Sachem alum Lori Ann LaRocco, a senior talent producer at CNBC and producer of the show “Squawk Box” recently published a second book.
LaRocco, who graduated from Sachem in 1989, is the author of “Dynasties of the Sea,” the first book to examine one of the most powerful forces in global trade and economic development: world shipping and the magnates who drive the industry.
LaRocco takes a look at how shipowners and their financiers have changed the world in every way.
Profiles include Jim Tisch, Loews Corporation; John Fredriksen, Frontline Ltd.; Angeliki Frangou, Navios Maritime Holdings; Peter Evensen, Teekay Corporation; Philippe Louis-Dreyfus, Louis Dreyfus Armateurs Group; Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., WL Ross & Co.; Dagfinn Lunde, DVB Bank; Morten Arntzen, Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. and more.
The candid and detailed first-person profiles that comprise Dynasties of the Sea provide critical insight into the psychology of today’s generation of shipping magnates, from how they view risk – politically, economically and environmentally – to what they see transpiring in the world tomorrow.
LaRocco also wrote “Thriving in the New Economy: Lessons from Today’s Top Business Minds” (Wiley 2010).
