Throughout his career, Ken Weaver has been solving problems for organizations with a patient, strategic approach that emphasizes listening. He was essentially the “fix-it guy” for the Bridgestone Corporation during his 30-year tenure, serving in a variety of roles including President of Bridgestone North American Tire Commercial Sales, CFO of Bridgestone Americas, and Chairman, CEO and President of Firestone Diversified Products.

He takes a patient approach, providing a strategic perspective that focuses on long-term results and sustainable value creation. Ken serves on council boards for the Boy Scouts of America — an organization that honored him with the Distinguished Eagle Scout award in 2011.
