The Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University will host a guest workshop by Raymond Infarinato, leadership development consultant for IBM’s corporate integrated services team, on Feb. 6.

Sponsored by the Whitman Consulting Club and the Whitman Graduate Programs Office, the workshop is open to all SU students, staff and faculty.

The highly participatory workshop will help participants recognize and practice the skills employed by consultants that are valuable in any work environment. A key focus of the workshop will be team working styles.

With a background in the broadcast television industry (CBS, FOX, SONY Tri-Star), Infarinato has worked in finance, operations and production. He holds an M.B.A. from the Simon School of Business at the University of Rochester.
