From Manila to Wall Street

""Butch Meily is the quintessential Bud Fox of the movie Wall Street, a brilliant and ambitious participant in the high-stakes game of the 1980s. In the process, he lost perspective of what really matters in his life. He finds redemption in serving his people hit by disasters. And so, his story continues."" -Loida Nicolas Lewis, chairman of The Reginald F. Lewis Foundation and former CEO of TLC Beatrice International ""Butch Meily's engaging new book, From Manila to Wall Street is a lifearama, surpassing 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 ""From Manila To Wall Street is an up-by-the bootstraps saga of a Black billion-dollar deal-maker and his Filipino public relations advisor. Meily's memoir offers a fascinating perspective on how to succeed in business despite obstacles everywhere, and revisits how hard the best of the best had to work to overcome those barriers."" -Bob Seltzer, former CEO of Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide ""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
