Tim Sullivan

Tim Sullivan is former president and CEO of Bucyrus International, Inc., and will be our 2012 keynote speaker.  Sullivan is credited with transforming the organization from a cash-poor company on life support to a world-class leader in the mining equipment industry. During Tim’s tenure, Bucyrus moved from the 25th fastest growing U.S. company in 2009 to the 8th fastest growing U.S. company in 2010 according to rankings published annually by Forbes.  The company's turnaround attracted the attention of Caterpillar Inc., which acquired the company earlier this year for more than $8 billion.
