Tom Fitch
My business experience
I have more than 30 years of business experience focused primarily on strategic thinking and developing creative approaches to open new markets and opportunities. I have held such positions as CEO and president of a company, Senior Vice President of Sales and Distribution and Chief Marketing Officer.
My Vistage experience
I have served as a Vistage Chair since 2003. Presently I lead two Chief Executive groups in the Chicago area.
I am committed to creating an environment where successful men and women can reach their greatest potential.
My Vistage Group
Members of my Vistage groups represent a broad range of companies and industries from manufacturing, retail sales and financial services to transportation and land development. Members lead first-generation businesses, second- and third-generation businesses as well as large corporate enterprises. The CEOs in both groups share honestly and openly their knowledge and experience to benefit all members' professional and personal growth.
Who is the "ideal" Vistage member?
The ideal Vistage member is an individual committed to growth, not only as a businessperson, but personally and professionally as well—a person who will challenge others to grow and develop.
