The Big O Tires story begins back in 1962, just as Americas new love affair with the automobile was hitting high gear. The market for replacement tires was exploding, and independent tire dealers found themselves struggling to compete in the face of low prices offered by major tire manufacturers own company stores. Big Os founding fathers were a handful of progressive independent tire dealers who decided to band together to form a tire-buying cooperative so that they could secure volume pricing and keep their customers happy. Their concept worked. In the years that followed, The Big O Tires co-op evolved into a full-fledged franchise as it continued to find innovative ways to harness the power of the collective to benefit independent dealerships and their customers. Almost a half-decade later, Big O Tires has become North Americas largest retail tire franchisor, with over 400 independently-owned and operated locations in 20 states, providing customers with a broad range of automotive services in addition to quality tires, wheels and accessories. Big O has become an industry role model admired for its innovative approach to franchising and unmatched customer loyalty ratings. In 1996, Big O Tires joined forces with one of the largest and most respected tire marketers in the nation when it became part of the TBC Retail Group, an automotive retail network comprised of some 1,200 Big O Tires, Tire Kingdom, Merchants and NTB locations spanning 40 U.S. states. Big Os reach was broadened again in 2005, when TBC Corporation was acquired by Sumitomo Corporation of America, the largest wholly-owned subsidiary of Tokyo-based Sumitomo, one of the worlds leading traders of goods and services. As Big O Tires continues to thrive and adapt to an ever-changing marketplace, it remains rooted in its humble beginnings as a proud collective of independent dealers committed to putting its customers first.

A Global Development Expedition FOR women, not ABOUT women. Signature Leaders is designed to augment, rather than replace, existing corporate executive leadership development. These are programs for women with the highest potential, to fast-track them into next level leadership. These women are managing large P&Ls, leading transformations across the enterprise or sizeable functional teams, or in that critical "pivot" from managing to leading. We gather these elite leaders from around the world for introspective learning and external connections. Our executive faculty covers our framework of Who You Are, How You Show Up, and How You Relate to Others. Unlike typical seminars or conferences, participants will join the Signature community upon enrollment. This means the opportunities for learning and growth starts prior to, and continues beyond, the immersion session. Signature alumni move forward with an invaluable network of more than 2,300 peers and 250 executive faculty members and advisors who support them throughout their ongoing leadership journey. Why Signature as a name? Because every executive has a unique style and "signature" embedded in the way they lead. Our curriculum focuses on the essential capabilities needed for next level leadership in a way that encourages executives to broaden, not change their own distinct style – the leadership signature that makes them authentic.
