Jeff Ruby
Jeff Ruby, Author of RedRock Leadership: Transform Your Company and Unleash the Potential for Exponential Growth
I’ve always had an entrepreneurial spirit and a desire to help others. At the age of 10, I was building soda can lamps and selling them to my neighbors for a profit.
After graduating from The University of Akron, I was named head of sales for a national lighting contractor where I helped grow revenue from $700k to $5.8m in less than four years.
At 30, I started my first company and learned firsthand how poor planning and lack of leadership can bring a company to its knees. It was during that time that I learned the value of being surrounded by solid mentors. Under their guidance I set some lofty goals. Then, once those goals were accomplished, I sold the company and relocated my family from Northeast Ohio to Florida.
Shortly thereafter, I packaged what I learned while building that business and I started RedRock Leadership.
In 2020 I published RedRock Leadership: Transform Your Company Culture and Unleash the Potential for Exponential Growth, which outlines best practices that’s helped strengthen 1,000’s of business leaders around the world.
Today, I’m a Certified EOS Implementer® and I help emerging growth companies establish vision, get traction, and stay healthy.
