Supper Club in Durham featuring Jeanie Manibusan and Hao Nguyen
Join us for an intimate dinner hosted by Jeanie Manibusan and Hao Nguyen to bring our community together in North Carolina, Durham.
About our Hosts:
Jeanie Manibusan spent twenty years in the Army, seventeen of them in Special Operations, including embassy assignments across Southeast Asia, understanding how people and adversaries actually make decisions, not just what they say they'll do. Korean and Chamorro by heritage, she was reading rooms and code-switching across cultures long before it became her job. She went on to train other special operators to keep their judgment their own when the stakes were life and death.
She's now developing NeuThink, a decision-architecture framework for high-stakes decision-makers, and runs ThrivEquity Properties, her real estate venture. Two decades in uniform, one throughline: structure beats improvisation.
