Fast-rising corporate executive. Best-selling author. Highly sought-after Fortune 500 keynote speaker.

The son of Cuban immigrants who were victims of Castro’s revolution and resettled in Southern California, Glenn was raised on the American Dream and educated at UCLA.  Soon after graduating he was on the fast-track at the Gallo Wine Company and Sunkist, where he became the youngest executive in the company’s 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 the vice president of the $1 billion American Seafoods Company. The result was an increase in market share, new brand introduction and a full-scale transformation of that company, as Glenn brought the voices of all its employees into the company debate about its future for the first time in its history.
