HBS President's Breakfast Club with Douglas R. Conant, Food Company Executive Extraordinaire
The HBS Club of Philadelphia invites Harvard Radcliffe Club members to join them at their President's Breakfast Club with Douglas R. Conant, former CEO of Campbell's Soup Company on Friday, February 3rd at the Union League.
Douglas R. Conant, now a New York Times bestselling author, was President and CEO of the Campbell Soup Company from 2001 to 2011. He was the 11th leader in this iconic company’s 141-year history – faced with reversing a precipitous decline in market value. He succeeded by dramatically transforming the global leadership team, reconfiguring the portfolio, cutting costs and making strategic investments in Campbell’s products, marketing programs, innovation pipeline and infrastructure.
The key enabler of this performance improvement was Campbell’s march towards achieving world-class employee engagement levels. During the decade of Doug's leadership, employee engagement went from being among the worst in the Fortune 500 to being consistently among the best. The company was also recognized as a leader in social responsibility and ethical leadership. He has co-authored the New York Times bestselling book, TouchPoints: Creating Powerful Leadership Connections in the Smallest of Moments. Through the generosity of Janney Montgomery Scott, the first thirty sign ups will receive a complimentary copy.
The discussion will take place Friday, February 3, 2012 in the Lincoln Memorial Room at the Union League, which is located at Broad & Sansom Streets in Center City. A light breakfast will be available beginning at 7:30 AM with the discussion starting at 8:00 AM and ending promptly at 9:00 AM.
The cost for the event to Harvard Radcliffe Club members is $30. To receive this rate, register for the event through the HBS Club website as a "Member of Partner Club" by clicking here. (Note: Harvard Radcliffe Club members will need to sign-in to the HBS club website as a non-HBS alumni.)
