So, it’s important that organizations pay attention to the top talent – not just C-Suite and senior management.
About the Guest: David Sokol has founded 3 companies during his career to date, taken 3 companies public and as Chairman & CEO of MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company; he sold the company to Berkshire Hathaway, where he continued to work his magic until he retired in 2011.
