iHeartMedia present CEOs you should know in the studio. Justin
Jude Global, CEO of LKQ Corporation, tell us about yourself.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I grew up in Clumbus, Ohio. I went to Ohio State,
traveled around quite a bit for different companies. Came to
work for a company called OKQ in two thousand and four.
So we live in Murphysboro today. I've been married for
twenty two years, eighteen year old daughter and a twelve
year old son.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
What is the mission of your business.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
To be the global value added distributor of products and
solutions services to our customers. Our customers are primarily collision
shops and mechanical shops.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Describe what your business is about.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
We were founded as a automotive recycler, so think of
a junkyard, but we much more professionalized a business. We
processed over eight hundred thousand vehicles and so we like
to make sure that those vehicles do not end up
in a landfill, chemicals don't end up in the soil,
and so we recycle, detoxify those vehicles and then sell
those products. You know, we're a large company, but we
operate very independently. We strive ourselves on entrepreneurship. We are
(00:57):
a company of over three hundred and twenty acquisitions since
nineteen ninety eight, so across the whole globe. We operate
in twenty five countries, so a lot of different cultures,
a lot of different backgrounds, and we pride ourselves on
bringing in diversity from a view standpoint, from an ethnicity standpoint.
So it's a great company work for. We have a
great future ahead of us for the products and services
that we offer, but we still have the autonomy to
operate as independent businesses throughout the world.
