The Osher Hamptons Retreat: Where Leadership, Business & Impact Converge
This August, Osher brought together a highly curated group of CEOs, founders, investors, and philanthropists for two days in Bridgehampton for the annual Osher Hamptons Retreat.
The forum was designed around a simple idea: the people building exceptional companies have an equally important opportunity to shape what comes next beyond their businesses.
Over two days, an extraordinary group of leaders came together to exchange ideas, challenge one another, and explore the intersection of business, leadership, Jewish identity, and philanthropy. The result was a setting where conversations moved naturally from company-building and investing to questions of purpose, responsibility, and impact.
The strength of the retreat was the people in the room.
The group included leaders such as Jeff Horing, Co-Founder & Managing Director of Insight Partners; Tracy Britt Cool, Co-Founder of Kanbrick; Michael Granoff, Founder & Managing Partner of Maniv Mobility; Anushka Salinas, CEO of Nanit; Rob Gurzeev, Co-Founder & CEO of CyCognito; and Lauren Salz, Co-Founder & CEO of Sealed, alongside an accomplished group of founders, operators, investors, and philanthropists.
A central part of Osher is the belief that building a successful company is only one part of leadership.
The retreat gave participants the opportunity to think about what comes next: how they can use their experience, relationships, and resources to create impact beyond their businesses and contribute to the Jewish community.
That made for some of the most interesting conversations of the retreat. Business led naturally into philanthropy. Leadership led into questions of responsibility. And conversations between people who had just met often turned into plans to stay connected and work together.
Ultimately, the retreat was about the power of the room.
When accomplished people are willing to share openly and learn from one another, everyone leaves with something they did not walk in with: a new idea, a new perspective, a new relationship, or a new opportunity to make an impact.
That is what Osher is about.
The Hamptons was just the beginning. On to the next.
