Me and Donald Trump
Imagine my surprise upon receiving the September 2008 newsletter from Big Speak and seeing that I am profiled on the same page as billionaire Donald Trump. Beyond the fact that we are each registered with this California-based speaker's bureau, I happen to agree with Mr. Trump's familiar bark. To executives who did less than their best work, with dire consequences for all, might it be time to say "You're Fired?"

The times are turbulent, the titans are tumbling and once venerable financial institutions find themselves drowning in debt. As global economic turmoil seems to envelop every facet of our lives, numerous questions about the financial future and investment stability are at the forefront of both corporate and individual concern. BigSpeak represents a number of corporate and personal financial pros that can help you navigate today's (and tomorrow's) stormy seas. Susan M. Mangiero has more than 20 years of experience and is a leading authority in such areas as capital markets, asset-liability management, derivatives and financial risk control. Dr. Mangiero has worked at General Electric Co., PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP and Bank of America.
As a speaker, she has made recent appearances before the Harvard Club, as well as testifying in front of the U.S. Department of Labor about valuation issues (hedge fund, private equity, derivatives, etc…) as pensions, endowments and foundations are allocating hundreds of billions into these investments. Taking into consideration asset allocation, risk management and public policy, among a bevy of related topics, she addresses key questions and potential pitfalls facing finacial professionals in these challenging times. Dr. Mangiero also tackles the fast changing operating environment for investment buyers and sellers alike. Important topics, including portfolio valuation and operational controls have become front and center as fund managers, institutional investors and their service providers deal with new rules and regulations and the continuing fallout of credit-related problems. Dr. Mangiero shares her insights about: regulatory enforcement hot buttons, valuation and risk management litigation trends, best practices for evaluating key risks and managing exposures and institutional investor impact as pensions/endowments/foundations allocate more money to alternatives and complex securities.
