Executive Lunch Series
The purpose of the Executive Lunch Series is for students
to interact with business leaders in an intimate and personable lunch
setting. The series is designed to enhance business conversational skills,
foster personal growth and career opportunities.
The belief is that students who are exposed to business leaders will be
more acculturated or socialized about real world applications, customs
and culture. Hence, this exposure will result in them being more effective
in the business world.

In Lenehan’s book, What You Don’t Know and Your Boss Won’t
Tell You: Advice From Senior Female Executives on What You Need to Succeed,
35 women were interviewed in senior-level positions in a variety of industries
(legal accounting, consulting, banking, etc.) to determine how women move
up the ranks within their respective companies. While the executives polled
were very senior, they all started at the bottom and worked their way
up. Collectively, these executives generously (and often anonymously)
offered their advice and experiences.
Pamela F. Lenehan is president of Ridge Hill Consulting, a strategy consulting firm. In her 30 year business career, she was a managing director in Investment Banking Credit Suisse First Boston; Chief Financial Officer of Convergent Networks; and senior vice president, corporate development and treasurer of Oak Industries, a $500 million NYSE-listed manufacturer. Lenehan started her career at Chase Manhattan Bank lending money to growing technology companies. She is on the board of The Center for Women & Enterprise, a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering women to become economically self-sufficient through entrepreneurship.
