As part of its American Business Leaders series, the NYFPC organized a trip to Time Warner's New York Corporate headquarters.  There, the group of thirty three journalists representing sixteen countries, met with John Partilla, President of Time Warner's Global Media Group.  Partilla was selected as one of Crain's "Top 40 Under 40" based on his status as one of New York's leading achievers across all industries.  Mr. Partilla's presentation provided much insight on his company's best business practices.  Afterwards, journalists queried the speaker about Time Warner's plans to establish businesses in their respective countries, and heard "just off the presses" company strategy designed to fit increasingly individual preferences for media consumption.  Partilla also granted one-on-one interviews to two European outlets where he further elaborated on the media giant's future plans and goals.
