Leading Through Change

In today’s hyper-competitive landscape, long-term success requires more than keeping pace, it demands the courage to reinvent, even when your legacy runs deep. How does a nearly 150-year-old company continuously evolve to meet the demands of a fast-moving world? Join Pascal Desroches, CFO of AT&T, for a moderated discussion with Dean Rodriguez.  Mr. Desroches has been at the forefront of the company’s most pivotal transitions and will share his insights into embracing change and empowering teams to shape the future together.  Through his leadership, AT&T has navigated complex transactions, technology and workforce transformation, and now sets its sights on defining the future of connectivity for another 150 years. 

RBP Thought Leadership events provide a unique opportunity to engage with Rice Business Partners, alumni, and distinguished leaders from across Houston’s business community. Attendees will have the opportunity to share their perspectives, exchange ideas, and foster relationships in a setting designed to encourage meaningful connections. The registration will close at 5 p.m. CT on February 4, 2026.
