From Courtside to Capital Strategy and Leadership

A Fireside Chat with Gregg Lukenbill on Sacramento’s Four Pillars of Greatness

Join Financial Executives International (FEI) Sacramento for an exclusive fireside chat with Gregg Lukenbill—the visionary who brought the Sacramento Kings to California’s capital. Gregg will share the remarkable story behind securing Sacramento’s first major league franchise and reveal the Four Pillars of Sacramento’s History that define the city’s identity, resilience, and global relevance.

This conversation blends sports history, civic leadership, and strategic insight—designed specifically for CFOs and senior financial executives interested in how place, heritage, and leadership shape economic opportunity.

Why This Matters for Financial Leaders

Sacramento’s evolution into a major-league city mirrors the strategic decisions CFOs make every day—vision, risk management, stakeholder alignment, and long-term value creation. Gregg’s story offers a rare inside look at a pivotal business decision that reshaped a region.

Learning Objectives

Speaker:

Gregg Lukenbill
Aviation and Construction Consultant
Gregg Lukenbill Consulting

As a teen, Lukenbill became part of his dad’s contracting business, Lukenbill Brothers, owned by his father and his uncle. He obtained his state contractor’s license at the age of 18, bought out his uncle Berkley Lukenbill’s share of the business for $12,000, and the company became Lukenbill & Son.

At various points in his career, Lukenbill has owned dozens of companies, ranging in size from miniscule (just him) to sizable, including Lukenbill Enterprises and Sky King. The latter was named for both the popular TV series of the 1950s and in homage to the Sacramento Kings.
