“Investors and CEOs consistently tell us that there is too much emphasis on delivering short-term results,” said Nandika Madgavkar, Senior Director, CECP’s Strategic Investor Initiative. “The benefits of achieving short-term results often sacrifice long-term value creation. The CEO Investor Forum is meant to break that cycle and give investors insights into how executives are positioning their companies to manage risks, address ‘megatrends,’ and create value for shareholders and stakeholders over the long-term.”
The morning portion of the day includes the 15th Annual CECP Board of Boards, a closed-door CEO-only case study discussion led by:
- James Rhee, Executive Chairman & CEO, Ashley Stewart
- Oscar Munoz, CEO, United Airlines
- Gerry Anderson, Executive Chairman, DTE Energy
