Garry Ridge
Garry Ridge Biography
Garry Ridge has 25 years of experience as Chairman and CEO of WD-40 Company. He is also an adjunct professor at the University of San Diego, where he teaches the principles and practices of corporate culture in the Master of Science in Executive Leadership program.
Ridge’s philosophy on company culture is based on Aristotle’s quote – “Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.” Turning that into action, he believes that all leaders can create a workplace where you go to work each day, make a contribution to something bigger than yourself, learn something new, feel safe, are protected, and are provided freedom by a set of values and go home happy!
He is passionate about the learning and empowering organizational culture he has helped establish at the WD-40 Company. In 2009, he co-authored a book outlining his effective leadership techniques entitled “Helping People Win at Work.” His latest book, "Any Dumb-Ass Can Do It", co-authored with Martha Finney, tells the story of how he helped grow WD-40 Company into one of the world’s most recognized and beloved brands.
A native of Australia, Ridge holds a certificate in Modern Retailing and a Master of Science in Executive Leadership from the University of San Diego.
