American entrepreneur Brad Jacobs is a career CEO with a unique track record as a Wall Street moneymaker. He has founded and led eight companies, including six publicly traded, multibillion-dollar corporations: United Waste Systems, United Rentals, XPO and its spin-offs RXO and GXO Logistics, and now QXO, one of the world's largest building products distributors. Over the course of his career, he has completed approximately 500 M&A transactions, raised over $50 billion of debt and equity capital, and created tens of billions of dollars in shareholder value.

Jacobs grew XPO into a top ten 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 "200-bagger." United Waste's stock outperformed the S&P 500 by 5.6x over five years, from the time Jacobs took the company public to when it was sold for $2.5 billion.

Jacobs is chairman and CEO of QXO and executive chairman of XPO.
