Rhett Power
Co-Founder &
President, Wild Creations
Rhett Power is former business development consultant who has worked for more than a decade to help small and medium sized businesses grow. In 2007 he and a business partner took on two ambitious goals that have been fully realized: first, to take a small one product company and make it into a globally recognized toy company and second, too become cutting edge leaders in a rapidly changing retail environment.
Power co-founded Wild Creations in 2007 and quickly built the start up into the 2010 Fastest Growing Company in South Carolina. Wild Creations was awarded a Blue Ribbon Top 75 US Company by the US Chamber of Commerce and named as one of Inc. Magazine’s 500 Fastest Growing US Companies two years in a row. They have also won over 40 national awards for their innovative toys. He has been twice named a finalist for Ernst and Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year award. He has been featured and quoted on CNN Money, Fortune.com, Bloomberg, the Wall Street Journal and many other national and regional media. Power and company are currently in the final stages of taking Wild Creations public with an IPO scheduled before the end of 2012.
Power is a sought after speaker on entrepreneurship, the toy industry, and making social media work for business. He is also a recognized expert on marketing and media strategies, product development, branding, and market trends.
Power currently has an active role in the Toy Industry Association’s Political Action Committee. He volunteers with Project Amazonas which delivers medical aid along the Amazon River and is working with business partners in the toy industry to create a toy bank for the children’s hospital in Charleston, SC.
Power served in the US Peace Corps in Uzbekistan, is a graduate of the University of South Carolina, is married to Julie McKay who is serving her country as a US Diplomat in Panama, and is father to two brilliant boys Max and Riley. Rhett has travelled to 39 countries and intends to sail around the world.
