What's the most successful company founded by someone who went to LSU?

Say the benchmark is Turner Industries. What's bigger?

Lod Cook has to be up there. He was co-chair of Global Crossing which laid most of the fiber optic cable across the Atlantic. Also served on the board of Lockheed Martin.

Yes, went to UGA where zaxbys is based. Sometimes you don’t have to create the idea, just find something you think you can do better.
And kudos to Todd for never selling. I’d likely have jumped at the first big offer. Dude held out and now worth billions.

Craig Silvey co-founded Canes while still a student at LSU, so Canes would be the correct answer.
Todd worked at Guthrie's, not Zaxby's, in Athens while a student at Georgia and learned the chicken finger game.
