Art Barter
As the owner and cultural architect of Datron World Communications, Inc., Art Barter turned $10 million company into a $200 million company in just 6 years. The success was born out of his desire to transform a traditional system of leadership into a servant-led organization. Prior to joining Datron in 1997, he spent 8 years with the Disney Corporation and more than 25 years at manufacturing companies. He is the founder and CEO of Servant Leadership Institute and a graduate of Tustin High School.
