Vartan Gregorian thinks big. Always has. His new autobiography traces his roots all the way to the Garden of Eden, which he says might have been near Tabriz, the city in northern Iran where he was born 69 years ago. He thought big as an impoverished 15 year old, when he decided to become a "person of learning and consequence", which he did, with help from admirers and his own fierce determination.
He certainly thought big in the 1980s when he was hired to bring the New York Public Library back from the brink of bankruptcy. And he did, again with charm and determination and a conviction that libraries hold the DNA of our civilization. Thinking big with Vartan Gregorian.
Vartan Gregorian will speak at the Boston University School of Management this afternoon, see link below for details.
