Later, Reinemund was asked to give an example of a time when his faith was challenged on the job. Surprisingly, he answered that he never worked for a company where he felt like he had to compromise his beliefs. He advised that students seek out positions in ethical companies that don't put their employees in compromising situations.
Throughout the evening, Reinemund was quick to point out that being a CEO was a fun and rewarding experience. When it came time for the final question of the evening, though, Reinemund harkened back to his earlier words about faith and family. One student asked, "What are you most excited about that God has done through you?" Reinemund said he was most proud of his children and the role he has played in helping them grow up with the right priorities for their lives.
The HBS Christian Fellowship Speaker Series aims to help students discern God's will when making life and career decisions, maintain values and ethics in a competitive work environment, and live out one's faith in the workplace.
