READ CHAD E. FOSTER’S RESUME AND YOU KNOW HE’S A RAINMAKER

CHAD E. FOSTER

A job creator, billion-dollar revenue generator, change management leader, innovator, and

successful corporate exec. What’s not so obvious? He’s blind. Yet when Chad engages audiences, he makes it clear that he didn’t let his loss of

eyesight as a young adult confine him. He tackled obstacles as opportunities, becoming the first blind

graduate of Harvard Business School’s leadership program and later developing software to do what

Oracle said couldn’t be done. Now Chad teaches that same overcomer mindset to corporations

worldwide, delivering practical strategies to build resilience in challenging circumstances. Helping

others to transform their difficulties into opportunities is an outcome that he honestly

considers worth his loss of eyesight.
