Charlotte: Bermuda Triangle Theory

Description

The Wharton Club of Charlotte invites you to a presentation that examines the intriguing relationship between Entrepreneurs, Professional Managers and Hymie Negin. A fascinating theory guides Hymie Negin when he plunges into saving failing companies. Hymie has made a career of company turnarounds and restructuring on two continents. Some of these companies were originally managed by entrepreneurs, some by professional managers, all faced down diculties, and many were in danger of disappearing into the nefarious "Bermuda Triangle." Hymie will share some specic experiences, and explain the theory that has guided him through many turnarounds and restructurings, startups and divestitures. This presentation will be of particular interest to Bankers, Private Equity Groups, lawyers, financial advisors to new companies, and entrepreneurs.
