Howard Mann is the President of Brickyard Partners Inc., the business design and development agency.

Prior to founding Brickyard Partners in 2001, Howard owned a premier international logistics company with six U.S. offices and a network of over 35 agents worldwide. As that business came under severe pressure from the previous economic downturn and industry consolidation, Howard led the company out from extremely difficult times by returning to the basics that can make every business great.

Finding that “secret sauce” did not come easily. Now he is determined to help other business leaders to never have to go through what he endured. Through real-world experience in the “trenches” he has learned that it is not following the latest fad, copying competitors, or adding complexity that makes a business truly great. These lessons, based on practice and not theory, fuel the passion in his talks, workshops, client engagements and one on one work with business leaders.
