When I agreed to come on board as the turnaround CEO of SKG, the exclusive dealer of MillerKnoll furniture in Central, South, and West Texas, I understood two things very clearly. First, there were problems to fix. Second, the potential for a great company was there.

Although I had not yet adopted the lens and language of an Evergreen® Business, I can tell you now that when I joined SKG, they had several of our principles solidly in place, but were in great need of improvement on the others. SKG has always been a people first company, they have always had a strong culture, they have always been highly focused on the customer experience, and they have always been private.
