Virtual Town Hall

On May 26th, John Chambers, founder and CEO of JC2 Ventures, joined the Center for a virtual Town Hall to discuss “Leading Through Crises.”

There are few great leaders in our world today who have had the breadth and depth of business experience as John Chambers, Chairman of Cisco, VC Investor, and author. In his prolific 20+ year career, John has led through 5 Financial, 5 Health Care, and 5 Supply Chain Crises.

John is well-known and appreciated for his commitment to mentorship to innovators worldwide.
