Four-time Major League Baseball "Executive of the Year" award winner Billy Beane was named by Forbes as one of the "100 Greatest Living Business Minds." Best known for his business intel, Beane transitioned from General Manager to hero to celebrated management genius. Beane shattered traditional MLB beliefs that high payrolls equated wins by implementing a data driven methodology that led the Oakland A’s, with one of the lowest payrolls, to 7 AL Western Division titles and 10 playoff appearances. That strategic methodology has come to be known as the “Moneyball” philosophy, named for the best- selling book and Oscar nominated film that told his unforgettable winning underdog story.
With great insight and signature wit, Beane conveys his innovative, winning style of management and leadership, which involves identifying undervalued assets to create and sustain a competitive advantage. By striking parallels between baseball and business, Beane inspires audiences across industries (including health care, insurance, finance, etc.) with his unforgettable winning underdog story. Now you too can experience what it's like to build your business from someone who is best known for it at this year’s Summit Keynote presentation.
