Leadership

Lowell Wallace

Founder of Growth Trinity Group LLC

Lowell has enjoyed a widely varied and successful career on both client and agency sides of the desk. From his new product introduction work including Perrier, Moosehead and Corona Extra to his 2008 Turnaround of the Year Award for saving an Illinois company on the verge of bankruptcy, he has found ways to apply innovative marketing thinking in time-constrained, resource-lean environments.

His retail work has been equally varied from The Cheesecake Factory to Rubio’s Mexican Grill to True Value. It includes a strategist stint at FCB where he served as subject matter expert on e-commerce and big box retailing.

He is a frequent lecturer at Northwestern and published author on the role of the customer in accelerating business growth. As a true Buffettologist he has written a series of papers on the operating companies of Berkshire Hathaway, read by the big guy himself.

Still he finds time to serve on the Board of Trustees of the Naval Air Station Glenview Museum and is a member of both the Society of Air Racing Historians and the American Alliance of Museums.

Lowell and his wife are the parents of a USAF reconnaissance pilot and a collections specialist at the National Air and Space Museum.

And yes, he did drive one of Smoke's old cars at Chicagoland Speedway.
