Christine Specht
Four prominent southeastern Wisconsin business leaders: Cousins Subs chief executive officer Christine Specht, Milwaukee Repertory Theater executive director Chad Bauman, GMR Marketing chief legal officer and general counsel DeVona Wright Cottrell and Breakthrough Strategies owner Jerry Jendusa, will participate in a free-wheeling, candid and insightful conversation during the ‘Cocktails & Conversations’ program that will wrap up to the 2026 edition of BizExpo.

BizExpo is BizTimes Media’s annual daylong networking and business strategy and education event. It is the largest business-to-business event of its kind in southeastern Wisconsin. Click here for more information and to register.

At Cocktails & Conversations, Specht, Bauman, Wright Cottrell and Jendusa, all members of the Wisconsin 275 list of the state’s most influential business leaders, will discuss how they navigate risk, lead under pressure, and turn bold thinking into action.

The discussion will be moderated by Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce president Dale Kooyenga, also a member of the Wisconsin 275.
The Cocktails & Conversations program is available to attend as a standalone event, or is included with the BizExpo All Access Pass, which includes admission to the Lunch ‘n Learn program with Derek Deprey, access to the BizExpo exhibit floor and all business strategy seminars.
