Dow Chemical CEO Andrew Liveris' Four-Bucket List
NEW YORK ? Still basking in the glow of the social and fundraising success - $1.9 million was collected - of the inaugural banquet of The Hellenic Initiative, of which he is Chairman of its Executive Committee, Andrew Liveris, the President, Chairman and CEO of the Dow Chemical Company invited The National Herald to its New York offices for an exclusive interview.
?Last night was great. I think the energy in the room was contagious,? Liveris said, adding that special guest, Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras said ?he would like the energy to be a catalyst,? a word that pleased the ebullient yet down-to-earth chemical company boss.
He said he could also ?see a little emotion,? in the room. ?I want to harness the emotion and the passion of the people who love Greece, members of the Diaspora and friends of Greece. All that passion is there ? it just needs to be organized and the event may prove to be a tipping point for the Diaspora,? he said.
