-- Celebrating its 29th annual graduating class, Fremont College is proud to announce Founder and CEO of Ferrazzi Greenlight Keith Ferrazzi as its 2015 commencement speaker.
“Forging relationships is vital to success,” said Ferrazzi. “It is my hope to be a foundational relationship for Fremont’s graduating class—a source upon which they can go out and create success through relationship-building in the professional realm and then share that process with others.”
Ferazzi is a New York Times best-selling author and World Economic Forum “Global Leader of Tomorrow”. His signature focus is on success through business relationship development and he is known as the world’s foremost expert in the field. He has over two decades of research and experience in relationship building and according to Forbes and Inc. he is one of the most “connected” individuals in the world. Ferrazzi launched his career as the youngest Chief Marketing Officer at Deloitte Consulting, and was also CMO at Starwood Hotels.
“I am excited to have Keith come and speak to our graduating class,” said Fremont College Chancellor Dr. Sabrina Kay. “With how competitive the workforce has become, and the limited number of jobs available in today’s economy, the knowledge Keith has is an invaluable asset all of our graduates should know and understand. The ability to network is vital if they want to build upon their solid educational foundation and ultimately find success in their professional lives.”
Ferrazzi joins a list of prestigious commencement speakers that includes: Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa; Jarl Mohn, President of NPR and Co-Founder of E! Entertainment and MTV; Eric Affeldt, CEO of ClubCorp and #1 on Golf Inc.’s most-powerful people in golf; Shawn Hunter, Former Chivas USA President; Matt Nordgren, Dallas’ Most Eligible reality star; and Dr. Dexanne Clohan, Chief Medical Officer of HealthSouth and the most influential woman in medicine by Health magazine.
