CT tourism industry to do more with less (again) BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

he 2018 Connecticut Governor’s Conference on Tourism, held May 9 in Hartford, was “really great,” according to Randy Fiveash, director of the Connecticut Office of Tourism (COT). “We had attendance in the low 400s from the travel and tourism industry from all over the state, including a good-sized contingent from Fairfield County,” Fiveash said. A day later, the state legislature finalized its $20.86 billion budget — which included slashing the COT’s budget from $6.4 million to $4.1 million. “It means we need to focus on the most effective and efficient ways to maximize the reach of our message,” Fiveash said. “We’re evaluating all of our strategies to ensure that we can remain successful, and to work with the money we have in the most effective ways we can.” That Gov. Dannel Malloy used his remarks at the May 9 conference to question whether members of the legislature or the gubernatorial candidates from both parties fully understand the importance of the tourism industry was another sign, Fiveash said, that he’s “been a great tourism supporter and a great tourism governor.” Indeed, Malloy’s own budget proposal included $8.3 million for » TOURISM

CSCU’s Ojakian vows to continue consolidation ﬁght BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

ark Ojakian’s “Students First” plan to consolidate the 12 community colleges in the Connecticut State Colleges

& Universities (CSCU) into one system may be down but — like the CSCU president himself — is evidently far from out. “I was very surprised” by accrediting agency the New England Association of Schools and Colleges’ (NEASC) decision not to implement the plan in late April, Ojakian said. “And I’ve been very vocal in my disappointment.” Ojakian said that, contrary to most news reports, NEASC did not “reject” Students First: “What happened was they received our report and chose not to act upon it.” Whatever the phraseology,

the fact remains that the NEASC did not pass the plan, which Ojakian continues to maintain would save nearly $28 million a year in administrative costs by eliminating some 200 administrative positions and combining curricula for more than 200 degree programs at the 12 community colleges, which include Norwalk Community College and Housatonic Community College in Bridgeport. In a letter to the CSCU announcing its decision, David Angel, chair of the NEASC’s Commission on Institutions of Higher Education, wrote that the plan wasn’t “just a substantive change” but would create an entirely new college system that would require a thorough vetting process, adding that it did not believe the vast changes involved could be accomplished by CSCU’s proposed 2019.

“Because of the magnitude of the proposed changes, the proposed timeline and the limited investment in supporting the changes, the Commission is concerned that the potential for a disorderly environment is too high to approve the proposed Community College of Connecticut as a candidate » CSCU

hen Ingrid Sarver enrolled for her MBA studies at New York University’s Stern School of Business in 2012, she had a semi-epiphany. “I knew I wanted to start my own company, but I did not have the idea yet,” she recalled. Inspiration for her entrepreneurial pursuit came when and where she least expected. “I was at a bachelorette party in Chicago, and late in the evening everyone took off their heels because we were walking around the city,” she continued, adding her aching feet would have benefited from a spare pair of comfy shoes. “And I thought to myself, there has got to be something that would be easy to put in our purse.” The solution, Sarver realized, could be ballet flats that would be easily folded up. And that’s where Sarver’s semi-epiphany became a full-fledged inspiration. “In doing research, I realized that few people make foldable ballet flats,” she explained. “There were very cheap flats that you could buy at Walgreen’s or CVS for $10, and they roll-up more than fold. But they were meant as onetime disposable use. Other side of the market were luxury leather foldable ballet flats that sell at $200 a pair. The middle market was so open and ripe for taking that I said I wanted them for under $40.” After a year of research and planning, Sarver launched Talaria Flats in 2014, with the company named in honor of the gold-winged sandals favored by the Greek god Hermes. She sought a design that incorporated a thick anti-skid rubber sole and a soft interior, capped with a “shoe clutch” that could enable easy carrying. She engaged 10 different Chinese manufacturers for product sampling before settling on a company that could meet her quality standards. “I put in $30,000 of my own money on sampling and inventory costs for the first year, as well as hiring my first employee on a parttime basis,” Sarver said. Talaria Flats had a few growing pains: Sarver’s initial idea to sell her ballet flats in bars proved unworkable, and she had to convert her New York City apartment into a mini-warehouse to accommodate 10,000 pairs of shoes. Also, the Chinese factory that she contract-

They were late on a few orders.” Sarver worked with a Chinabased consultant to straighten out the factory’s lackadaisical approach to scheduling. That input, coupled with a vibrant e-commerce push and a wholesale deal with the Manhattan retailer Kleinfeld Bridal generated $60,000 in sales during Sarver’s first year of business. She has since shifted her company to Stamford, working out of the Serendipity Labs workspace. In focusing her footwear at the bridal planning industry, Sarver

struck digital gold by promoting her products on the Pinterest social media site. “Pinterest is where all of these millennial girls plan their wedding,” she explained. “They have tons of boards of what they want the flowers to look like, the menu, bridesmaid dresses. It’s been great for us.” The initial product line featured white-, champagne-, silver- and gold-colored ballet flats. Talaria Flats also offered discounting on multiple items and customized bags with the names of bridesmaids in the bridal party. “Millennial brides want custom wedding experiences,” Sarver said. “It’s no longer just about the bride, it’s about the guests having a wonderful time.”

Last month, Sarver expanded her product line with Talaria Littles, for girls ages five through 12. Sarver spent a year testing the designs to ensure the ballet flats would not create problems for young feet. “The biggest challenge is that you are working with the development of the child, so you never want to do something that would impede a child’s growth of the foot,” she said. “We use a soft-sole technology that molds with the feet as they walk.” Sarver pledged 10 percent of all Talaria Littles online sales in May to support the programs at The Boys & Girls Club of Stamford. “We’ve been in Fairfield County for over a year and I wanted to give back to the community that was wonderful to me in helping grow the business,” she said. Talaria Flats is on track to generate $250,000 in sales this year, and Sarver is looking to expand her products’ color selection. But one area for expansion where she is not considering expansion is men’s footwear. “I thought about men’s socks, but men don’t find discomfort with what they’re wearing,” she said.

Convexity Scientiﬁc happy to call Fairﬁeld home realized through licensing products and M&A. “We’re not confining ourselves to medical devices,” he stressed. “We see a broad range of opportunities in the health and wellness space.” And the company appears to have the resources to do just that. In early March it announced that it had closed an equity investment in a round led by Connecticut Innovations, Benslie Ltd. and Stonehenge Growth Capital. Kevin Crowley, managing director of investments at Connecticut Innovations, and Jared Talisman, a member of the growth capital team at Stonehenge, are both Convexity directors. Convexity will use the funding to accelerate go-to-market activities with a significant expansion in sales hires and marketing efforts. Daniels said the company currently numbers nine employees. “We’re a small band of brothers,” he said, “but we’re looking to expand.”

“He was very connected to all kinds of pulmonary issues,” Daniels said, “and his daughter was born with an asthmatic condition.” Over what the CEO said were “a few scotches,” they began discussing starting the new company, with the seeds of what would become Flyp already in Finger’s mind. Along with another neighbor, Paul Reiferson, the trio co-founded Convexity,

with Finger as chairman, Reiferson as executive managing director and, in 2017, Daniels as CEO.

Convexity is now rolling it out to consumers at a retail price of $275 — its website lists it at $199 — with plans to expand across the country and, according to Chief Commercial Officer Geoff Matous, eventually overseas.

The company, which recently unveiled its first device — the pocket-size Flyp nebulizer for treatment of pulmonary conditions, including asthma and COPD — planned on being in the town from its 2014 inception, said CEO James Daniels at its 418 Meadow St. office. “We’re within walking distance to the train, which gives us better access to talent north to New Haven and south to New York City,” Daniels said. “That’s a huge plus.” The proximity of life science investors in the area, many of whom are now on

the company’s board, was also a factor, Daniels continued. “The real estate value of where we are is exceptional, and the talent in this area is excellent as well — this is really the optimal place for us to do what we’re doing,” he said. What Convexity is doing is trying to provide patients “with better options” for health care providers and patients “to make it easier to pursue a healthier life,” Daniels said. “And with the Flyp we’re trying to improve the health and well-being of asthmatics and people with other respiratory issues.” Daniels — whose resume includes being president and CEO of High Ridge Brands, the $375 million personal care company in Stamford whose portfolio includes Zest, VO5, and Coast soap — was a Westport neighbor of Dr. Ralph Finger, whose background includes serving as an attending physician at such organizations as Northwell Health and Lenox Hill in New York.

he novelist Chuck Palahniuk once mused, “It’s funny how the beauty of art has so much more to do with the frame than the artwork itself.” Well, more than a few artists might disagree with that remark, but the presentation value of the right frame is at the heart of a new complementary partnership announced between C. Parker Gallery in Greenwich and Rockwell Art & Framing, which has six locations across Fairfield County. In this partnership, C. Parker Gallery’s art advisory services will now include Rockwell’s framing expertise. And the buyer does not have to come into the gallery’s 409 Greenwich Ave. space to make the transaction. “We are a very concierge art service,” said Tiffany Benincasa, principal at C. Parker Gallery, who described her venue’s selection as ranging from decorative and budget minded to investment-grade pieces. “I’m a very customer-focused business that is guided by our clients’ objectives. We have clients who’ve never come into our gallery.” Instead, Benincasa’s clients — who include both private collectors and corporate entities — can have the artwork brought to them via the gallery’s van, where they

can view the pieces before making purchases. Steve Desloge, owner and president of Rockwell, noted that incorporating the framing process into this service was a logical next step. “If you bought the canvas without a frame, Tiffany could provide you with framing for that piece,” Desloge said. “But the customer base in Greenwich deserve and expect a very high level of service. Our companies are very service oriented, so we decided to take our products and services to their front doors and into their living rooms and give them the option to have in-home framing and design.” Benincasa explained the in-home process enables the buyer to determine the best frame to fit the environment where the art will be displayed, as opposed to bringing the work to a store for framing. “Now, they can get to look at it in the home, which is an added-value feature they never had before,” she said. “They were looking at a sterile, artificial environment and now they can see it in the context of their home.” But finding the right frame, Desloge continued, requires a healthy Q&A session with the buyer. “We start with open-ended questions, such as: ‘Tell me about the environment where the art is going to go. Is it a kid’s room, is it a living room, is it a hallway? Is it a formal house? Give us an idea,’” he said. “Those questions are

all answered when you are able to go into the client’s house.” “Steve and I always listen very carefully to our clients and I think we can help discover the art that resonates with them and the right presentation,” Benincasa added. “Not everyone is comfortable in the art world. Everyone has a different relationship with it.” Rockwell’s framing service also includes installation, and Desloge acknowledged that on some occasions he has diplomatically offered advice to buyers on improving the presentation of earlier works in their collection. “If we have thoughts with our clients, we become their trusted advisers,” he said. “There is a strong sense of loyalty. If we find something that we think needs a little change or refinement, it is our job to talk to them about that in a way that allows the opportunity to change in time.” In addition to this new partnership, Benincasa and Desloge are starting a new union at Rockwell’s Ridgefield location, with Benincasa curating new exhibitions at the space. “We have an art gallery and customer framing in Ridgefield, and we are going to transition from providing shows internally to creating a C. Parker Gallery in Ridgefield in our gallery space there,” Desloge said. “This provides some other opportunity to co-brand and co-market.”

for accreditation based on this proposal,” Angel wrote. The CSCU plan now, Ojakian said, is to “assess where we were and decide what should be done in a different manner. Our academic planning was maybe a little too aggressive.” He said he intends to propose “some variation” of Students First to the CSCU Board of Regents in June, with an eye toward submitting a revised proposal to NEASC. “I still think the model makes sense,” Ojakian said, “if we’re really going to be serious about dealing with the new fiscal reality of Connecticut and our reduced funding levels.” One possible path forward is to phase in the changes outlined in Students First over a longer period of time, he said. “There are some things we can do with administrative integration sooner rather than later. I plan to develop a timeline so that I can present some reasonable options to my board. “My goal is still to have one single accredited institution,” he added. Although the General

Fiveash and the department have become used to operating under a yoyoing budget, arguing that any figure is preferable to the $0 it received in 2011 — though $4.1 million is of course a far cry from its most recent high, 2012’s $15 million. In any case, Fiveash said that the state’s tourism industry is thriving. Although its most recent data — stating that tourism contributed $14.7 billion to the state’s bottom line — is from 2015, the COT is in the process of compiling its biennial figures. “We believe the number will go up some, although we can’t say by how much as we haven’t completed the work yet,” Fiveash said. “We know that it’s not going to go down.” He estimated that the hotel occupancy rate in 2017 was up by only about 1

Assembly added $16.2 million to help the system cover fringe benefit costs at community colleges in the fiscal year that begins July 1, uncertainty moving forward still mandates the CSCU act to save itself — thereby helping to serve its students, said Ojakian, who estimates that without consolidation the community colleges face a cumulative $144 million deficit by Fiscal Year 2021. He insisted that Students

First is hardly a unique proposition, pointing to the Lone Star College System in Texas — which consists of a number of campuses with a total enrollment of some 95,000 students — as an example. In the meantime, the NEASC is hardly the only group to question the wisdom behind Students First. The Connecticut State University Faculty Leadership Group — which includes faculty leaders

from the four Connecticut state universities — delivered a statement to the Board of Regents at its May 10 general meeting describing the rejection of Students First as “the latest in a series of failures since Connecticut’s Higher Education governance structure was changed in 2011.” The consolidation plan “was written in haste and in secret by a small cadre of state bureaucrats, with no opportunity for public review,

New England have increased by 25 percent to 2.2 million people since 2012, spending $2.1 billion in the region during that same period. Fiveash said that Aer Lingus, which began offering year-round flights between Bradley International Airport and Dublin Airport in late 2016, has been a particularly valuable partner of the department, developing joint marketing ventures; the airline was also one of the gold sponsors at the May 9 conference. Asked about the potential impact upon Connecticut tourism of the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing state-authorized betting on professional and college sports, Fiveash said he’d prefer to wait to see what the Connecticut legislature does before venturing an opinion. Likewise, he declined to speculate on what impact a casino in Bridgeport could have, though he voiced approval for the

East Windsor casino that has been proposed by Mashantucket Mohegan Connecticut Venture joint venture between the tribes that operate the state’s two existing casinos, Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. “We’re excited about what they’re doing there,” Fiveash said. “We have a great partnership with them.” Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun were platinum sponsors at the May 9 event. As for the potential impact of rising gas prices this summer, Fiveash said it could actually be a net plus for Connecticut, as motorists who might otherwise choose a vacation spot outside the state could end up taking in Nutmeg State attractions instead. He also expressed enthusiasm for “Connecticut Open House Day,” which his department is sponsoring on June 9. The event features free or discounted admission to a number of attractions around the state.

comment or deliberation,” the statement continued. “I believe that we have been very inclusive and communicative,” Ojakian said. He added that he was unimpressed by such criticism, noting that the state universities — including Danbury’s Western Connecticut State — “would not be affected at all by a community college consolidation.” In addition, he said, members of the faculty group “have a long history of

percent, and has essentially remained flat at about 61 percent since 2015. Lodging tax revenue, however, increased from $112.9 million in 2016 to $116 million last year, according to the Department of Revenue Services. “That proves that tourism is a revenue generator, not a debit,” Fiveash declared. “The tourism industry can help to balance the (state) budget as a tax-revenue generator.” Even so, the industry faces some heavy going moving forward. Fiveash said that due to the budget cuts, the department is doing no television advertising at all within the state’s borders, although it is still running ads in the Boston, New York City and New Jersey markets. As part of the Discover New England tourism consortium, of which Fiveash is chairman of the board, Connecticut is able to reap some benefits on a regional basis.

opposition to (CSCU) leaders, not just of the system.” Indeed, one of the Faculty Leadership Council’s complaints was that CSCU has had “a revolving door of presidents — four in less than eight years.” Ojakian has held the post since 2015. The CSCU head also acknowledged that Students First has received some vocal pushback from community college faculty “who don’t want things to change.” There have also been calls for him to resign. On April 30 the Faculty Senate at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain called for Ojakian to step down by an almost unanimous vote. “I’m not resigning,” he declared. “I have the full support of my board and our Student Advisory Committee, which supports me and Students First. I’m a lot tougher than I look.” As if to back up that last point, he added: “I invite everyone with something constructive to offer to the table to contribute to our process. But I don’t have a lot of tolerance for people who are just criticizing from the sidelines.”

Gov. Malloy signs budget – but isn’t happy about it Gov. Dannel Malloy signed into law the bipartisan budget deal passed by the General Assembly — but didn’t seem happy about it in a letter he wrote to legislators. The budget, which will take effect on July 1, falls short of what he had hoped, Malloy wrote. “This new budget adjustment spends $197.2 million more than the original budget for fiscal year 2019,” he wrote. “It restores and expands various health and human service programs, outpacing benefits provided to levels well above those in our neighboring states and resulting in some of the most generous benefits in the nation. Critically, it does so without making the accompanying difficult decisions to reduce spending in other areas of

the budget in order to afford these benefits.” The governor criticized what he saw as the budget’s failure to address potential deficits in the future. “We now face out-year deficits of $1.96 billion in fiscal year 2020, growing nearly $600 million per year thereafter, and we leave the budget reserve fund at $1.16 billion by the end of fiscal year 2019,” Malloy wrote. “This is significantly below what is needed to meet the challenges of the next recession, which, by many measures, is overdue.” Malloy’s own proposed budget would have resulted in out-year deficits of $1.35 billion in 2020, and would have increased by approximately $150 million over the next two fiscal years. — Kevin Zimmerman

EAO NAMES VALENTINO PRESIDENT

EAO, the Swiss manufacturer of switches, keyboards, control elements, and human-machine interface (HMI) control units and systems, has named Jim Valentino as president of EAO Corp., its North American subsidiary based in Shelton. As president, Valentino will strengthen and develop North American sales channels and local HMI system production capabilities. He succeeds Lance Scott, who had served as president since 2008. Most recently, Valentino was senior director of sales for Beyonics Technology, where he was responsible for growing contract manufacturing partners in automotive, medical and a range of industrial markets. His experience also includes director of sales, automation and control of industrial solutions for TE Connectivity and director of sales for Harting. Valentino also served various posts with Amphenol RF, Volex, Winchester Electronics, Tyco Electronics and Nidec Motor Corp. EAO is headquartered in Olten, Switzerland.

TWO SIGN LEASES IN GREENWICH

Connecticut Dermatology Group and Coastal Eye Surgeons have each signed leases at 600 W. Putnam Ave. in Greenwich. Sean McDonnell, a principal at Avison Young and head of the firm’s Healthcare Affinity Group, represented both tenants in the new leases with developer and landlord John Fareri of Fareri Associates LP. Connecticut Dermatology Group, the largest skincare treatment center between New York City and New Haven, signed a long-term lease for over 6,000 square feet, while ophthalmology clinic Coastal Eye Surgeons, which exclusively offers femtosecond laser cataract surgery in Greenwich, leased 4,300 square feet at the

600 W. Putnam in Greenwich

property. “The simultaneous closing of the two leases allowed for the owner to build out both spaces at the same time, permitting better financial terms for the tenants,” said McDonnell. He noted that the area has emerged as a hub for medical services, with Greenwich Hospital and West Med on West Putnam, and Stamford Hospital and Greenwich Surgery Center on nearby Holly Hill. “Working simultaneously with multiple medical tenants in the same area has its benefits,” McDonnell said. “The trick is often timing. This approach offers more options, especially in cases where the owner has a larger block of space that they really don’t want to sub-divide. “With the prospect of multiple deals, the landlord might be willing to hold the space a little longer,” he said. In the case of Connecticut Dermatology Group and Coastal Eye Surgeons, McDonnell said, “Fareri Associates was able to fill all of its available space in one build-out providing savings that resulted in excellent terms for both tenants.”

SHELTON ACQUIRING LAND

The City of Shelton’s Planning and Zoning Commission has approved a deal to buy 6.7 acres on Pearmain Road in White Hills as part of an approval for a three-lot subdivision by Key Development LLC. The three housing lots, each of which will be composed of a maximum of 1 acre, will be created on 3.8 acres of a the 10.5-acre parcel at 69 Pearmain Road at the end of a rural cul-de-sac near Route 110. The remainder of the parcel will become city-owned open space.

Shelton will seek a grant to help pay for the land, but based on a signed contract must buy the parcel by Dec. 1 regardless of whether the grant is received. Key is required to accept a conservation easement to prevent any development on the rear portion of one of the housing lots.

ASK ANDI By Andi Gray

Next gen takeover requires discussions Our parents are getting ready to retire, but I sense they’re not ready to trust that we can take over. There are four of us in the next generation. We have been in the company for a while. One of us is more serious about making something of the business and one of us has mixed feelings about sticking around to see this through. Two seem like they’re coming along for the ride. I get that our parents may have concerns, but at some point we have to move forward with having the next generation take over. How do we get there? THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Figure out what each player wants. Set goals and document an action plan that describes what you and your parents want to accomplish with the company. Have open and frank conversations with your siblings about what each is and is not prepared to commit to. Decide if you need help negotiating details between generations. Meet with each member of the family to find out what they want from the business. For your parents, that will mean a payout for the business they’ll be handing over and assurance that they will actually get paid if they give up control. They also probably want assurance that the next generation is prepared to step up and manage the business properly. You and your siblings need to think about whether or not you can each be passionate about and committed to the jobs you’re taking on within the company. Life is too short to spend time doing a job one hates, so don’t put the obligation on anyone to stick around if they don’t want to. Keep in mind that the business probably cannot afford weak links and no-show employees, especially among the future owner team. Make it clear

Andi Gray

that anyone who stays with the company will have to learn about the business and play a meaningful role. If that is an expectation that doesn’t work for anyone, now’s the time to step away. Set members of the next generation on a pathway to success by ensuring that working in the company is the right thing for them or helping them to move on to what may be right for them if the company is not a best fit. For those who decide to stay, make sure each has a training program and finds a mentor to guide their personal growth and development. Accomplishing goals and checking off “done” items on an action plan can build everyone’s confidence that progress is being made. Use those two key development tools to get both generations looking forward to the future of the business. Make sure that the goals include significant revenue and profit growth over time. While the business has provided a living for many years for your parents, you now have four owner-families to take care of in this generation, plus paying off your parents. That’s going to require much greater profits than were realized under your

parents’ management. If you can’t figure out how to achieve the kind of growth needed to serve the needs of the incoming generation, deal with the problem now. Look at acquisitions. Build a strong sales team. Reduce the number of families depending on the business. Do everything you can now to fix the problem. It can be challenging taking on serious conversations about the future with family members. If you’re not prepared to do it, or you’re not getting anywhere, consider bringing in outside help. Look for experts who have successfully navigated these waters with other families. LOOKING FOR A GOOD BOOK? Try “Next Generation Leaders: Get ting Tomorrow ’s Leaders Ready Today” by Martin O’Neil.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR PEACE WORK

First you must know that I am an ardent Zionist. Everything I will say after this is predicated on the love of the Jewish people and of Israel. So here we go. I believe that most people simply want to live their lives in peace, earning enough money to feed themselves, their wife and their family and perhaps have some money left over for some enjoyment. Being hungry, not having a job is a recipe for problems. I remember in the early ’80s, the United States and more specifically, the New York area was going through a recession. The people who were most affected were the uneducated minorities. They had no financial cushion. As a result of being hungry, they broke into buildings to steal copper wiring and plumbing to get enough money to feed themselves. Not a good situation. This is the plight of many Palestinians. The West Bank has in excess of 35 percent unemployment. What are

they to do? Indeed, some of them are so desperate that they volunteer to be suicide bombers in exchange for $25,000. So my thinking has been evolving. My first thought was to do microfinancing. Help the Palestinians establish a business of their own where they could then employ other people who then would go out and spend money by purchasing all sorts of things. By doing this other businesses would grow, thereby enabling the Palestinian economy to grow. My next thought was similar to the Marshall Plan whereby Israel and/or the United States, etc. would help build/rebuild the Palestinian economy. After all, it worked for Germany and Japan where after the war America came in and helped rebuild their economies where today Germany and Japan are two of America’s closest allies. The Palestinian man I am dealing with, Sam Bahour (look him up) didn’t pick up on this idea. We then began to talk about skills that the Palestinians have, for example, software development, programming, furniture manufacturing, tile and marble textiles, etc. I began to think about ways of marketing skills like this into the United States. After all, for two of our companies, my son Jason used software

development people from Russia. After some conversation, Sam mentioned that there is an accomplished furniture manufacturing business there. I said, great, this is something specific and I felt/feel that I know how to market this in the United States. We are currently getting brochures on what type of furniture they manufacture and what is their capacity to manufacture in quantity. Another conversation that Sam and I had involved water to Janine. Although there are restrictions on drilling wells, there are no restrictions on water conservation, recycling or water purification. Eighty percent of all the water used in cities in Israel is recycled and then used for irrigation. Until recently, the last 10 to 15 years, Israel did not have desalination. All it’s growth was supported by water conservation, etc. This is something that we’re now looking into. It is my hope, my dream and my belief that when people are satisfied with their lives, have water to drink and food to eat they’re not like to want war. There are three levels: WAR, PEACE AND NON-WAR. Certainly I hope and pray for peace but if this brings about nonwar so be it. Bob Friedland Chairman of Westrock Development LLC Harrison

Future of Newtown’s Hunters Ridge development uncertain

eveloper 79 Church Hill Road LLC has withdrawn its application for municipal sanitary sewer service as part of its proposed Hunters Ridge project in Newtown. The firm had sought sewer service for the construction of 175 rental apartments in the latest of its numerous proposals. The developer made the decision after being informed by the town that only 0.75 acres, not the previously assumed 3.8 acres, of the project fall with-

in Newtown’s sewer district. As previously reported, the Hunters Ridge project encompasses some 35 acres. Of the 175 proposed rental units, 53 have been earmarked for affordable housing. The developer has also withdrawn applications for the project from Newtown’s Planning & Zoning and Inland Wetlands Commissions. It did not respond to inquiries as to whether it expects to submit another revised proposal for the Hunters Ridge project. — Kevin Zimmerman

Coriano wants to help make millionaires BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

icholas Coriano is in the business of helping entrepreneurs create business plans. And, he believes he can help make them rich. For Coriano, it is a career that took root during his formative years. “When I was 14 years old, my father bought me a book on how to write business plans,” recalled the 35-year-old Coriano from the Bridgeport office of his company Cervitude Inc. And while that sort of book might not seem like the typical gift for a young teenage boy, Coriano always had an appetite for the corporate world: he was involved in the business club and stock trading club at Notre Dame High School in Fairfield, took part in the entrepreneur club at Housatonic Community College, scored a private wealth manage-

ment internship at Merrill Lynch’s Westport office, and graduated from UConn with a B.S. in finance. Coriano attended Chicago’s John Marshall Law School, but during his studies he came upon something that shifted him away from a legal career. “In my last year of law school, I saw a business consultant who wanted to charge a start-up $10,000 for a business plan,” he said. “I said to myself, ‘That’s a lot of money,’ and I thought there might be a market for me to come in and play with.” While still in law school, Coriano began promoting himself on Craigslist as a business plan creator. “My first client was a furniture company out of Chicago,” he continued. “I started with one client and then I went to two, then I went to three.” Today, Coriano manages Cervitude with six partners based across the U.S. and in India and China. In addition to business plan creation, the company provides con-

sulting services for investor relations, e-commerce and social media marketing, and intellectual property. Using a slogan “from the napkin to the NASDAQ,” Coriano is eager to assist aspiring entrepreneurs tiptoe into their dreams and established businesses score greater market share. “I have clients on all continents that have people,” he said. “I’ve worked with established restaurants to help them open up their second restaurants, franchises that want to expand, public companies that want to expand.” Yet the business plan creation aspect of his operations remains the most satisfying part of his work. “I love being around entrepreneurs,” he admitted. “Every day, I get to speak to a new entrepreneur.” According to Coriano, creating a business plan is not as difficult as it might seem. “It starts with a cover page, table of contents,

executive summary and company description,” he explained. “I do a SWOT analysis after that — SWOT stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats — and go into market research and industry analysis. From there, we have a management and organizational plan, marketing plan, financial projection and the conclusion.” Coriano identified the market research and industry analysis as the most crucial elements in determining a plan’s viability, and he noted those are the areas where many entrepreneurs trip up. “Many of them don’t have the time and the resources to get it done,” he added. “They start, but don’t know where to find the market research. And having the financials makes it easier to do projections.” Keeping in mind the aforementioned consultant with the excessive fees, Coriano stated he strived keep his fee structure low.

“The business planning services varies from $350 to $2,000,” he said. “Generally, you don’t need more than $1,000 for a business plan.” Interestingly, despite seven years in business, he still puts advertisements on Craigslist for prospective clients. “Some people are a little suspicious when they call me, but I keep my references on my website,” he said, adding that his outreach also includes Google and Facebook advertising and networking on entrepreneur websites. Coriano pointed out that one of the challenges of living in Fairfield County — the high cost of living — is inspiring more people to become entrepreneurial and start small side businesses to generate extra income. And Coriano is no stranger to maintaining different endeavors. In addition to Cervitude, he runs several operations under the Hômescape LLC umbrella, including the

FCBJ

numismatics e-commerce site NickyNice.com and the real estate investment entity Hômeskape. Circling back to his teenage inspiration, Coriano authored the 2017 book “Rules for Entrepreneurship” with the goal of inspiring people who are serious about achieving business success. “My future goals are to help a billion people become millionaires,” he said. “And on top of that, help a few thousand millionaires become billionaires and a few hundred billionaires become trillionaires.” However, there was one truly unique wouldbe entrepreneur that Coriano wished he could have helped. “My funniest prospective call was a client who wanted to drop off sheep to yards so they would eat the grass, instead of having people cut their own grass. He never called me back,” he said, with a laugh.

ajor storms sweeping through Connecticut failed to dampen the spirits of those attending the fifth annual Doctors of Distinction event, held May 15 at the Italian Center in Stamford. The awards, to 10 doctors and a future urologist, were presented by Westfair Communications Inc., publisher of the Fairfield County Business Journal, Westchester County Business Journal and WAG magazine.

MAY 21, 2018

Stamford Health; Yale New Haven Health; St. Vincent’s Medical Center; business management consultancy Sandler Training; The Bristal Assisted Living centers; Corporate Audiovisual Services; Val’s Putnam Wine & Liquors; were sponsors and Westmed Medical Group and Americares free clinics were supporters. The evening began with remarks by Paul LaHiff, a member of the board of directors of the ALS Association’s Connecticut chapter. Calling the organization “a great resource” for those like him suffering

FCBJ

from the disease, LaHiff said the association’s support was particularly valuable when he was first diagnosed. His first support group meeting featured the message, “Calm down, you weren’t hit by a bus!” he recalled. Keynote speaker Paul Sethi, an orthopedic surgeon in Greenwich, was stranded in his car by the deluge but managed to make some remarks by phone. Decrying the nation’s opioid crisis — which he said has contributed to the average American’s life expectan-

cy going down for the first time in history — Sethi said that hope is at hand with a refocus on non opioid pain medications, even including the likes of Tylenol and Advil. He then introduced Cutting Edge Award winner Robert Michler of the Montefiore Health System. A Greenwich resident for 25 years, Michler said that it has “truly been a distinct privilege to care for a neighbor.” Michler is also founder and chairman of Greenwich nonprofit Heart Care International, which

has treated more than 1,500 children with heart disease and has performed heart surgery on 1,000plus children and adults. Among those he thanked was his team, which he said was performing a heart transplant and a double-lung transplant at that very moment. Camelia Lawrence, director of breast surgery services at Hartford Healthcare Medical Group in Plainville, presented the Female Trailblazers Awards to a trio of pract it ioner s . Sasanka Jayasuriya, a Greenwich

resident who works at the Yale New Haven Shoreline Medical Center in Guilford, noted that her field of cardiology is still mostly a male domain. Invoking the #MeToo movement, she called for greater support for budding female practitioners before concluding by thanking “all the men who support women appropriately.” Katherine Wehri Takayasu, a Darien resident who works at Stamford Hospital, listed her top five ways to succeed, ranging from having great par» » DOCTORS

Doctors—

ents and siblings (“who kept me in check and beat me up when I was little”), a supportive spouse and her “super high-energy” six-year-old twins, to her nanny and the “inspiring community” in which she works. Patricia Tietjen, vice president of medical affairs at Western Connecticut Health Network, was recognized for, among other achievements, being the first woman to be chairman of medicine at Danbury Hospital and the only woman to hold that same post among the 10 hospitals affiliated with Yale Medical School at the time. Noting that she was wearing a pin she’d made when she was 10 — “my mother was my first business manager,” she quipped — Tietjen also credited her team, noting that many of her colleagues in attendance were working their phones to offer advice and help people affected by the storms outside. Dean Brown, director of business development at The Bristal, handed the Caring For All Award to rheumatologist Sharon Wolfsohn Karp of Shoreline Medical. She noted that the event came just after Mother’s Day and her son’s wedding, indicative of the sometimes difficult task of balancing work with one’s family. Karp also expressed enthusiasm for the development of biologics over the past 30 years. “How fortunate to be practicing at a time when we can really help the lame to walk,” she marveled. Ed Schultek, founder and managing principal at Sandler Training, gave the All in the Family Award to a trio consisting of ophthalmologist Arnold Pearlstone, his daughter Melissa and his daughter-in-law Leslie for their work with Americares. The

MAY 21, 2018

senior Pearlstone noted that he’d begun working with Americares in 2010, following an earlier trip to Jamaica where he found a hospital inhabited in part by dogs, cows and goats. “They tell me I’ve put in 1,000 hours” on behalf of Americares, he said. “That’s okay!” Among those thanked by Melissa Pearlstone was Karen Gottlieb, executive director of Americares Free Clinics, who coincidentally presented the next award, No Land Too Far, to Charles Morgan, chairman of the department of psychiatry at Bridgeport Hospital. Morgan remarked that he grew up about 30 miles from where Pearlstone practiced in Jamaica, and included a pair of aphorisms in his remarks: “Imagination is more important than knowledge” and “To whom much is given, much is expected.” The L i fet i me Achievement Award was given by Nicolas Viner, a urologist at Urological Associates of Bridgeport/ Trumbull, to Frank Scifo. A family practice physician in Bridgeport, Scifo hosted “Health Talk,” a radio call-in show that aired for more over 24 years. He is chairman of St. Vincent’s SWIM Across the Sound cancer charity, which has raised more than $25 million since his involvement began 19 years ago. “Although this is a lifetime achievement award,” Scifo remarked, “I certainly hope this is the beginning of a chapter, as I’m going on. There are a lot of things we need to do!” Miyad Movassaghi, a recent graduate from the Frank H. Netter School of Medicine at Quinnipiac University, was honored with the Promise For The Future Award. He was unable to attend — not due to the weather, but because he was on his honeymoon. His classmate Corey Hassell accepted on his behalf.
