Bill Sullivan

Bill Sullivan didn’t intend to find a career in the glass industry after graduation, but his first job turned into a 37-year opportunity to help establish Brin Glass Company as a midwestern leader where he now serves as President, CEO and Chairman of the Board.

Bill believes in caring for employees and delivering exceptional customer service – noted by Brin’s core values: We Show Up; We Bring It; and We Do It Right. His commitment and passion for developing people and growing the company led him to adopt EOS in 2020, changing the operating mindset of the entire company and preparing the leadership across the family of five companies.

Over the past two years, Bill has felt the pressure of changing hiring dynamics across the family companies located throughout Minnesota. The company has evolved from purely recruiting via job board placements and traditional interviewing strategies, to using social media, events and networking to connect with talent.

In addition to leading Brin, Bill is actively involved with the National Glass Association. Outside of work, Bill is an avid sports enthusiast (Wisconsin fan) and enjoys various outdoor activities. He enjoys travelling (and finding fine dining and wine along the way).

Brin Glass Company is the parent of Brin Contract Glazing, Brin Glass Service, Northwestern Glass Fab, Heartland Glass and St. Germain’s Glass.
