Depot from January 2007 to May 2014, and then as chairman through
January of 2015. He previously served as deputy secretary for the
US Department of Energy. Prior to that, he served in a wide
variety of executive roles at General Electric.
Frank's public sector experience includes having served as
general counsel for the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
deputy counsel to Vice President George H.W. Bush, and law clerk
to Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens.

Frank also produces a short-form podcast called Crazy Good Turns,
which tells inspiring stories about amazing people who do things
for others. In this wide-ranging conversation, we discuss a book
that inspired both of us, advice from Jack Welch, the art of
customer service, "productive conflict," and much, much
more. Enjoy!
