THE GLOBAL LEADERS’ INAUGURAL MEETING
A RESOUNDING SUCCESS

GREENWICH, CT, February 5th, 2010 – The inaugural meeting of The Global Leaders, an international networking group designed to facilitate the trade of
ideas, information, and inspirations across the spheres of business,
government, education and philanthropy, was held at the prestigious
Yale Club in New York City on February 9th. The meeting had an
impressive turnout with over 120 key representatives from across the
four spheres attending the event.

Our first speaker, Frederick Frank, was the former Vice Chairman of both Lehman Brothers and Barclay’s Capital, and is the current Vice
Chairman of PJ Solomon and Company. He has provided investment banking
services to companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology
industries, and has been involved in hundreds of financings and mergers

a focus on the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries and the
possibilities they have going forward.

The second speaker was Ambassador Kamal, who served as a professional diplomat in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan
for close to forty years. He continues to be a Senior Fellow of the
United Nations Institute of Training and Research and he is the
Founding President and CEO of the Ambassador’s Club at the United
