Biography

Glenn Llopis is a Cuban-American executive, entrepreneur, senior advisor and speaker to Fortune 500 companies and organizations in retail, consumer packaged goods, healthcare and beyond. He is also the bestselling author of the books Earning Serendipity, The Innovation Mentality and Leadership in the Age of Personalization. His next book, Unleashing Individuality, is scheduled to be released in 2022. He has been a leadership strategy contributor to Forbes since 2010 and contributes to Harvard Business Review and Entrepreneur Magazine.

Mr. Llopis is the president of GLLG, a consulting firm that builds high-performance leaders, teams and cultures focusing on inclusion and the power of individuality to achieve growth. Through executive summits, intensive coaching, scalable on-demand training, incisive proprietary assessments and customized strategies for enterprisewide deployment, GLLG helps leaders build systems that put ideas into action.

He is also the founder of the Leadership in the Age of Personalization movement, which includes a consortium of more than 100 members across four cohorts (healthcare, corporate, higher education and boards) that work together to redefine what leadership really means in today’s more personalized world.

Mr. Llopis was the youngest executive in Sunkist Juice Beverages’ 100-year history. Leading the successful turnaround of Sunkist’s juice beverage division opened the door for his next endeavor—at only 30 years old—as a senior executive at American Seafoods Company, leading the food service and retail business operational units. The result was an increase in market share, new brand introductions and a full-scale transformation of the company.

In 1997, Mr. Llopis launched his first business, Luna Rossa Gourmet Foods, and in 2007, he founded GLLG to study this question: How can leaders seize growth opportunities when they feel crushed and in turn stifle those they lead? Mr. Llopis has explored this question through extensive research, through GLLG’s own people analytics, and through dozens of one-on-one interviews with business visionaries grappling with the same challenge.
