80/20 Institute Prophet Coach
Michael Mostek is an expert practitioner and teacher of the 80/20 processes and tools. He specializes in breakthrough profitable growth.

Many of his roles involved one or more key 80/20 processes. During his time with Rexnord Corporation (now part of Regal Rexnord), he experienced first-hand how a company goes from not using 80/20 to achieving profitable share gain through rigorous application of its tools and mentality. Most notably, he led the company in breakthrough aggressive product line growth then repeated the results on an entire vertical.
Michael's Recent Experience
Most recently, he led highly successful 80/20 implementations at PE-backed OTC Industrial Technologies and Arrowhead Engineered Products. 80/20’s success at OTC and Arrowhead led to increased interest from other businesses in the portfolio. Michael and his team then created robust repeatable processes, training, and tools to further speed and scale 80/20 implementations. The groundwork for the 80/20 Institute’s 80/20 implementation approach was laid here.
