Deloitte & Touche CEO Greg Weaver at Rutgers Business School

The CEO Lecture Series at Rutgers Business School (http://business.rutgers.edu) was started in 2010 as a way of giving students access to leading chief executive officers and the rich insights they have to offer. The event also provides enterprising students with a chance to meet top industry executives and add them to their network.

When Gregory Weaver spoke to a crowd of Rutgers Business School students and professors during the recent CEO Lecture Series, he easily rattled off nearly a dozen things that matter for a successful career.

A graduate of Rutgers Business School's Professional Accounting MBA Program (http://business.rutgers.edu/pamba) who has twice held the title of chief executive officer at Deloitte & Touche LLP., Weaver's advice seemed grounded in the practical wisdom of someone who was drawing straight from experience -- in his case nearly 40 years of it inside the global accounting firm.

Weaver appeared as the ninth executive speaker in the CEO Lecture Series. In the past, Gary Cohen, executive vice president of Becton Dickinson & Co., Keith Banks, president of U.S. Trust, Bank of America Private Wealth Management and Joseph Pieroni, CEO of Daiichi Sankyo, all Rutgers alumni, have spoken at Rutgers Business School as part of the CEO Lecture Series.
