The University of Tulsa’s Collins College of Business inducted three new members into its Hall of Fame on Oct. 30 during a special ceremony at the Mayo Hotel in downtown Tulsa. Inductees are outstanding Tulsa business leaders who shape and strengthen the university, community and economy through widespread contributions.
This year, the Hall of Fame inductees are Chet Cadieux III (B.S.B.A. ’89), Marc Maun (B.S.B.A. ’80) and Emmit McHenry.
Chester “Chet” Cadieux III began his full-time career with QuikTrip in 1989 on the graveyard shift. Rising through the ranks, he went on to serve as real estate manager and vice president/ sales. He was named president/CEO in 2002 and chairman in 2006. The company, founded by his father, has annual sales of more than $20 billion and is listed by Forbes as the 34th largest privately held company in the United States. Currently, Cadieux is the chairman and CEO of QuikTrip and, in August, celebrated his 41st year with the company.
Marc Maun began his 40-year BOK Financial career in 1985. In 2006, he moved to Kansas City as CEO of Bank of Kansas City (now known as BOK Financial) as a start-up bank. Under his leadership, the Kansas City bank grew to more than $440 million in total assets and 130 employees by 2012. Maun served for two years as the CEO of Bank of Oklahoma, Oklahoma City, beginning in 2013. Today, he is executive vice president with responsibility for regional banks in Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico and Oklahoma, as well as corporate-wide treasury services.
Emmit McHenry started his career as an IBM systems engineer, progressing through leadership roles in corporate America until 1979, when he co-founded Network Solutions, the company responsible for developing and commercializing the internet domain name registration system, a cornerstone of the modern internet.
