CNBC Executive Leadership Awards 2008

Date March 31, 2008

Just got back from the CNBC Executive Leadership Awards Dinner that Sue Herrera was kind enough to invite me to.

No, I didn’t receive an awards, but I was honored to be invited to listen to the inspirational speeches by Wilbur Ross, one of the world’s few billionaires, Bradbury Anderson, the CEO of Best Buy and Robert L. Johnson, the Founder of BET. Oh how I wish Steve Jobs could make it to accept his Leader in Innovation award.

The usual CNBC celebrities were there, including Jim Cramer, Larry Kudlow, Maria Bartiromo, Erin Burnett and Betty Quick. It was also a nice surprise to see Suze Orman. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to snap any photos with them. Here are the few pics that I was able to take from the event:
