Lisa Price is an entrepreneur that was particularly interesting to highlight, not just because of her humble start, turning $100.00 into a company that signifies that the “American Dream Still Works”, but also for her vision of partnering with power house investors such as entertainer and music executive Jay-Z and actors Will and Jada Pinkett Smith. Her marketing campaigns also feature contemporary history makers like multiple Grammy winner Mary J. Blige and singer and entrepreneur Thalia.
This Power Lunch also has a professional development focus, featuring a host of senior executives from diverse backgrounds in business, arts and sciences and public affairs. Each student attending the lunch will have the opportunity to spend 30-40 minutes in a workshop of their choice, which focuses on the various “soft” skills which are greatly needed to complement the excellent academic curriculum at Baruch.
