GBTA annonce le général David Petraeus comme conférencier invité à la GBTA Convention 2017

Alexandria, VA (April 11, 2017) – The Global Business Travel Association (GBTA), the voice of the global business travel industry, today announced former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director and General David Petraeus (U.S. Army, Ret.) as a featured speaker at GBTA Convention 2017, July 15 – 19 in Boston. General Petraeus will deliver a short speech, followed by a one-on-one interview at Convention Arena on Monday, July 17. His appearance is made possible by Domo.

“We are very pleased to welcome General David Petraeus to the stage at GBTA Convention 2017,” said Michael W. McCormick, GBTA executive director and COO. “With an impressive track record in myriad high-level roles across the board, David will undoubtedly impart wisdom to our attendees. We are eager to hear of his diverse experiences and how his leadership shaped our country.”

General Petraeus is one of the most prominent U.S. military figures of the post-9/11 era. During his 37-year career in the U.S. Army, he was widely recognized for his leadership of the Surge in Iraq, which retrieved a desperate situation and reduced violence in Iraq by over 85 percent.

After General Petraeus’ retirement from the military, and following confirmation by the Senate by a vote of 94-0, he served as Director of the CIA, during which time the Agency played the central role in a number of important achievements in the global war on terror, established an overarching strategic campaign plan for the Agency, and pursued initiatives to invest additional resources in the Agency’s most important element, its human capital.
