PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
What does the economy actually look like right now — not from headlines, but from the inside? Lee McEntire spends his days as Bank of America’s Head of Investor Relations, translating economic reality for Wall Street, while also overseeing the bank’s presence in nearly 100 local markets nationwide. That combination gives him a rare read on where investor sentiment and on-the-ground activity align — and where they don’t. Join us for a candid discussion with Lee McEntire and compare notes on what you’re seeing in your own businesses against what one of banking’s most connected executives is seeing everywhere else.
