Bill Howe is the President of
Growth Engine Group, a consulting and executive coaching firm specializing in "Go-to-Market" Growth Strategies. This unique methodology integrates an optimized business planning process with all aspects of marketing, branding, and sales strategy. Bill’s 20 years of leadership experience span both ends of the business spectrum from corporate officer in Fortune 100 corporations to CEO of small and mid-size companies.
Bill’s bold approach consistently yields blockbuster results. He has led three dramatic turnarounds and managed over 100 businesses and brands. The new businesses he has launched and the failing ones he has turned around have gone on to collectively generate over $2.0 Billion in annual revenues. In addition, Bill has significant international experience, training hundreds of top sales managers from over 30 countries.
Bill has pioneered a revolutionary strategic planning process, the "Business RoadMAP", which offers major advantages over the unproductive, time-intensive traditional business plans that frustrate so many executives. The hallmark of this streamlined model is the "Line-of-Sight Strategy System". It enables executives to understand, often for the very first time, how strategy works by seeing how the pieces actually fit together to create breakthrough results.
In recognition of his unique insights into business transformation, Bill was selected to co-author a new book with business giants Brian Tracy, Robert G. Allen and Mark Victor Hansen. The book, entitled "Create the Business Breakthrough You Want... Secrets and Strategies from the World’s Greatest Mentors", is slated for bookshelves in October 2004.
Bill received an MBA from the Wharton School of Business, University of Pennsylvania and a BA from Hobart College. He lives in Springfield, Virginia with his wife and two daughters.
