Michael C. Gass, prior to retirement was the President and CEO for United Launch Alliance, a joint venture company between Lockheed Martin and Boeing. In this role, Gass served as the principle strategic leader of the organization and was responsible for all business management and operational performance.

Amy Mansue was recently named CEO of Inspira Health after serving as executive vice-president of RWJ Barnabas Health. Before that, Amy was president and CEO of the Children’s Specialized Hospital for 12 years, during which she led the organization through the various crises of the early 2000’s. Described by ROI-NJ editor Tom Berguon, “Amy represents the best of us. She’s smart, she’s kind, and she’s Jersey.”

Sunita Holzer joined Realogy Holdings Corporation in 2015 when it was comprised of 4 business units, each with their own HR departments. Under her change leadership, Realogy’s separate HR departments merged and functioned as one, attracting, developing and retaining best-in-class employees. During the turbulent decade before her move to Realogy, Sunita worked at GE Capital during 2001 and then at Chubb from 2003 to 2012.

Hoffman explains the objectives of this webinar: “Our panelists will share their experiences leading their companies through the financial uncertainties following 9/11 and how that knowledge helped them through the 2008 financial meltdown. The lessons learned are a great resource to our corporate leadership today.”

In addition, Erraji emphasizes the importance and timeliness of this webinar: “Given the Covid-19 pandemic challenges, it is imperative for us to explore creative and relevant solutions to help organizational leaders facing numerous disruptive issues right now, such as employee care, financial stability, and customer impact, among many others.”
