Rick Miller – Turnaround Guru and Author of Be Chief: It’s a Choice, Not a Title
Rick Miller is an unconventional turnaround specialist, a servant leader, and a go-to Chief. He is also an experienced and trusted confidant, an author, a sought-after speaker, and an expert at driving sustainable growth. For over 30 years, Rick served as a successful business executive in roles including President and/or CEO in a Fortune 10, a Fortune 30, a startup, and a non-profit. In each case, he was recruited from the outside to turn around poor performance in difficult times. He served as President of Lucent, President of ATT, and President and COO of US Opus360, which he took public in an $85 million IPO. Rick is a Chief not because of his many high-ranking titles, but because of his ability to bring out the best in others–and in himself–using the choices he developed in his Power Compass, a road-tested sustainable growth model he created over the course of his successful career, and which he shares in this book and continues to use with his clients.
Dawson Hobbs – Senior Vice President of Government Affairs for the Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America (WSWA),
Dawson Hobbs is the Senior Vice President of Government Affairs for the Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America (WSWA) and oversees the association’s state, federal and regulatory government affairs team.

With more than 18 years of state government affairs experience, Dawson has been an active participant in numerous state legislative battles and has developed relationships with policymakers from across the country. The legal cannabis industry continues to be one of the fastest growing areas of North America’s economy. The legalization of medical cannabis in Canada and many American states have fostered a thriving medical cannabis industry over the past decade, consisting of everything from pharmaceutical companies to retail specialists. With recreational use now legal in several states, the industry is set to blossom further. The Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America (WSWA) recently announced an official policy position in favor of a state’s right to establish a legal, well-regulated, adult-use cannabis marketplace; it is the first and only beverage alcohol association to do so. In states where cannabis is or will subsequently be legalized, the association calls on the federal government to respect the right of states to legalize cannabis if they adopt cannabis market regulations that meet a framework like that governing beverage alcohol.
