Charles G. Koch Biography

Charles G. Koch is chairman of the board and CEO of Koch Industries, Inc., a position he has held since 1967. Since then, the company has been transformed into a dynamic and diverse group of companies employing more than 100,000 people worldwide, with about 60,000 of those in the United States, and a presence in about 60 countries. Since 2003, Koch companies have invested approximately $65 billion in acquisitions and other capital expenditures. Based in Wichita, Kan., Koch Industries is involved in refining, chemicals and biofuels; forest and consumer products; fertilizers; polymers and fibers; process and pollution control equipment and technologies; electronic components; commodity trading; minerals; energy; ranching; glass; and investments. Familiar Koch companiesā€™ brands include STAINMASTERĀ® carpet, LYCRAĀ® fiber, Quilted NorthernĀ® tissue, and the DixieĀ® brand of cups, plates, and cutlery.

Much of Koch Industriesā€™ success can be traced to Mr. Kochā€™s interest in and commitment to scientific and social progress, which led to the development and implementation of Market-Based ManagementĀ® business philosophy. The concepts and practice of MBMĀ® are described in Mr. Kochā€™s book, The Science of Success, published in February 2007 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Mr. Koch is further developing the theories and expanding the practice of the MBM philosophy, as well as other applications of the science of human action, not only throughout Koch Industries, but also with scholars, non-profit leaders, government officials and other business leaders.

He has continuously supported academic and public policy research (including a number of Nobel Prize winners) for 50 years, with a special focus on developing voluntary, market-based solutions to social problems. This interest led Mr. Koch to found or help build a number of organizations, including the Institute for Humane Studies, Cato Institute, Mercatus Center at George Mason University, Bill of Rights Institute, and Market-Based Management Institute.

Mr. Koch received a bachelorā€™s degree in general engineering and two masterā€™s degrees in nuclear and chemical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

His employment has been as an engineer, Arthur D. Little, Inc. 1959-61; vice president, Koch Engineering Company, Inc. 1961-63, president, 1963-71; president, Koch Industries, Inc. 1966-74; chairman and chief executive officer, 1967- present.

He was born in Wichita, Kansas. Mr. Koch and his wife of 41 years, Liz, have two children.
