Words from Jim Schiffler, former Board Chair of Saint Cloud Industrial Products, Inc., a 100% ESOP-owned Company:
“… if you are looking for a board member with a strong finance background Bob Kovell is your guy“
Jim Schiffler, Former Board Chair
Saint Cloud Industrial Products, Inc.
“Bob’s work on our Board of Directors and his extensive knowledge about ESOPs has helped guide our business through the transition of becoming 100% ESOP-owned. Bob is a strategic thinker and problem solver and he has helped our company to move toward planning for the future, and not just “the now.”
Furthermore, I trust him to always be honest about what he thinks is best for the company.”
Tina Erpenbach, Past President
Northern States Supply
“I brought Bob on to our Board of Directors as one of your first outside directors. His experience with ESOPs and in Finance was attractive to us early in our ESOP life. Six years later his work on our board has proved to be invaluable. I can count on Bob to challenge us to be better and he delivers.
Bill Sullivan, Board Chair
Brin Glass Company
“As Vice-Chair of the Joint Finance Committee, Bob has provided substantial value to CentraCare Health & St. Cloud Hospital, a combined entity with revenues of $1.8 billion. He is a strategic thinker who has made a significant impact on our organization.”
