Lippert Components, Inc. has named Adam Kronk chief culture and leadership development officer.
Kronk served as the head of school at La Lumiere, an independent, co-educational boarding school. Before that, he was the founding director of the Notre Dame Deloitte Center for Ethical Leadership in the Mendoza College of Business at the University of Notre Dame.
“We are very fortunate to have Adam join us at this stage in his career,” said Lippert CEO Jason Lippert. “His experience shows leadership, philanthropy and service are part of Adam’s core which aligns directly with who we are at Lippert. I cannot think of anyone better to lead this great leadership and culture team. Adam’s leadership and vision will most definitely help expedite and facilitate the growth of the men and women inside our four walls so that ultimately, they can have more impact outside our four walls.”
Kronk began his career as an English teacher, then worked overseas as Notre Dame’s director of campus ministry outreach in Europe before returning to South Bend and serving as Center for the Homeless COO.
Adam earned undergraduate and master’s degrees from Notre Dame and is pursuing his doctorate in leadership and learning in organizations from Vanderbilt University.
“I learned a long time ago that the values an organization lives out must start at the very top,” Kronk said. “It has been clear from every conversation I have had that ‘business as a force for good’ is in Lippert’s DNA. Through every step of my career journey, it has been my top priority to ensure that each person I encounter is treated with dignity and respect—human flourishing is impossible without that. I am thrilled to help further the great work happening here and to join such a capable, purpose-driven team.”
