Description

Viewed from afar, corporate moguls are seen as lucky and successful. Up close, a strong work ethic, foresight, philanthropy and dedication to family are the characteristics that emerge.

Steeped deeply in those traits, along with street smarts and innate intelligence, Peter Karmanos, Jr. founded Compuware and, in the process, helped revitalize a great American Rust Belt city.

The son of Greek-immigrant owners of a Detroit diner, he had seen his hometown torn apart and suffering. After building a successful technology company, he made what he calls simply "a business decision" to move his suburban headquarters to the core of downtown Detroit.

Along the way, he channeled personal sorrow to benefit countless others by giving significantly to what became the Barbara Ann Karmanos Institute, raised the Stanley Cup in the Carolinas, and became a devoted father to seven sons. What took him from a boyhood job at the cash register in his parents' restaurant to the top tier of metro Detroit leadership? The executive who rarely closed his corporate-office doors opens his life for a rare glimpse at the inner man—beyond board meetings, cufflinks and sports-arena management suites.
