James Abruzzo

JAMES ABRUZZO began his career as a classical pianist. What he learned there shaped everything that followed. He has worked for more than four decades at the center of the world's great cultural institutions, advising orchestras, museums, and ballet companies across Europe and the Americas on leadership, governance, and the decisions that determine whether an institution endures. He was also the founder of the Institute for Ethical Leadership at Rutgers and held graduate faculty positions at Columbia, Bocconi, and the Free University of Berlin. He knows what it costs artists to dedicate a life to something larger than themselves. Fefè is his first novel.
