QUINT STUDER

FOUNDER, STUDER FAMILY OF COMPANIES, PENSACOLA

Studer is a former hospital president who went into health-care consulting. He’s been a major force in redeveloping downtown Pensacola. He and his wife, Rishy, own a Minor League Baseball team, the Blue Wahoos. Recently, he created and funded a project to bring “the top 14 urban planners to Pensacola to intentionally raise the civic IQ of people in the community.”

He recently completed a book titled “The Busy Leader’s Handbook,” which he says is the ABCs of creating great organizations. It is written, he says, so that “the reader can flip to any chapter they need at the time, whether it is giving feedback to employees, providing great customer service, or how to do great hiring.”
