Karl F. Muller

Karl F. Muller—President of The Muller Group, Inc., began his career in manufacturing in the late 70’s with a 200-employee, privately owned company in the Philadelphia area. He was subsequently recruited to a major publically held corporation and quickly rose through the ranks to become a division general manager by 1982. Mr. Muller’s operating success was attributed to his aggressive use of unique leadership strategies, measurements and performance-based compensation linked directly to the corporation’s monthly financial performance. Karl’s strategies and methods gained attention in numerous business publications and he began receiving inquires asking for his help from other businesses. This level of interest caused him to leave his position in industry and begin a consulting career. Mr. Muller possesses strong operations, financial and human resource expertise and has personally lead over 190 client projects throughout North America involving organizational performance, variable pay/incentives/gainsharing, and employee engagement. His firm has been involved in approximately 500 projects in total. When asked if The Muller Group “specializes” in a particular industry, he say yes… those industries that have employees and financial statements! Although having a heart for manufacturing, they “specialize” in providing tools to drive organizational performance in any industry. It’s all about people and performance.
