"Stubborn," "straightforward" and "commanding," Burd earned the nickname "Mr. Fix It" in the 80s when – as a management consultant working with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co .– he helped grocery chain CEOs turn their companies around. He was named President of Safeway in 1992 when KKR acquired the Company. Today, escalating health care costs are what keeps Burd awake at night and he's working to build coalitions of business leaders to find a solution. A sportsman and fitness buff, Burd runs, skis, golfs and enjoys "virtually any sport."
