Business Leadership in Times of Crisis

Jeffrey Immelt, Meg Whitman, and Lloyd Blankfein in Conversation with David Rubenstein
Jeffrey Immelt, Meg Whitman, and Lloyd Blankfein

Join former CEO of General Electric Jeffrey Immelt with Meg Whitman (former CEO of Quibi and eBay) and Lloyd Blankfein (former CEO of Goldman Sachs) for a panel conversation moderated by David Rubenstein on leadership and the American business landscape — and Immelt’s new memoir, Hot Seat: What I Learned Leading a Great American Company.

Immelt, Whitman, and Blankfein have all steered their companies through some of our country’s most tumultuous crises of the last two decades — hear them discuss what they’ve learned from these experiences, what these lessons can teach us about American ingenuity, and how we can navigate our way out of the pandemic toward a more prosperous future.
