George Chamoun, CEO of ACV Auctions, built one of Western New York's biggest tech success stories right here, not in Silicon Valley. Chamoun took on a market that had run the same way for decades, bringing transparency and technology to wholesale auto auctions and growing the company from a Buffalo startup into a publicly traded industry leader.

In this conversation, he shares why he bet on Buffalo, how he earned trust with skeptical customers, and what it takes to lead people through real resistance. Join us for a grounded look at innovative leadership and what it takes to move an industry that's used to standing still.

At the end of your career, nobody remembers the quarterly numbers you hit.

They remember the leader who took a chance on them. Who stayed late to help them work through a problem. Who asked 'what do you need from me?' instead of 'why isn't this done yet?'

Coaching is how great leaders leave a legacy that outlasts any job title. Join the Leadership Coaching Certification to lead in a way that matters.

Join Daniela Goya-Tocchetto, Assistant Professor of Organization and Human Resources at the University at Buffalo School of Management, as she discusses how merit is not always as objective or straightforward as it seems.

Leaders often rely on ideas of “merit” to evaluate talent, performance, and leadership, but what counts as merit can vary by context. This talk explores how background and opportunity shape achievement and how leaders can make talent evaluation more equitable.
