Mark King
Starting as a young salesman who sold the then-unknown TaylorMade brand to pro shops, Mark King rose through the ranks and took the reins of his company at a time when both sales - and corporate morale - were on the decline. Through his unwavering passion for the game and business of golf and by embracing a back-to-basics, bottom-up approach to management, King continues to lead the company’s unprecedented growth from $300 million a year in sales to $1.2 billion in less than a decade. King shares his hard-learned experience on what it takes to empower a team and sustain growth for an international business through even the toughest of times. Beyond leadership of a company, King also shows the importance of leading oneself by explaining what it takes to be a great salesperson, how to stay personally motivated and how to cultivate that energy in others. A charismatic and energetic leader, King’s entertaining presentations challenge audiences to envision where their companies should be tomorrow and eradicate the behavior that is holding them back today.
