Issue 56

In Issue 56 of The American Executive, we mark a century of business done properly. Goodville Mutual takes our cover as David Gautsche, Phil Shirk and Vince Zaffiro lead the Pennsylvania insurer into its hundredth year, while MCC, Inc. reaches the same milestone in Oneida, Wisconsin. Eric DeMarco explains why Kratos Defense builds products rather than PowerPoints, Eli Crotzer reveals the acquisition strategy that built ARCH Global Precision, and Danny Palo charts his rise from part-time driver to CEO of VRC. We also mark CORE Molding Technologies' thirtieth anniversary, hear Citi's read on Argentina, learn how Hudson County Community College transformed student completion rates, and go behind the scenes of a Cleveland Browns game day. Plus, we remember Ted Turner, celebrate thirty years of Pokémon, and unpack the launch that made Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire.
