Richard Scrushy
Richard Scrushy brings incredible business leadership experience to the Toolbox table. Starting with a simple business card and a dream he founded and built HealthSouth, where he served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for nearly twenty years. In addition to his years at the helm of HealthSouth, he served as Chairman of another corporation for several years until it merged with a major NYSE company and he served as Chairman and CEO of the third company.
Richard’s story doesn’t end there, however. As once the highest paid CEO of all New York Stock Exchange companies, he faced a federal indictment of thirty-six counts and faced 400 years in prison, but was found not guilty on all thirty-six counts. If that wasn’t enough, within six months of that victory he received another indictment which he is still fighting to clear his name from to this day.
His is an amazing story of trial and triumphs…and faith through it all.
