Executive Leadership Team

It’s Not About Us. The idea that it’s not about us may seem in conflict with the reputation of executive level leadership but that’s exactly the point. Serving, instead of commanding, TurnPoint’s executive leadership team prioritizes the success of customers, employees, and our market leading brands above all else. TurnPoint works to enable our brand-teams to grow, develop and make a difference in local communities across America. This is accomplished through our attitude, tools, resources, assistance, and supportive culture. A “we before me” mindset, paired with the sense of purpose to turn bad days into good ones.

That's TurnPoint.
