An Evening with Bjarne P. Tellmann in Dublin

Monday, 18 February @ 6.30 PM | Venue: The beautiful Merrion Hotel

Sponsor: Hunter Savage

Good evening,

On 18 February, we will be kicking off our series of Talks for 2019 with a phenomenal guest speaker.

I am delighted to announce that Bjarne P. Tellmann will be joining us from New York for a fireside chat about his personal career journey, leadership, lessons learned and his highly acclaimed book “Building an Outstanding Legal Team: Battle-Tested Strategies from a General Counsel”.

In 2015, Bjarne was our terrific guest speaker at the New York chapter of the Lawyers’ BD Club. As one of our guests commented “Bjarne is completely inspirational – clearly incredibly intelligent, thoughtful, passionate and driven, yet with a humble approach to his success which was very compelling and thought provoking.“

Our event next month will be sponsored by Hunter Savage, one of Ireland’s leading recruitment firms, in the beautiful Merrion Hotel. It promises to be a very informative, entertaining and enjoyable evening.

If you would like to receive an invitation, please feel free to email me. It would be great to see you then and catch up. Places will be offered on a first-come first-served basis.

Have a great evening,

-Colin
