Famous Entrepreneurs Series kicks off today with co-founder of Facebook


What do world famous CEOs such as Carly Fiorina of Hewlett-Packard, Richard Teerlink of Harley-Davidson, Jon Luther of Dunkin Brands, Anne Mulcahy of Xerox and David Barger of Jet Blue -- and innovative entrepreneurs and authors such as C.K. Prahalad, author of "Competing for the Future," Michael Treacy, author of "The Discipline of Market Leaders," and Rod Beckstrom, author of "The Starfish and the Spider" -- have in common?  They have all been part of Syracuse's Famous Entrepreneurs Series.

This year's series kicks off today with Chris Hughes, Facebook Co-founder and "My.BarackObama.com" Founder.

Launched in 2006, The Famous Entrepreneurs Series (FES) creates a forum for entrepreneurs to learn from strategically creative thinkers.  A membership-based organization, FES offers its members exclusive access to some of the world’s most admired CEOs and management thought-leaders.
