Harrison S. "Harry" Campbell is a senior executive with a strong track record of success over 24 years.  Harry has been a President for two Fortune 500 companies, co-owner of an award-winning small business, CEO/Board member of an Internet start-up and founding member of the industry-changing Wal-Mart/P&G Customer Team in NW Arkansas.  He has driven exceptional people and business results in organizations of 25 to 3,500 employees in a broad range of industries from consumer packaged goods to telecom to sports marketing to digital media.  He is known as an excellent identifier, developer and motivator of exceptional talent at all levels of the organization.

Early on, his views on leadership were forged at Procter & Gamble where he worked in Brand Management on notable products including Crest, Pepto-Bismol and Metamucil.  Harry was a founding member of the P&G/Walmart Customer Team based in Fayetteville, Arkansas.  In 1992, Campbell moved from consumer packaged goods to the telecom sector when he joined Sprint.  While there, he served in several leadership roles, culminating in his being appointed president of the multi-billion dollar Consumer Long Distance unit in 2002.   His final role with Sprint was leading the Emerging and Mid-Markets unit in which he was responsible for selling to and servicing all telecommunications products to business customers across the US in the mid-market, small-market, SOHO and local government arenas.

Most recently, Campbell led the Consumer Markets Division at Embarq, a spin-off from Sprint.  Recently purchased by CenturyTel and now known as CenturyLink, Embarq was a Fortune 400, NYSE-traded telecom company with annual revenue of $6B.  As president of the Consumer Markets Division, Campbell was responsible for nearly half of Embarq's annual revenue and an organization of 3000 employees.  His group provided marketing, sales, service and operational support for a full line of communication and entertainment services to 4 million residential customers in 18 states.   

His other senior management experience spanned two distinctly different, small businesses.  Campbell served as president/CEO (and member of the Board) of uclick.  Uclick is a digital syndication company that packages and distributes branded content, comics and word games on the web, representing over 110 features such as Garfield, Dear Abby, FoxTrot and Doonesbury.  He was also co-owner/EVP of a sports marketing agency that was recognized as 1998 Business of the Year in Kansas City.  

Campbell holds a bachelor's degree in East Asian History and Economics from Vanderbilt University (where he still holds the school Track and Field record for the 10,000 meters) and an MBA with a concentration in Marketing from Indiana University's Kelley Graduate School of Business.
