Paul DePodesta
Moneyball: The Art of Winning An Unfair Game
In the Oscar-nominated film Moneyball, Paul DePodesta's unique skill of evaluating and measuring talent was portrayed by actor Jonah Hill. His career in baseball began with the Cleveland Indians, where he spent three seasons before joining the Oakland Athletics as the assistant general manager. In his first year with the A's, he and GM Billy Beane led one of the worst teams in the league to its first winning season in seven years. As a business advisor, DePodesta shares his revolutionary strategy to building a winning baseball team - by overhauling stagnant procedures, rather than just tweaking them - that has proven to be as successful in the boardroom as it is on the ball field.
Event is free and open to the public, but tickets are required. Tickets available at the Main Hall Information Desk. Limit of four (4) tickets per person.
