President and CEO, Beecher Carlson

October 15, 2007

Reading over the accomplishments of our eighth ranked honoree, it seems clear that sometimes success is part of a person's DNA all along.

Tom Golub sold encyclopedias door-to-door to pay for college; he was a triathlete until he was struck by a car while riding. He spent 19 years at the risk management company, the Hobbs Group, learning the business and part of the team that grew annual revenues from $3 million to $19 million.

Today, Tom is president and CEO of Beecher Carlson, a fast growing insurance and risk management company. They've enjoyed triple digit growth over the past three years – half of it organically and half through acquisition.

They are one of the most vertically focused companies in their space.

For help with another point of view, Tom taps a network of a half dozen or so mentors individually once a year and gets their counsel over lunch. A little known fact about Tom: He bought a race horse, though he knows nothing about horses or racing.
