Later in the day, the team gathered for lunch and heard from a panel of speakers, including Key Account Executive at Google, Gary Florindo P'29, Vice President of Transformation at State Street, Henry Pychon '07, Regional Sales Manager at New England Medical Solutions, Ken Leahy '00 and Vice President at Copley Equity Partners, Matt DiFrancesco '12.
The networking continued at 100 Legends Way, where the team met with Rich Gotham '86, President of the Boston Celtics. Joining Gotham was Ted Dalton '19P, Patrick Lynch '00 and Matt Murphy '21.
The day concluded with visits to MFS Investment Management, hosted by Steve Kelly '93 and Harvard Management Company, hosted by Frank Cicero '10.
