Enjoy an evening with our distinguished leader Mr. Stephen Milligan, president of Western Digital (previously CEO of Hitachi GST). Hear how Steve rose through the ranks at PwC, Dell and Hitachi GST.

At this event, you will get to know Mr. Milligan - from his upbringing, career moves, and business philosophy, to how he approached his transformation from “managerial roles – about him” to “leadership roles – about them.” Specifically you will learn how he addressed the Hitachi GST challenge, successfully building it into a $6B market leader prior to its acquisition by Western Digital in March of this year.
