Brian Gottlieb Biography

Brian Gottlieb is a bestselling author, entrepreneur, and leadership coach known for his work in organizational development and high-performance culture. Gottlieb founded Tundraland Home Improvements with $3,000, growing the startup into a group of home improvement businesses, including Tundraland, Renewal by Andersen of Greater Wisconsin, and Jacuzzi Bath Remodel of Arizona. These companies expanded across multiple states, employed more than 600 people, and generated nearly $1 billion in lifetime sales. The company was recognized by INC 5000 as one of the fastest-growing companies in the United States.

After selling Tundraland to a private equity firm, Renewal by Andersen to the leadership team, and Jacuzzi Bath Remodel to the Jacuzzi corporation, Gottlieb shifted focus to supporting the business community. His leadership philosophy centers on the principle that building a great business requires first building great people. This approach, outlined in his Five Pillars of Leadership framework, contributed to Tundraland being named the best place to work in Wisconsin. Gottlieb has received recognition as Entrepreneur of the Year by the Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce and Businessperson of the Year by the Greater Green Bay Chamber of Commerce.

Gottlieb is the author of two business books published by Forbes Books. "Beyond the Hammer" guides business owners and managers in creating better work environments, preventing employee burnout, and empowering employees to find purpose in their work. The book uses business parables and his five tenets of business management to share insights from the remodeling industry. "Beyond the Hammer" was named a Business Book Awards Business Journey Finalist. His follow-up, "Beyond the Script: How Top-Performing Salespeople Earn Trust and Win More Business," explores sales leadership and team performance.

Gottlieb founded Baths for the Brave, a national program providing free, safer showers to veterans with mobility challenges, impacting more than 400 veterans nationwide. Through the annual Windows for a Cause fundraiser, Tundraland set a Guinness World Records title for the largest display of painted windows, combining community engagement with charitable giving. A Harvard Business School executive education alumnus, Gottlieb is also an angel investor, board member, and keynote speaker in the fields of business leadership, home improvement, and organizational culture.
