LAWRENCE C. KARLSON currently serves on the board of directors of a number of public corporations. He has broad experience investing in and building the corporate value of companies of all sizes, both public and private, through internal growth and acquisition. Since his retirement, Mr. Karlson has served on numerous boards and led various committees, including audit, finance, corporate governance, and compensation committees in these organizations. He has also provided consulting services to a wide range of companies in Europe and the United States.
Lawrence C. Karlson's successful business career has spanned over 50 years and has included everything from designing control systems for customers to running businesses in diverse countries such as Australia, Sweden, and the United States, and sitting on the Boards of Fortune 500 companies.

At times, Karlson's ideas may seem unconventional, but you will have many "A-ha" moments as you read his detailed descriptions of what makes a business tick.
