Restaurateur Katie Lee to Speak at New York Public Library Event
Entrepreneur Katie Lee will discuss her business journey and the role of personal adversity at the New York Public Library on November 18.
The New York Public Library's Thomas Yoseloff Business Center will host a presentation by restaurateur and entrepreneur Katie Lee on November 18, 2026. The event, titled "The Power of Your Story," will be held in a hybrid format, allowing for both in-person attendance and virtual participation via Zoom.
Lee, who founded the St. Louis-based KATIE'S Pizza & Pasta chain and a national packaged food brand, will share her professional history, focusing on how personal setbacks influenced her business development. Lee noted that her past, including struggles with addiction, serves as the foundation for the business strategies she employs today.
