Dave Wagner, "Finding Your Constants in a World of Change"

Thursday, October 17, 2019
Lecture 7-8:30 p.m.
College of Business, Building 76A/101

In February of 2019, Dave Wagner made the boldest move of his three-year tenure as president and CEO of Zix. That’s when he led the Dallas-based email security company to double its size by purchasing AppRiver, creating a juggernaut with the revenue, services, and reseller base to challenge much larger competitors in the security, productivity, and compliance space. With more than 30 years of corporate and technology leadership experience with Raytheon, Nortel, Entrust, and Zix, Wagner is well-versed in managing  companies and his own career through periods of dramatic upheaval and change. Join us for an evening with Dave as he discusses the three macrotrends he believes will shape life and work in the decades ahead – and the commitments all of us should make to position ourselves and our businesses for lasting success. 

Dave Wagner is a graduate of Penn State where he received both his bachelor’s degree in accounting and a master of business administration (MBA) degree. 

Event is free and open to the public. 

Registration is closed for this event.
