The thesis
Why this org is unusual
Three segment presidents plus a COO report directly to the CEO, creating an unusually wide enterprise span for a manufacturing company.
Mohawk combines a strong COO role with direct CEO oversight of its three reporting segments—Global Ceramic, Flooring North America, and Flooring Rest of World—rather than inserting an additional group president layer.

- CEO tenure exceeds 20 years
- Direct CEO oversight of all three segments
