Rene “Butch” Meily
Butch Meily’s engaging new book, From Manila to Wall Street is a … lifearama, beating any MBA curriculum in learning to be a greater-than-better, visionary, trailblazing business head—also how to communicate about it. Gravitas and style can’t be beat. The Reginald Lewis story beats that of almost any entrepreneur any place, anywhere.
-Ken Fisher, founder, executive chairman and co-chief investment officer of Fisher Investments
“Butch Meily is the quintessential Bud Fox of the movie ‘Wall Street’ a brilliant and ambitious participant in the high stakes game of thé 1980’s. In the process, he lost perspective of what really matters in his life. He finds redemption in serving his people hit by disasters. So his story continues.”
— Loida Nicolas Lewis, Chair of The Reginald F Lewis Foundation and former CEO of TLC Beatrice International
“I worked with Butch Meily and he has captured a moment in time in this thrilling and humorous memoir about his masterful management of Reg Lewis’s profile from the unprecedented leveraged buyout of Beatrice Foods International to Lewis’s untimely death. I was grateful to see it all and recommend this terrific read.”
— Chris Atkins, Former Managing Director, Corporate Practice, Ogilvy Public Relations, Former Vice President, Corporate Communications, Standard & Poor’s, former Managing Director,Public Relations, PricewaterhouseCoopers
