Organizer’s description
Some business stories are scarier than fiction. You’ve heard the success stories. These aren’t those stories. Fraud. Bad decisions. Deals gone wrong. And the moments nobody saw coming. This Halloween season, CBIZ, NOW CFO, and Fisher\SMB are opening the door to the side of business people usually only talk about behind closed doors. Join us at Seattle’s historic Stimson-Green Mansion for real business horror stories, drinks, networking, and a few “there’s no way that actually happened” moments. MEET THE STORYTELLERS Mona VeisehCEO, KinRidge AdvisorsHealthcare & Business Leadership Faye RaschPartner, Wenokur Riordan PLLCBusiness Bankruptcy & Insolvency Colin FekkesCFO & CCO, Pike Street CapitalPrivate Equity & Finance Wendi Dillard Modarelli, SPHRPrincipal HR Consultant, HRT NorthwestPeople & HR Debby BurnsDirector, NOW CFOAccounting & Financial Operations These are people who have had a front-row seat when business didn’t go according to plan. NOT YOUR TYPICAL PANEL No presentations. No rehearsed talking points. No stuffy panel. We’re putting the stories front and center. One storyteller at a time. One real business nightmare. Then we’ll dig into what happened and open the conversation to the room. They’ll tell you what happened. You get to ask the questions. Come for the stories. Stay for the drinks, the connections, and the details we probably shouldn’t put in writing.
