Raising the Bar
James Weaver, CEO of Gold's Gym International, comes across as a man who sticks to his word. He's also a man who doesn't believe in walking away from a job and leaving unfinished business behind. A born entrepreneur with a real desire to improve - regardless of the project - Weaver seems to be exactly what Gold's has been looking for: A leader who can help take the gym chain to the next level and allow the company to realize its full potential as one of the most recognizable brands in the world.
A LEADER IN THE MAKING
Weaver grew up in Dallas in a family with a modest income. He went to work at an early age to help make ends meet and paid his own way through school at the University of Texas, ultimately graduating with honors. After college, Weaver set out to find a company that would allow him the opportunity to apply his education to the business world. He was looking for an organization that would offer opportunities for advancement and excellent training, which he found in Johnson & Johnson Medical. Throughout his 10 years with the company, Weaver led sales and marketing for its Hospital Division and also gained experience with operations.
