In this breakfast discussion, Giordano will share insight into his dual career as he is the President & CEO of Atlantic Trailer Leasing Corporation and the President & CEO of The Philly POPS orchestra, America’s largest standalone pops orchestra. Giordano says, “I like to say I went from the trucking business to show business.” Giordano, who grew up in Cherry Hill, NJ, has led The Philly POPS to unprecedented success in ticket sales, contributed revenue, community engagement and programming.

Supporting the community has always been of importance to Frank. He has served the public through his leadership and personal philanthropy in many iconic Philadelphia-area institutions, including Rowan University, Rutgers, Il Convivio, Inc., Salvation Army New Jersey, and the Philadelphia Business Council for the Consulate General of Italy.
