Christopher Volk

The Business Power Hour with Deb Krier

Christopher Volk is a rare three-peat public company leader. He took his first company public in 1994 and later started and led two other companies, which went public in 2004 and 2014. So, he knows something about creating and designing a business. Together his three companies outperformed the broader markets, invested over $20 billion into real estate across the country, and attracted noted shareholders, including Berkshire Hathaway. He stepped away at the end of 2021 to write, teach and help other businesses be successful. Foremost on his list is to guide current and future leaders on the elements of business model design. Business models don’t just happen. They have to be crafted. The world’s wealthiest people universally owe their net worths to business ownership, and what differentiates their success often is centered in the business models they deploy. He is the author of The Value Equation: A Business Guide to Wealth Creation for Entrepreneurs, Leaders and Investors. Using his V-Formula, entrepreneurs can determine in advance their companies’ pre-tax return on equity and wealth creation potential.
