Kim
Lorenz is an author, entrepreneur, and visionary who founded two
companies starting at age 26 with no backing or funding. Not only did he build
and run them successfully, but he sold them both to Fortune 500 companies before
he was 47. Through his years as a business owner, partner, and CEO, Kim has
developed a key understanding of what it takes to succeed in business. Kim's
mission is to teach vital tools essential for business success beyond what is
taught in business schools. He earned his MBA from the University of Washington,
Foster School of Business. Kim is the former Commodore of the Seattle Yacht
Club, and a 39-year Rotarian. While serving as Rotary Liaison with World Vision,
the collaborative teams he initiated have completed over $20 million in clean
water projects with over 1 million beneficiaries in developing countries
worldwide. He is a business consultant, proven leader, public speaker and
motivator, a pilot for 40 years, and holds a USCG Captains license. Kim lives
with his wife in Bellevue, WA.
He will speak to us about "Opportunity
Drives Success" (likely taking from his top-rated book,
Tireless). Learn to visualize Opportunity, act on it, change
the way you think while improving your Rotary Life.
