“We had people from 29 jurisdictions around the world. So I was able
to network with an international audience of experts in their individual
fields—from the airline business, manufacturing, and financial services to
pharmaceutical and IT. If I have an issue in a particular jurisdiction, I can
pick up the phone and relate on a personal level with the many friends
I met in the program. It’s been a fabulous experience.” Brian O’Reilly [Director],
