Tim Haake
Board of Trustees - Board Member
An innate visionary, Tim has been fortunate to sit in the ownership/CEO seat of multiple businesses across the manufacturing, wholesale/e-commerce, real estate, and retail industries. He started his career in business development with a Fortune 500 company before joining his family’s commercial insurance brokerage firm – and then his career as an entrepreneur began. Most recently, Tim successfully transitioned a second-generation family business to new ownership before joining Acumen, where he currently serves 20+ business owner/CEOs as a Growth Catalyst.
Tim is experienced in navigating the complex challenges of building an effective leadership team, understanding the dynamics of family business, leading an organization through seemingly insurmountable headwinds, and driving culture by building relationships with employees at all levels of an organization.
Tim and his wife, Lauren, have 6 children and are members of St. Bridget Parish in Pleasant Hill, MO. Their oldest son, Timothy, is a student at St. Michael. 4 of their other 5 children attend the Discovery Homeschool Academy, a hybrid homeschool south of Lee’s Summit.
Tim is a graduate of Rockhurst High School (1998) and Boston College (2002). His other activities include staying physically fit, playing drums and guitar, reading history, spending time with his family, and is always up for long road trips.
