Netflix Exec and Ryan Seacrest Productions President Headline Drucker Day
Claremont Graduate University’s Drucker School of Management announced speakers for its annual Drucker Day event, which will take place on November 14, 2015. This year’s Drucker Day features talks with leaders who will share their experiences in training and managing top talent within creative industries.
In a press release Dean Tom Horan said, “We will hear executives across industries share their stories, and discuss how [to] prepare yourself and others to manage the unique challenges of thriving in creative organizations and the broader creative economy.”
This year’s keynote speakers are Eugene Young, Emmy award winning president of Ryan Seacrest Productions, and Tawni Cranz, Chief Talent Officer of Netflix. Young and Cranz are both graduates of the Drucker School’s MBA program. Cranz’s talk will focus on Netflix’s progressive policies including the recent decision to offer employees who are new parents unlimited time for one year after a child’s birth or adoption. Young, whose productions include ‘Keeping up With the Kardashians’ and ‘America’s Got Talent’ will focus on management of talent in a highly competitive television entertainment market.
Other notable speakers include Rebecca Clark (EMBA, ’08), President and CEO of LINC Housing, which provides affordable homes to California residents; Barry Goldstein, (EMBA ’04), who manages deep space projects for the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory; and Sharon Yazowski, head of Levitt Pavilions, the nonprofit organization behind the country’s largest free concert series.
Drucker Day is open to the public, with tickets available for purchase through the event’s website.
