During more than four decades as a CEO and serial entrepreneur, Brad Jacobs has created flagship companies across multiple industries, delivering tens of billions of dollars of value to shareholders. To date, Jacobs has founded seven billion-dollar or multibillion-dollar businesses, completed approximately 500 M&A transactions, and raised 30 billion dollars of debt and equity capital, including three IPOs. He began his career at age 23 when he founded Amerex Oil Associates, followed by Hamilton Resources, both privately held. He subsequently created five publicly traded companies—United Waste Systems, United Rentals, XPO, and XPO’s two spin-offs, GXO Logistics and RXO. Jacobs has demonstrated a Midas touch with value creation. He 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 "32-bagger"—initial investors in 2011 made more than 32 times their money. United Rentals was the sixth best-performing Fortune 500 stock during the same period and is now more than a “100-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 he sold it for 2.5 billion dollars. Jacobs is chairman of the board of directors of XPO, GXO and RXO, and incoming chairman and CEO of QXO, Inc.
