The Power of Leadership
A Fireside Chat with Ravi V. Bellamkonda
Join us for a leadership conversation with Ravi V. Bellamkonda, President of The Ohio State University, as he sits down with Derrick R. Clay, President and CEO of the Columbus Chamber of Commerce.
In this fireside chat, Derrick and President Bellamkonda will explore what it means to lead at scale – guiding one of the nation’s largest and most influential institutions. The conversation will focus on how leaders make decisions, align people, and lead organizations with clarity and purpose.
Designed for business and community leaders across the Columbus Region, this discussion will also highlight the connection between higher education and the business community – from talent development to innovation to long-term economic growth.
Attendees will leave with practical leadership insights, a stronger understanding of how institutions like Ohio State contribute to the region’s success, and a clearer view of the role leadership plays in driving prosperity and growth.
