Alumni Association Event: Life’s Bulldozer Moments: How Adversity Can Lead to Success in Life and Business 10/4
Donato Tramuto, CEO, Healthways, serves on the Dean’s Advisory Board for BUSPH. He will be providing a book discussion on Tuesday, October 4th from 4:00 – 6:00 pm in L109. The title of the book is: Life’s Bulldozer Moments: How Adversity Can Lead to Success in Life and Business.
Donato has a tremendous background in healthcare and leadership, especially in global health. He has established a scholarship that will help support international students.
Donato Tramuto felt bulldozed by life as a child when he lost most of his hearing to an ear infection that left him isolated, bullied and treated as a failure. A succession of tragedies rocked his world again, including the accidental deaths of a much loved brother and sister-in-law and a last minute decision to change his plans to fly out of Logan Airport on 9/11 on the same flight that claimed the lives of his close friends and their young son in the terrorist attack.
In this poignant and penetrating book, Tramuto, a successful health care entrepreneur and global philanthropist, recounts the business and life lessons he learned along the way and shows that adversity can lead to success in life and business. He shows anyone bulldozed by life how to pull themselves out of the rubble, dust themselves off and find meaning and purpose.
