An organizer of its annual media awards dinner, he is recruiting and coaxing celebrities like Barbara Walters to attend or present awards at the spring event. Moving away from politics, I talked to Celso Sanchez the other day. OK, I admit it, I called him, desperate for news to add to the column. He researches Latin American investment opportunities for Paine Webber and he has an M.B.A. from Columbia University, where he met and married his wife, Trish, two years ago. Celso and I were envious that his friends Derrick Searby and Henry Todd both have jobs that enable them to fly around the world.
Henry works for the family import business and visits exotic locales around the girdled earth.
Speaking of globetrotters, Ching Tao is only briefly residing in New York. By May she will have finished her M.B.A. at Columbia and has accepted a job from Goldman Sachs, which will send her to Hong Kong within the year. Having already participated in a Hong Kong exchange program through Columbia last year, she welcomes any inquiries from classmates interested in working in China or Hong Kong.
