Welcome Retail Optical Owners
Why a Retail Optical Mastermind Alliance?
For the past ten years, Business Owners International has brought together owners and executives of industry-specific operations to create achievement-oriented Alliances in which members learn from each other and grow. Each Mastermind Alliance consists of seven to twelve elite owners and executives who work in the same industry but come from non-compete markets.
"The best practices to apply to your business come from those who perform them every day."
- Bill Chionio, Founder of Business Owners International
What, When and Where?
Retail Optical Mastermind Alliance members meet twice a year for two days in a predetermined city, to share their knowledge and to work on their goals of becoming stronger leaders - not only in their companies but in their personal lives as well. They discuss topics of utmost importance to their businesses and their lives, and they gain access to their industry's best practices as well as advice and assistance for tackling specific problems. Check out our Frequently Asked Questions for more information.
Meet Our Facilitator - Art Geary
Art is a dynamic senior executive and leader, with a broad range of experience from start-up to Fortune 50 companies in eye care, insurance, finance and securities, medical software, and commercial construction. As president of a major east coast optometric practice, he increased revenue by 280%, making it one of the 40 largest eye-care companies in America based on annual revenue, and among the top 5 in the industry based on revenue per location as ranked against the top 50 in Vision Monday annually. Simultaneously, he also built a new ophthalmology practice from zero to $2.2 million in net revenue.
Previously, as chief development officer of a pioneering Philadelphia area ophthalmology practice, in three years he increased net revenue from $6.3 million to $17.6 million, and contribution margin growth from $3.8 million to $9.1 million. Facilities grew from one surgery center and five surgeons to five facilities in four states with fifteen surgeons and seventeen satellite offices. He has a proven track record of quickly absorbing and assimilating new information, developing and executing strategic vision on a regional and national basis, successfully driving organizational change, building outstanding teams, mentoring and developing staff and executives, and dramatically increasing revenue while controlling costs.
Art's core competencies include superior negotiating skills, contract knowledge, business development, organizational development, acquisitions, marketing, advertising, commercial construction oversight, strategic vision development and execution, a strong background in finance, and ethical leadership. Art joined the BOI team in 2011 and we are happy to have him on board!
