Private lunch with Richard Lukaj

A private lunch with Richard Lukaj, in a private room at Rockefeller Center.

Lukaj started at Bear Stearns and co-founded the investment bank Bank Street Group. The more surprising line on his résumé is the university: he co-founded and chaired the American University in Kosovo. He also serves as Albania's Honorary Consul to the United States.

An hour across the table with someone who has built both a bank and a university is hard to arrange any other way. Come with questions. (One Albanian footnote to the setting: among the chefs at Rockefeller Center is Fejsal Demiraj — Noma-trained, grandson of a man who fled Hoxha for New York.)
