Quaranto, Jr., '11G, Chairman, CEO, and President of Boston Mutual, has committed company representatives to guest speaking sessions with Anna Maria's Global Business Club. Quaranto will personally lead two of the sessions, which will provide students with industry knowledge directly from an executive leader.
