CSuite Focus? What’s That About?

Please reach us at john@peoplemedia.la if you cannot find an answer to your question.

The answer is probably NO — you must be a CFO, CEO, CLO or other c-suite executive to attend one of our just twice a year gatherings.

The Cream of the Local C Suite Crop will gather at UBS’ Ryan Bristol’s beautiful home overlooking Boney Mountain in the Dos Vientos Section of Thousand Oaks on Weds May 29 for a one-on-one discussion with CNBC’s Jane Wells and Mission Produce CEO Steve Barnard, one of the world’s leading marketers of avocados.

This match-up has taken years to harvest, after we first planted the seed of this idea with these two locally-grown rock stars. If there’s a C in your title you’ll want to join us for the food and drinks, stay for the stories.

And we won’t just be talkin guacamole. Chef Ryan Rondeno brings his New Orleans/Cajun inspired cuisine (now from Woodland Hills), while mixologist to the stars Eddie Grigorian mixes up a signature cocktail you’ll have to drink to believe.
