Thought Leadership Series: Think Differently

You can’t start the very first public hedge fund and recruit a who’s who of industry titans to serve on its board – all by the age of 27 – without thinking differently. You cannot build a successful career in business by routinely buying under-valued companies and then extracting previously untapped value and income – building a Fortune 200 company – without seeing the world in a unique way. And you would be highly unlikely to survive different lawsuits by Frank Sinatra and the federal government, to say nothing of unrelenting attacks both by the SEC and by an endless procession of extreme environmentalists – without possessing an uncommon ability to assess and solve problems. And yet, that is precisely what Charles Hurwitz has done throughout his 50+ year career in business. During this time, he has conceived of – and executed on – some of the most complicated and controversial transactions.

Please join us for a discussion with Dean Rodriguez and Charles Hurwitz on Tuesday, September 27, 2022, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Rice University, McNair Hall, Shell Auditorium.
