What an incredible time at the Point Foundation's National Leadership Conference in Washington, DC! It was an honor to engage with so many inspiring scholars and share insights about my career journey and the amazing opportunities at Lord Abbett. We are thrilled to sponsor another scholar through the Steven Esposito Scholarship, established years ago in memory of our valued colleague. Lord, Abbett & Co.
