DUBLIN, Calif., July 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- TriNet, a leading
provider of comprehensive human resources for small and medium-size
businesses (SMBs), today announced the addition of Dr. Lawrence H. Summers, American economist and
President Emeritus, and the Charles W. Eliot University Professor
at Harvard University, to its roster of
thought leaders and influencers at the 2nd annual,
award-winning, TriNet PeopleForce 2021. The four-day conference
will be held in-person from The Times Center in New York City (built by renowned architect
Renzo Piano) and virtually from
anywhere. The event kicks off on September
13 with an impressive roster of distinguished speakers
sharing timely and insightful content vital to business success and
the future of work.
Dr. Summers served as the 71st Secretary of the Treasury under
President Bill Clinton, Director of
the White House National Economic Council under President
Barack Obama, President Emeritus of
Harvard University, and chief economist
of the World Bank.
In his live session on September
13 at 11:15 a.m. EST, Dr.
Summers will discuss:
- How SMBs can thrive in the current U.S. economy
- Trends in business, trade and technology
- The economic impact of the pandemic
- The impact of supply chain shortages on SMBs
"We are thrilled and honored to have Dr. Summers join us at
TriNet PeopleForce 2021," said TriNet Senior Vice President, Chief
Marketing Officer and Chief Communications Officer Michael Mendenhall. "We have seen an incredibly
volatile market this past year, mainly due to the pandemic, and
this will be an outstanding opportunity to hear from the 71st
Secretary of the Treasury—who is a highly respected and leading
American economist—on how to pivot and adjust to the changing
business environment. His wealth of knowledge and expertise will be
incredibly helpful for SMB leaders as they start ramping up their
business for the post-pandemic world, and prepare for the remainder
of 2021 and beyond."
Dr. Summers' tenure at the U.S. Treasury coincided with the
longest period of sustained economic growth in U.S. history.
Impressively, he is the only U.S. Treasury Secretary in the last
half century to have left office with the national budget in
surplus. As one of President Obama's chief economic advisors, his
thinking helped shape the U.S. response to the 2008 financial
crisis. He helped craft the U.S. response to international
financial crises in Mexico,
Brazil, Russia, Japan
and emerging markets in Asia.
Dr. Summers served as the President of Harvard University for five years, where he focused
on equality of opportunity and removing all financial obligation
from students with family incomes below $60,000 a year.
Currently, Dr. Summers is the President Emeritus and the Charles
W. Eliot University Professor at Harvard
University. He is a contributor to Bloomberg's Wall Street
Week and a contributing columnist to The Washington Post. He is an
advisor to businesses and investors, and serves on the boards of
Square, States Title/Doma and SkillSoft Corporation. He also
consults with or advises a range of companies in the finance and
technology sector.
Dr. Summers was the first social scientist to receive the
National Science Foundation's Alan
Waterman Award for scientific achievement and, in 1993, he
was awarded the John Bates Clark Medal, given to the most
outstanding economist under 40 in the
United States. He was elected to the National Academy of
Sciences in 2002, and has published several books and more than 150
papers in scholarly journals.
