Leonard Lauder in Conversation with Rabbi Peter Rubinstein: The Company I Keep

The Company I Keep

Join Leonard Lauder, Chairman Emeritus and former CEO of The Estée Lauder Companies, for a conversation with Rabbi Peter J. Rubinstein about Mr. Lauder’s extraordinary career and personal story — and his new memoir, The Company I Keep: My Life in Beauty.

Having helped his mother transform the company she formed in 1946 into an iconic global beauty company, Mr. Lauder took the lessons he learned from growing up in New York City during the Great Depression into a remarkable 60-year career and life in philanthropic giving. Hear him and Rabbi Rubinstein discuss his views on the hallmarks of great leadership, how the beauty industry changed postwar America, and much more.
