Today, Scott Miller, Managing Director of Endeavor Colorado sits down with Kent Thiry, Former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DaVita Inc. to learn how he was able to cultivate a distinctively engaged culture that has a global reputation for developing well-rounded general managers and leaders so much so that his techniques have been the subject of leadership and culture case studies written by both Harvard and Stanford.

During his leadership at DaVita, the company grew revenues from approximately $1 billion to $11 billion, emerged as the leading clinical innovator in the kidney care community, and a leader in clinical outcomes generally, and grew equity market value from approximately $150 million to $10 billion, and a stock price of approximately 70 cents to $100.

Kent made a public pledge in 2015 that DaVita would be one of the first Fortune 500 companies to have a majority diverse board, and they fulfilled that pledge in 2016.
