Carlyle Group Co-Founder David Rubenstein on Deal Making, Civics, and Philanthropy

Mon, 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM Grant Thornton
General PublicOther

Description

“Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country” is one of the most memorable lines ever delivered by a public official. For 12-year-old David Rubenstein growing up in 1960s Baltimore, that sentence uttered by President John F. Kennedy struck a chord and became a lifelong mission.

Starting in the mid-1980s amid the leveraged buyouts boom, Rubenstein made his fortune as the co-founder of the Carlyle Group, a private equity firm based in Washington D.C. Today, the Carlyle Group manages over $200 billion in assets for a range of institutional investors. Rubenstein is co-executive chairman of the firm, and in recent years he has taken time to pursue his passions in philanthropy and civics. Rubenstein, 70, is one of the original signers of the Giving Pledge and hosts a popular show bearing his name on Bloomberg TV and PBS.

Rubenstein’s current mission is to educate Americans and Congress about its glorious past.

“We don’t really educate Americans as much about history as we should. We don’t teach history as much as we used to. We don’t teach civics as much as we used to,” he told CBS News recently. Rubenstein is the author of The American Story, which features conversations with some of the country’s renowned historians who have chronicled American figures such as Benjamin Franklin, FDR and more.

David Rubenstein will join the HBS Club of New York a wide-ranging discussion including reflecting on the current economic and political environment. Please join us for this exclusive program.

Books will be available for purchase at $30 per copy.

Please note that no refunds will be issued.
