- Extensive leadership experience - personally recruited and led almost 20 core volunteers to put on one of Bryant's best Elevator Pitch Competitions yet, or so I was told it was... :) We hosted guests such as the assistant to the Queen Noor of Jordan, President of Heineken USA, founder of Omnipoint (now T-Mobile), Alan Hassenfeld (former long-time CEO and driver behind the success of Hasbro, world's largest toy distributor), as well as entrepreneurs who traveled here from as far away as California, Kentucky, New York and New Jersey.
My Goals
My long term objective in life is to educate the world's entrepreneurs on how they can empower themselves by creating their own venture and being a catalyst for change.

we are looking into some software ideas right now. I see us going that route in the coming year. Trying to make marketing results more tangible. I like your idea, there's big money in speaking. Let me know how it progresses, we can build your website and drive a lot of traffic to it :-)

Lauren, if you haven't heard it enough already, great work with Zander. I bet you didn't know you were in for that!

Also, its Oct22, time for you to get on the network! We need the L.A.F.

Hey Lauren, 2 things--you may want to create an event invitation with a link to your eventbrite registration for e-pitch.

Second, you should definitely leave some information about the amazing event in the CEO news section of the forum. Maybe a video of Zander's talk?

Hey Lauren,

I just wanted to let you know that when I registered for the epitch yesterday, a couple of hours later I received an order for product from a Bryant alum who is also attending--the beauty of leaving my site link...!
