As chairman and chief executive officer, Charles Koch has presided over the dramatic growth of Koch Industries. Under his leadership, this energy-based firm has grown from $177 million in sales in 1966 to over $20 billion today, and it ranks as the second largest privately held company in America. Mr. Koch is dedicated to developing market-based management, an approach that draws insight from the productivity of the free marketplace. He has helped establish centers to study market-based management at the University of Kansas and George Mason University. His commitment also carries over to his philanthropic interests, which include funding programs that apply market solutions to social problems. He was instrumental in founding the Cato Institute and Citizens for a Sound Economy. He serves as chairman of the board of the Institute for Humane Studies and the Center for Market Processes.
