This three-part interactive speaker series kicks off July 14 with AG Lafley and continues through September with Michael Klauber and Michael Saunders.

SARASOTA, Fla. – July 11, 2022 –  AG Lafley, former CEO of Procter & Gamble and Founding CEO of The Bay Park Conservancy, is to speak at Dreamers & Doers, an interactive speaker series hosted by DreamLarge. Dubbed as the greatest networking event of the summer, the series begins this week on Thursday, July 14 at The Bay Park Conservancy. Dreamers & Doers provides a platform for young professionals and business owners to network while learning from the global business leaders living in the Sarasota region.

Under Lafley’s leadership, Procter & Gamble’s sales doubled, profits quadrupled, its market value increased by more than $100 billion, and its portfolio of billion-dollar brands—like Tide, Pampers, Olay, and Gillette—grew from 10 to 24 as a result of his focus on winning strategic choices, consumer-driven innovation, and reliable, sustainable growth. Lafley is the co-author of two best-selling books, The Game Changer on innovation and Playing to Win on strategy, as well as numerous articles on leadership and management for Harvard Business Review. After working for decades in and with large public companies, Lafley has refocused his attention and efforts toward small businesses, startups and nonprofit organizations such as The Bay Park Conservancy, Omeza, FIGS, Tulco and Hamilton College.
