"The Apprentice" finalist Kwame Jackson to present "Lessons from the Boardroom" at TCNJ, February 1
EWING, NJ … Kwame Jackson, runner-up on the first season of Donald Trump’s “The Apprentice,” will make a visit to The College of New Jersey on February 1 to speak about his corporate experiences and his experiences on the reality television show. His talk is titled, "Lessons from the Boardroom."
Jackson is polished, confident and credentialed with prestigious Wall Street experience, a University of North Carolina Chapel Hill degree, a Harvard MBA, and business lessons he learned from Donald Trump in front of 22 million people each week, on the hit show “The Apprentice.” His professional experience includes sales and marketing roles at Procter & Gamble and, most recently, on Wall Street as an Investment Manager for Goldman Sachs. It was his no nonsense attitude and ability to be a team leader that made him stand out on "The Apprentice" and it is his affable nature and street smarts that make him stand out in life.
Kwame Jackson is the highest paid and most in-demand speaker amongst those in reality television. He continues to be courted by major television networks, fashion houses, sports teams, marketers, advertisers, community, civic and political leaders for his input and expertise. He regularly addresses executive management teams and aspiring interns at the world's leading companies on various topics such as team building, leadership, surviving and thriving corporate America and the importance of being an entrepreneur. It is his business savvy, passion for excellence and the lessons he has learned in the boardroom that have given him the ability to inspire others to explore, embrace, and execute the keys to success.
Jackson will speak on February 1 at 1PM in room 202 of the Brower Student Center. The event is sponsored by the College’s chapter of the National Association of Black Accountants. Registration is not required; however, seating is very limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
