Douglas Campbell and the price of keeping a car on the road
A childhood around racetracks led Douglas Campbell into dealerships, rental fleets and the corner office at America’s Car-Mart. Now the automotive operator faces a test that reaches well beyond the sales floor: finding the money to keep the business moving.
Ed Cyster and the Art of Handing Over the Controls
He built 4media group from a London broadcast PR business into a transatlantic communications group. Now the aerobatic pilot has handed over the CEO role to concentrate on acquisitions and what comes next.
John Furner and the price of a minute
He started in a Bentonville garden center. Three decades later, Walmart’s CEO is betting that the future of shopping depends on understanding what people would rather be doing.
Tammy Sun and the Business of Getting to Yes
Before Tammy Sun built Carrot into a global benefits platform, she learned to read institutions from the inside. Her career is a study in what happens when a founder trusts the customer’s yes more than the market’s no.
Robby Knight
Robby Knight is the co-founder and CEO of evermore (formerly Soda Health), a healthtech company that turns supplemental health benefits into a Smart Benefits platform connecting Medicare Advantage members, health plans, and retailers like CVS, Walgreens, and Kroger. A social worker by training who spent nearly eight years architecting consumer health at Walmart, Knight built the company on a simple frustration: people's first-order needs (food, OTC medicine, transportation) were being met through a patchwork of inefficient programs. evermore has raised roughly $100 million, including a $50M Series B led by General Catalyst in December 2024.
