About Marcus Lemonis
Many know him as the “business turnaround king” and host of CNBC’s prime time reality series The Profit, where he lends his expertise while using his famous “three Ps” principle (People, Process, and Product) to assist struggling businesses around the country. His biggest success is as the chairman and CEO of Camping World, the nation’s largest RV and outdoor retailer, and Good Sam, the world’s largest RV owner’s organization.
It was a conversation with family friend and former Chrysler CEO Lee Iacocca, who advised Lemonis to get into the camping and RV business, which put him on the path to eventual chairmanship. Lemonis has streamlined the RV industry, buying more than 100 RV companies from dealerships across the country and turning them into Camping World RV SuperCenters. After combining Camping World with Good Sam Enterprises in 2010, Lemonis now leads nearly 7,000 employees in over 100 U.S. cities, and recorded close to $3 billion in sales in 2014.
Lemonis was named RV Business Magazine’s “Newsmaker of the Year”, landed in Crain’s Chicago Business “40 under 40” list, and Ernst and Young named him “Entrepreneur of the Year.” Over the years, he has also contributed time and money to various organizations including: St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, NVEEE (National Voices for Equality, Education and Enlightenment), New Journey’s Transitional Home, Neat Stuff, Ravinia Festival Association, RV/MH Hall of Fame & Museum and the Joffrey Ballet Bridge Program.
Marcus Lemonis drives results through collaborations, partnerships and relationships. His advice for aspiring entrepreneurs is simple: stay focused, work hard, know your numbers, and be disciplined.
