Keynote Address
Jim Piro, president and chief executive officer of Portland General Electric (PGE) will deliver the keynote address at the 2015 EUFMC.

Abrashoff will recount lessons from his turnaround of the USS Benfold, a system of management techniques he calls The Leadership Roadmap, and detail his results-oriented approach that can equip organizations with the strategies, tactics and tools necessary to unleash innovation, lead significant change and increase operational performance.
