Brad Jacobs is an American entrepreneur and a career CEO with a unique track record as a Wall Street moneymaker and business builder. He has founded and led eight companies, including six publicly traded, multibillion-dollar corporations: United Waste, United Rentals, and XPO--along with its two spin-offs, GXO Logistics and RXO--and, more recently, QXO. Over the course of his career, he has completed approximately 500 M&A transactions, raised over 60 billion dollars of institutional capital, and created tens of billions of dollars in shareholder value.

Jacobs grew XPO into a top 10 global logistics provider and the seventh-best-performing stock of the last decade in the Fortune 500. XPO's stock became a "50-bagger"--initial investors in 2011 made more than 50 times their money. United Rentals was the sixth-best-performing stock during the same period and is now more than a "300-bagger." United Waste's stock outperformed the S&P 500 by 5.6 times over five years, from the time Jacobs took the company public to when it was sold in 1997.

Today, Jacobs serves as chairman and CEO of QXO, the second-largest publicly traded building products distributor in North America.
