Bill Zollars is a Kansas City transplant hailing from Minnesota. The now-retired CEO of Yellow Roadway Corp (YRC) came to KC with his wife and three kids in the 90’s and “immediately felt at home.”
Now leading Kansas City’s first CEO Academy at UMKC’s Bloch School this fall, Bill is passionate about cultivating a supportive community of leaders like the network he relied upon during his tenure. The program will be facilitated by some of KC’s most successful CEO’s, including Bill himself, along with Dan Hesse, the former head of Sprint, Greg Graves, the former CEO of Burns and McDonnell, and many more.
Bill talks parenthood, leadership, and the phrase his father, a WWII B-17 pilot and prisoner of war, said to him that has shaped his life.
