Pino flew Sikorsky above economic chop

BY ALEXANDER SOULE

U.S. Navy

t was a gutsy call when Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. announced a new mission statement a year after elevating Jeffrey Pino to president: “We pioneer flight solutions that bring people home everywhere ... every time.”

If guaranteeing aircraft will stay aloft is a claim no manufacturer can – or should – make, under Pino Sikorsky lived up to the “pioneer” element harkening back to its namesake founder.

Pino’s run as president of Sikorsky is coming to a sooner-than-expected close, after parent United Technologies Corp. announced it would promote Mick Maurer as Pino’s replacement come July.

Jeff Pino’s Sikorsky legacy could be pegged to any U.S. government decision on whether to buy a newfangled high-speed helicopter.

Hartford-based UTC stated Pino is taking early retirement, without any additional reasons for the 57-year-old’s departure from the post that represents the pinnacle in a lifelong career in the helicopter industry, including his days as U.S. Army test pilot and subsequent 17 years with Textron Inc.’s Bell Helicopter division.

Since 2006, Pino has yet to accept standing and repeated Fairfield County Business Journal requests for an interview, and a spokesman did not schedule one as of press deadline.

Save for Jeff Immelt who took the reins of General Electric Co. in the days before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, no newly minted CEO has found himself in a tougher first few days than Pino, after Sikorsky’s union triggered a six-week strike immediately after his promotion. UTC would dispatch future CEO Louis Chênevert to oversee Sikorsky’s operational recovery under Pino. In late 2006, a Pentagon committee reprimanded Sikorsky for its quality controls in the wake of the strike.

Within a year, however, Sikorsky would nail down what remains UTC’s biggest-ever contract for as many as 800 Black Hawk and Seahawk helicopters as the U.S. military waged desert wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Helicopter production would soar at Sikorsky over the next few years, with the company adding more than 2,000 employees in Stratford and nearby satellite facilities,

boosting total employment to more than 9,400 people.

If Pino inherited a wartime defense manufacturer with a proven workhorse in the Black Hawk, he also inherited a company heading into the darkest economy of the rotorcraft era. With extracting the country from those wars the stated White House aim since 2006, since becoming Sikorsky president Pino has been working to expand the company’s sales to other sectors – most notably foreign governments eyeing the U.S. approach to terrorism and counterinsurgency operations.

‘Anywhere but Connecticut’ UTC’s 2007 acquisition of PZL Mielec in Poland remains the transaction that defines the Pino era at Sikorsky, creating a major new outlet in Europe to produce Black Hawks for international sale.

If providing an immediate release valve for overloaded production in Stratford, PZL Mielec in the long term represents a threat to employment at Sikorsky headquarters if U.S. government and commercial sales go into a tailspin in future years and international sales increase. In 2010, Pino and other UTC executives reiterated an “anywhere but Connecticut” vow for expansion, on grounds the state is too expensive a place to do business.

“As we were tripling, literally, our revenue of the last couple of years, our facilities in Connecticut could not contain that kind of growth,” Pino said at a 2010 conference at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business. “We had a great opportunity to maintain a solid, professional workforce in Connecticut and then move a lot of this needed capacity to lower-cost sources. We found a tremendous opportunity in Poland with a factory that used to build a MiG aircraft fighter a day – a Russian fighter a day – but basically idle.

“The quality of the workmanship is good, the barriers in terms of logistics and licensing are being ameliorated,” Pino said. “We’ll increase the production that is done overseas as we move forward – without a doubt.”

‘What Igor was all about’ If the offshoring of production will be a big permanent part of Pino’s legacy, on his watch Sikorsky also reinvigorated its commitment to high-tech development, creating Sikorsky Innovations as an incubator for new ideas.

When Pino became president, Sikorsky was already pushing hard in 2006 to build its X2 prototype that would set a helicopter speed record in 2010, with stacked, counterrotating main rotors augmented by a rear pusher prop.

Sikorsky extended its high-tech prowess inside the aircraft as well to include

“glass cockpits” with computer instrumentation rather than standard gauges, “fly-bywire” systems eliminating hydraulic controls, remotely controlled aircraft, electric engines and software allowing pilots to configure rotors for specific mission demands, whether for speed, lift or stealth.

And Sikorsky technology was at the center of the United States’ most ballyhooed operation since the invasion of Iraq – the Pakistan raid that resulted in the death of Osama Bin Laden, with subsequent reports speculating on a mysterious Black Hawk configuration that camouflaged the sound of the helicopters’ approach.

Technology also contributed to Sikorsky’s biggest black eye on Pino’s watch – a multibillion-dollar contract to supply Canada with new maritime helicopters, with stubborn bugs in the mission software resulting in delayed shipments and acrimony in Ottawa.

And Canada was the scene of Sikorsky’s greatest disaster in Pino’s years with Sikorsky, after a helicopter carrying 18 people plunged into the ocean off Newfoundland, with only one person surviving the crash. The accident was blamed on a broken stud in the gearbox that resulted in a loss of oil.

As a pilot, Pino knows as well as any the

perils of his chosen profession, with companies such as Sikorsky making their living by pushing against the envelope of physics and engineering, with lives hanging on decisions seemingly as innocuous as the basic bolt used to hold parts together.

Having pushed Sikorsky’s X2 into Pentagon view as a new paradigm for faster helicopters, in 2009 Pino reflected on what may have been his most important role as the caretaker of Igor Sikorsky’s legacy for more than six years.

“I honestly don’t know where or if we’ll take it anywhere else,” Pino told AINtv.com.

“What I do know is that every day we have worked on it, we have learned something else that can be applied throughout the company.

“To keep technology always ahead of us is what Igor was all about in pioneering flight, and we’re going to do the same thing,” Pino said.

Home away from home Council offers agencies free space in Stamford

BY ALEXANDER SOULE

casoule@westfairinc.com

W

ith a new Center for Growth Resources, the Business Council of Fairfield County is handing a key to several groups statewide that work with startups, providing them free office and conference space in Stamford when needed.

“We hope that this becomes a partnership team working together here, each mutually supporting,” said Chris Bruhl, CEO of the Business Council of Fairfield County.

“All activity occurs in a place … If you don’t make the place, if you don’t sell the place, if you don’t invest in the place – it dissipates.”

Bruhl said group members will get together quarterly to look for mutual opportunities, possibly piggybacking on initiatives one of the group’s members might be undertaking in Stamford. In mid-May, the Connecticut Economic Development Fund (CEDF) met in Stamford with a large contingency of businesses to apprise them of funding made available under Gov. Dannel P. Malloy’s jobs bill from late last year, with CEDF’s CEO Donna Wertenbach crediting the Business Council’s assistance.

“Being one of the state agencies that is not local, having the opportunity to have a home base in Stamford is extremely valuable to us,” Wertenbach said. “Most of the time we spend on the street with our … borrowers here, but in between having a place to hang our hat; a phone to use; and the possibility of holding some of our training workshops here is thrilling for us.”

Connecticut is in the process of creating an “innovation ecosystem” of regional networks feeding into a shared parent structure, with the new Stamford Innovation Center an initial focal point and now the Center for

Growth Resources.

“I’d like to think … that we are also going to be able to brand Stamford as ‘the place to be,’ said Laure Aubuchon, Stamford’s head of economic development. “We have lots of money, we have all these services that any startup company would give anything for, in terms of richness of all other kinds of intellectual resources … But now we actually have homes and mentors for them and that’s very, very critical, as we know from any other successful city ecosystem.”

Other participating organizations include the: • Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering; • Connecticut Institute for the 21st Century; • Connecticut Economic Resource Center (CERC); • Connecticut Technology Council; and • Connecticut Innovations and its Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) office.

“One of the blessings of Connecticut is there are a lot of agencies and associations that have resources to help accelerate … and incubate companies,” said Stephen MacKenzie, senior vice president of CERC which runs the SiteFinder commercial real estate listing service. “On the downside is that for a small state, some of those resources are spread out. Any initiative that serves as its primary function to bring those resources, the expertise from the different agencies and firms together in one spot is absolutely a positive step.”

“It kind of cracks me up,” agreed Deb Santy, director of Connecticut’s SBIR office.

“I spent a lot of years in Florida, so to me Connecticut is kind of a small state; but we do seem to have trouble making sure we serve the entire state.”

How do you collar the Hydra?

D

idn’t we just do this?

As the amplitude of JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s trading loss becomes apparent, we are slowly coming to realize that the 850-page document with which U.S. Sen. Chris Dodd collared Wall Street may not ward off these disasters as promised.

It’s like trying to collar the Hydra.

You know it’s bad when we are at the point that we break out into a sweat only when big banks, insurers, hedge funds or whomever stick double digits in between the “$” and “billion” in the loss column. $-x-billion? No sweat.

There is no crime in losing money.

It’s just that it’s starting to feel like the ton of prevention of the past few years didn’t even amount to an ounce of cure. And that should cause us all to break out into a bit of a sweat.

“I think what the government is doing is pretty powerful medicine,” JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said. “I’d say the governments around the world (are administering) pretty powerful medicine and I think you will start to

see some beneficial effect of that.”

Actually, Dimon said that back in October 2008 as the economy spun out of control. Fast track to five weeks ago, just before JPMorgan disclosed the trading loss, and Dimon was mulling the risk-reward of investment portfolios.

“Every bank has a major portfolio – in those portfolios, you make investments that you think are wise, that offset your exposures,” Dimon said. “At the end of the day, that’s our job … To invest that portfolio wisely and intelligently; over a long period of time to earn income and to offset other exposures we have.”

But there’s that nettlesome matter of irrational exuberance that we can never seem to quite cure ourselves of, and which was on full display in May even among the masses. As it turns out, about the only hiccup in the mad rush to the Facebook IPO was the Nasdaq itself – at least until the smartest guys in the room signaled the company perhaps is not quite as valuable as it had

An ounce of prevention If Mike Nichols and Buck Henry were to write a 2012 version of “The Graduate,” they would have to alter only slightly Mr. McGuire’s famed advice to Benjamin Braddock: “I only want to say one word to you.

Just one word …

“Generators.”

The last time we were having this conversation, summer vacation was winding down as Tropical Storm Irene wound up to pound Connecticut with a haymaker, followed by the one-two whammy of the October nor’easter.

Wish you had a generator then, didn’tcha?

So it was with a “didn’t we just do

this?” element of incredulity that we caught wind of Tropical Storm Alberto meandering off the Florida coast, before heading out to sea, nearly two full weeks before the June 1 official start of the Atlantic hurricane season.

For once this spring, Connecticut has caught a break with mild weather and almost no flooding, a welcome respite from the deluges and windstorms of the past few years. Drought got you worried? Nothing that a little rain won’t fix.

That’s a little rain, not a lot – and not a lot of wind. The big question heading into this year’s hurricane season is whether Connecticut’s trees, pos-

sibly weakened by last year’s storms, will adequately withstand a fresh onslaught; and whether Northeast Utilities can cope with any similar repeat performance from Mother Nature.

In April, Weather Services International said cooler temperatures in the North Atlantic should result in an average hurricane season with 11 named storms, 6 hurricanes and 2 intense hurricanes, with a slightly reduced chance of any making landfall compared to previous years.

That’s one down in Alberto, 10 to go.

Metro-North chief: Public support vital for development

T

he Business Journal recently sat down with MTA Metro-North Railroad President Howard R. Permut to discuss the railroad’s impact on economic development in Fairfield and Westchester counties. The following represents a shortened version of the conversation that ensued: Business Journal: How has Metro-North Railroad driven development in Westchester and Fairfield counties?

Permut: “All you have to do is go look at our train stations and you see where the development is. You can go to the Hudson Line and you see Yonkers and where’s the big development? It’s next to the train station.

You go to Tarrytown, it’s next to the train station. In Peekskill, it’s next to the train station...The best example of all is probably New Rochelle, where you have two 60-story apartment buildings right next to the MetroNorth train station.

“From a commercial standpoint, all you have to do is look at Stamford and Greenwich. Where are these companies building? They’re building next to the train stations...By connecting and providing

“There’s no land to build surface parking, so you have to build structured.

Structured parking costs, depending on the site, between $25,000 and $35,000 a space.

It’s very expensive...It doesn’t pay for itself – you don’t make money on parking. So it’s a real challenge.”

the rail lines).

“You either support the transit system and let it create the wealth or you don’t...

You can’t have a situation where people say, ‘I don’t want to pay for it, but I want the benefits.’ It’s not sustainable. It’s that simple.”

With limited funding sources, how does the MTA (and by extension Metro-North) continue to invest in the necessary capital upgrades?

“We do not make a profit. We lose less money than just about any other railroad in the United States, but we don’t make a profit.

But there’s a need to recognize that you need capital investment and you need money to operate this service to create wealth... So you can’t have it both ways. If you want Metro-North to be a creator of wealth and economic development, you need the public money to support it, to both operate it and to rebuild it.

“You either support public transit, since we’re not a real estate developer like MTR Parking is often cited as a major obstacle toS:10”(Mass Transit Railway) in Hong Kong, where new transit oriented developments – why is they own all the land and all the shopping centers and all the apartments (surrounding it consistently an issue?

accessibility between New York City and our territory, we’ve created a huge amount of wealth.”

What are some of the challenges in looking to spur activity around so-called transit oriented developments?

“In any circumstance, change is always hard. There’s always a group who doesn’t want to do anything. We face that in almost anything we try to do.

“We’ve had a couple of places where we’ve worked hard, where we thought there were great opportunities, and the localities didn’t see it that way...The worst case – I will go as far as to say it’s the poster child of what our issues are – is Beacon, New York.

We worked extremely well with that mayor, Mayor (Clara Lou) Gould. For six years we had I don’t know how many public meetings. We had all these routes lined up and there was a change in mayors and in a matter of a week or two, a whole new set of issues got raised.”

Fashion to dye for — From page 1

Five years after Robak launched Une Minette after her studies at New York City’s Fashion Institute of Technology, she is expanding its business platform with the creation of its “Love Your Local Artist” trunk show series.

While the local shopping movement has received much press over the past few years, Robak saw a need to expand this trend to better help designers and artists.

“I wanted to have an event where we could work with a local artist and support the local stores at the same time,” Robak said.

“I didn’t want to do just jewelry,” she was quick to add, since she finds that so many featured artists are jewelers.

Under her Vagabond’s Daughter business, Geaney handcrafts hand-dyed silk scarves and other home goods, fashioned in her backyard using all-natural, plant-based

tops and bookshelves throughout the firm that employs a “bullpen” layout with the offices shared by the partners and the doors open.

The diversified clients have included Pitney Bowes, Saab Aircraft AB, Bear Naked, Butler Hill Group L.L.C., Cranston Print Works, Dinex and Alterman Transport Lines.

Launched in an era when the term mezzanine was more likely to be inferred as a building level than a bank loan, in a quarter century of business Carter Morse & Mathias has kept pace with the bewildering array of sophisticated financing options available to smaller companies today.

Not that every deal has gone as it could have, if hindsight is 20/20 as the saying goes.

“The most bizarre one was that we were about to close a deal on Monday – it was a pet retailer – and Friday night ‘20/20’ runs a special on … puppy mills,” Carter said. “We didn’t have that situation, but it didn’t mat-

dyes. It is not Geaney’s first retail venture – she also runs Dark Horse, which sells handstitched quilts.

Geaney says she derived the name of Vagabond’s Daughter from a poem beloved by her father, who would bring Chinese silk home from his voyages that Geaney as a girl stitched into scarves.

Shibori came to her via a more familiar channel for many.

“I learned shibori, believe it or not, through tutorials on the Internet,” Geaney said, pointing at patterns on an Italian organza silk scarf.

“These are golf balls that have been wrapped with rubber bands. Shibori is a way to create a graphic pattern through resist.”

Geaney enjoys the thrill “when something happens during the dyeing process that is maybe not planned – it just happens but it doesn’t bother me because it just makes each piece more individual.”

Rather than using food dyes like beets, which can fade red to pink over the years,

Geaney uses long-lasting natural resources like lac, logwood, turmeric, chestnut and black walnut.

“Then you can use different things like iron to create splotchy effects, cream of tartar and alum to make the colors shift or be brighter,” she explained to a crowd of onlookers at one of her demonstrations.

“The dip-dyeing just takes a second,” she said. “It’s all of the steps in between – prepping the silk, dying, letting it dry, rinsing it and washing it again and then steam-stetting it to keep it from washing out – that are so timeconsuming.”

Not that a labor of love is any deterrent to an expansion of her business, if in a fashion industry that remains daunting.

“What I want to do is more higher-end pieces and more intricate techniques and stitching so that each piece is really like an art piece, (but) the thought of doing more than this is scary because I know the fashion world is really tough,” she said.

ter. Monday morning I get in and there’s a message from the big buyer saying did you see ‘20/20?’”

After graduating from the University of Rochester, Carter spent a few years working in his father’s trade – women’s lingerie – before joining JPMorgan Chase & Co. in middle-market lending, in the leveraged buyout buildup of the 1980s. He soon made up his mind to strike out on his own.

“There was a whole host of companies that we kept saying ‘no’ to,” Carter recalled. “‘We don’t do that; you’re too small; you’re too green; wrong industry;’ etcetera.

“There was a lot more the banks were doing,” Carter said. “Banks were putting in things like interest rate swaps. That was bold back then. They were just starting to do ‘airballs,’ you know, lending beyond the asset value … Innovation was starting to come into the marketplace. And then you had mezzanine markets just starting to open up, so you had a lot of options. You had customers who didn’t know at all how to go about doing it, and you had a tremendous need.”

Ironically, starting an investment bank

turned out not to be real capital intensive – unless you count the opportunity cost.

“I went 12 months without closing a deal, and basically the life savings that I had – not that it was so much – was down to zero,” Carter said. “It was bad the first year. Don’t forget, October 19th (1987) was only four months away, so that didn’t help.”

Carter’s most interesting deal involved a software company largely selling to one client, a major hurdle to finding any takers. Eventually, an Australian buyer surfaced which saw the business as a way to break into that one huge customer; with Carter, Morse & Mathias’ client diversifying its customer base and expanding overseas.

“So at the end of the day, this company that was worth practically nothing, the owner could make almost $20 million,” Carter said.

“It was something that really couldn’t have happened without a banker like us. You had to be very, very experienced. The private equity guys said, ‘Wow, that’s creative.’ The lawyers in the room said, ‘Wow, that’s creative.’ It was a ‘wow’ type of structure … in a transaction fraught with risk.”

As the case in 2010 when she lost to U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, McMahon will be the standard-bearer for businesses in the statewide elections, given her experience running WWE and two Senate campaigns that have put her in front of hundreds of small businesses across the district and state.

But Obsitnik adds another experienced voice to the debate, though Himes handily beat back a 2010 challenge from businessman Dan Debicella, who subsequently took a job with the Westport hedge fund Bridgewater Associates.

At deadline, Obsitnik had yet to publish

details on his campaign website on how he would spur the economy beyond general statements on entrepreneurship and education.

Himes, by contrast, got a head start on his own talking points after the White House published a detailed summary of its small business initiatives, most of them supported

by Himes.

Those initiatives include: • 18 tax credits to jumpstart hiring, including temporary payroll tax cuts and others under the Small Business Jobs Act; • tax credits available under the Affordable Care Act; • expanded access to capital, including the Small Business Lending Fund; • supporting entrepreneurs via Startup

America and the America Invests Act; and • the National Export Initiative, aiming to double exports by 2014.

In speaking on the House floor in favor of the JOBS Act passed in late March, Himes said the bill might make the difference between Connecticut companies thriving or failing.

“This is a time, of course, when the American people are none too happy with us,” Himes said. “This bill … does something very, very important – which is acknowledge that regulation is always a balance. It’s not always good. It’s not always bad … If done in too ham-handed a fashion, it can compromise the vibrancy that provides so much economic opportunity in this country.”

M&A primed for rebound, survey finds

plete its mammoth, $16.5 billion acquisition of Goodrich Corp., Eaton Corp. reached its own massive deal to buy Cooper Industries for $11.6 billion.

Closer to home, General Electric Co. is spending some $700 million for Industrea Ltd., an Australian maker of mining equipment, also picking up Virginia’s Fairchild International for an undisclosed amount.

And EDGAR Online, long based in Norwalk before relocating to Maryland in 2011, took a $70.5 million offer from R.R. Donnelley Inc. after racking up an accumulated $86 million deficit since its 1995 inception.

Several private equity companies also announced deals, from Blackstone’s $1.9 billion deal for Motel 6, to Greenwich-based Catterton Partners’ divestment of MonoSol L.L.C., a maker of water-soluble films that dissolve to release single doses of dishwasher

and laundry detergents.

“The pipeline is much better,” said Len Tannenbaum, CEO of New York Citybased Fifth Street Finance and a resident of Greenwich, speaking to investors in late April. “A lot of the deal flow is still at the investment bank level, which means my prediction of a yearend, real boom in M&A activity is going to come true as the banks are full and full of deals.”

The Deloitte survey also suggested that corporate boards are playing a more significant role in the M&A process, with boards JOB 9-556 asking for more frequent, detailed updates 7.375 X 7.125 and spending more time deliberating these WCBJ/HUBJ/FCBJ transactions.

“Behind the scenes, our experience with clients reveals that corporate development teams are working harder than ever,” said Chris Ruggieri, M&A services delivery leader

at Deloitte, in they study. “The mandate these days is about doing more with less …

Smaller deals, strategic alliances and smart divestitures appear to be the result.”

Still, Deloitte calculated that first-quarter M&A was down by more than half in the United States compared with a year earlier, quite probably impacted by increased regulations.

Locally, Carter Morse & Mathias managing partner Ramsey Goodrich said the signs are nevertheless pointing toward a more active second half – and unlike the panic following the 2008 market collapse, creating value is the primary determinant.

“You have to add value to the companies,” Goodrich said. “You have to grow the top line, you have to grow the bottom line …

You’ve got to open doors. You’ve got to enter new markets.”

hen it comes to kids, you have some control – underline “some” – and you know they will grow up. Not so with a small business, which is subject to a multitude of external factors, everything from the state of the economy and the state of the credit markets to business sentiment.

Those were the responses of small business owners in Fairfield County to a Bank of America survey that found owners feel running a business is three times as stressful as raising children. Three hundred small business owners were surveyed in the New York metro area, which included Fairfield and Westchester counties. The findings were part of the bank’s small business owner report in which 1,000 businesses were surveyed nationwide. All had annual revenue between $100,000 and $4,999,999 and employed between two and 99 people.

Bill Klein, managing director of Hanseatic Capital Partners L.L.C., investment advisers in Westport, and the father of 18- and 14-year-old boys, said it’s hard to compare the two types of stresses.

“You have more control with kids, but a lot of external factors come into play in running a business. But it’s like eating an apple or playing baseball, they’re so different. You can tell your kids what to do and keep tabs on what they’re doing. You can’t do that with a business.”

Klein said unpredictability is built into running a business.

“You don’t know the external factors that will hit. And it’s hard to determine what is in

the minds of potential customers.”

Klein has had his business for more than five years, with four other partners who were all on Wall Street at one time.

Devon Fleming, an author and lifestyle expert in New Canaan, who works from home with three teenagers – 18, 15, and 13 – said she agrees with the study’s findings.

“With children you know they will grow up … there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.

With a business, it’s incredibly stressful. With the children I know I’m making progress.

With the business I know I will make progress but it’s not a given. The growing pains of a small business are very overwhelming, especially when you throw in a recession.”

She said growing her business and raising money are the two biggest challenges she faces.

“It’s harder to raise money now than before the recession. Local banks want you to deposit an amount equal to what you’re trying to borrow. A banker told me it would be easier for my 18-year-old to get a loan than it would be for me. And I’ve been in business eight years.” She said the banker was trying to make the point that it is often easier for individuals to borrow than it is for small businesses.

Among the survey’s other findings: Maintaining a small business causes their owners twice as much stress as maintaining a healthy relationship with a spouse or partner, and more than four times as much as managing their own personal finances.

In addition, small business owners regularly forgo free time (57 percent), exercise (37 percent) and other important personal priorities in order to manage their businesses.

FAIR ARGUMENT “Of the residents that are in my district that have lost their jobs, some of them actually opened up small liquor stores and were just getting their feet on the ground. A year or two into their business, and they found that they were going to be confronted with an issue that might literally, they felt, take them out.”

Going for the green Bruce Museum gets needed boost from BMW

By Georgette Gouveia

ggouveia@westfairinc.com

“I

t took a village,” Liz Wooster, the Bruce Museum’s director of development, said in describing how the museum landed BMW of Greenwich’s support for its fascinating new show, “The Olympic Games: Art, Culture & Sport.”

Because the interactive, interdisciplinary exhibit, on view through Sept. 2, bears the imprimatur of the United States Olympic Committee, museum officials could seek corporate funding only from USOC sponsors – a challenge, particularly in the current economic climate. Fortunately, one of those USOC sponsors is BMW, and, as it turns out not so surprisingly, many of the museum’s trustees drive BMWs. “They were crucial to getting BMW’s support,” Wooster says.

For BMW, it was a pairing akin to Michael Phelps and gold medals.

“We felt that this was a natural partnership, because BMW is the Official Mobility Partner of the Olympics,” says Joseph Solano, center operator/general manager of BMW of Greenwich.

Such a natural pairing that the car company has put one of its vehicles on display outside the museum.

The BMW nod is a big deal for a number of reasons. For one, Wooster says, it’s the first time the museum has had support from an automotive company. For another, “it’s always been hard to break into corporate sponsorship,” she adds, noting that funds from Lexus Nexus and MasterCard in the past were exceptions that prove the rule.

And after the market tanked in 2008, “It’s been a big drop,” she says. “We were seeing $75,000 (per sponsor per exhibit). Now we’re happy with $25,000.”

That has come mostly from banks and private wealth management companies such as First Republic, U.S. Trust, Bank of America, Northern Trust, UBS and JP Morgan Chase.

Wall Street’s role in the recession that just won’t quit us and the public’s jaundiced response to it have meant that corporations

don’t necessarily want to appear to be frittering away money on the arts. But here Wooster, who is fighting an uphill battle in fundraising for a nonprofit, becomes her most impassioned.

“I think people don’t understand what we do. I think they think it’s just some art on the walls. They don’t realize that we support the educational process. That’s how we teach, and in teaching we make a difference in people’s lives. We are a different way of learning.”

“The Olympic Games” – which should continue the upward trend (a 52 percent increase) in Bruce attendance – is one example. For the art lover, the exhibit contains some prestigious loans, including a 19th century plaster cast of the ancient “Diskobolos” from the Slater Memorial Museum in Norwich; an ancient Greek amphora depicting athletic pursuits from The Metropolitan Museum of Art; and Giovanni Battista Cipriani’s 18th-century oil painting “The Education of Achilles” from the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The history lover will get a thorough grounding in the ancient and modern games while thrilling to such highlights as track and field star Jesse Owens stunning the Nazis at the 1936 Berlin games and Cassius Clay’s (Muhammad Ali’s) goldmedal bout at the 1960 Rome games. Junior science lovers will have an opportunity to feel the surprising lightness of a javelin and the unsurprising heaviness of a discus, while also learning about the relationship of body type to sports.

The exhibit is just the tip of the educational iceberg. It’s supported by a host of programs and events.

Wooster wants to get the word out about this and one thing more: The Bruce Museum visitor – highly affluent and educated – is also the target customer of many businesses.

BMW of Greenwich has gotten the message.

“I can’t speak on other corporations, but here at BMW of Greenwich we see an increase in our sales and we feel confident that this partnership is the right thing to do,” Solano said.

individuals, Connecticut’s commissioners of labor and social services are relying on the United Way’s 211 service (www.211ct. org) to steer people to existing programs at workforce investment boards in Bridgeport, Danbury and elsewhere.

Statewide, more than 3,300 people saw their benefits cut off April 21, and more than 9,600 followed May 12.

In the report, the commissioners raise the possibility of expanding the Platform 2 Employment (P2E) program pioneered by the Bridgeport-based WorkPlace Inc. for people who have exhausted their employment benefits, which received national exposure earlier this year on “60 Minutes.” Under the P2E program, employers get subsidies to hire people for eight-week “try-before-youbuy” stints in hopes the workers will impress enough to win permanent jobs.

Survey says, pessimism A new survey suggests increased pessimism among Connecticut businesses with hiring expectations still meager though improved.

The Connecticut Business & Industry Association said 41 percent of businesspeople surveyed expect an improved performance at their company over the next three months, compared with 46 percent who said so in February.

Sales expectations remained flat, with 46 percent expecting gains. Nearly one in four companies plan to add workers, up from last year’s third quarter when just 16 percent of respondents said they would be hiring in the near term.

Magazine adds peer group The publisher of CEO Magazine acquired Chief Executive Network (CEN), a member organization to help executives become more effective.

Greenwich-based Chief Executive Group L.L.C. did not disclose what it paid for Lawrence, Kan.-based CEN, which reports having more than 550 members across seven industry sectors including manufacturing and software.

“Chief Executive Network provides nononsense leadership development to CEOs and their direct reports,” Chief Executive Group CEO Marshall Cooper said in a statement. “CEN isn’t for CEOs that need constant ‘spine-stiffening’ – CEN members know what they need to do and better spend their time seeking out best practices and relevant benchmarks.”

GE mines Australia, Va. deals General Electric Co. is acquiring two mining equipment manufacturers in Industrea Ltd. and Fairchild International.

In separate GE news, as expected Norwalk-based GE Capital resumed making dividends, declaring a $475 million payment for the second quarter to its Fairfield-based parent. GE Capital had suspended dividends in 2009.

Fairfield-based GE values the deal for

Industrea at $700 million and did not initially reveal what it is paying for Fairchild International.

Queensland, Australia-based Industrea has more than 700 employees who make mining vehicles, drill systems and other hardened equipment, while offering contract-mining services. In the second half of 2011, Industrea earned $15 million on $173 million in revenue.

Glen Lyn, Va.-based Fairchild International has 150 workers making scoops, haulage systems and maintenance vehicles, among other coal mining needs.

State sanctions broker The Connecticut Department of Banking accused a Weston man of diverting more than $700,000 in funds from a partnership for his own use.

Through affiliates of a Norwalk hedge fund he ran called RMV Partners L.P., Ronald Marvin wired more than $700,000 from an account for his own personal use without authorization from limited partners affiliated with RMV, according to the Department of Banking.

Following an investigation into another improper $145,000 transaction, last October the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority barred Marvin from associating with any FINRA member in any capacity.

New nonprofit liaison Alyssa Goduti is Connecticut’s new nonprofit liaison to the governor’s office, charged with advocating on behalf of organizations.

The cabinet-level position was established last year by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, and functions at the same level as a commissioner of a state agency.

A resident of Cromwell, Goduti is currently vice president for business development and communications with Community Health Resources.

Goduti replaces Deb Heinrich, who left the position earlier this year.

Presstek presses on Under new CEO Stanley Freimuth, Presstek Inc. reeled off more red ink in the first quarter, though narrowing its losses to $1.2 million, a slight improvement from a year ago thanks in part to recent layoffs.

Greenwich-based Presstek sells digital offset presses. Sales totaled $27 million in the first quarter, down from $31.9 million in the first quarter of 2011 when it lost $1.5 million.

Freimuth replaced former CEO Jeff Jacobson, who left Presstek in February to take a job leading Norwalk-based Xerox Corp.’s graphics communications division.

Both Presstek and Xerox had a presence at the Drupa printing convention earlier this month in Germany, where Presstek showcased its new 75DI digital offset press after winning an order from an unidentified packaging printer in North America.

SPECIAL REPORT Family Businesses

Stress test, family style

BY ALEXANDER SOULE

casoule@westfairinc.com

I

n mid-May, federal regulators set out new rules under which they would subject the nation’s largest banks to “stress tests” of their assets and liabilities.

If there is no stress test quite like that of the small family business, those entities should add a formal process for testing the ability of their partnerships to stand up to court scrutiny when the day arrives that control passes to the next generation, according to Todd Angkatavanich, an attorney with Withers Bergman L.L.P., which has offices in Greenwich, New Haven and New York City.

Angkatavanich spelled out 10 “stress tests” family businesses can employ, speaking at the Transitions East conference in April hosted by Stetson University and Family

Business Magazine, with the Westport-based Mitchell’s Family of Stores CEO Jack Mitchell also a featured speaker.

The conference arrived even as the National Federation of Independent Business and other groups warn of continued uncertainty over where Congress will peg estate taxes when the current law expires at the end of this year, at which point the federal estate tax is set to revert to a 55 percent rate with a $1 million exemption.

“We’re basically talking about a lifetime audit or a lifetime stress test if you will, of your family limited partnership,” Angkatavanich said at the conference in a live interview with Trusts and Estates posted online. “Over the past 10 years … a lot of the recent cases made it clear that you can’t just set up these documents, make them legal and then put them into a drawer.

“The notion with doing a diagnostic stress test is to say, ‘Okay, you have a partnership,’” he said. “It’s been in place for whatever – five years, 10 years, 15 years. The parent is still alive and well – let’s do a checkup from time to time rather than waiting until the parent passes on and scrambling to see whether this thing was administered properly. The name of the game with these vehicles now is for them to pass scrutiny; you have to have these things administered properly, at a minimum.”

In 2010, Connecticut lowered the minimum asset base at which taxes kick in for estates, with critics saying the new rules could impact family businesses that are bequeathed to the next generation. With two months to go in the fiscal year, estate tax collections were running a third below their level

“We’re basically talking about a lifetime audit or a lifetime stress test if you will, of your family limited partnership.”

— Todd Angkatavanich, attorney with Withers Bergman L.L.P.

in fiscal 2011 – which could be due to any number of factors, from tax avoidance to the death of one or more exceptionally wealthy people the previous year having an impact on this year’s comparisons.

According to Angkatavanich, the Internal Revenue Service has been scrutinizing family partnerships the past few years with an eye on ferreting out whether a parent truly cuts ties with an asset after handing it to their children in their lifetime, or whether they still benefit from that asset and so retain an implicit interest. It is something that only a legal “stress test” can determine.

Bona fide gifts or sales that have met any tax obligations are completely legitimate, of course, but some family partnerships may toe the line a little too closely.

“You want to see where there are some of the telltale (signs) that the parent has retained an implied use of the asset, whether they’ve continued to take cash flow directly from the asset … whether they continued to use some of the assets without paying rent,” Angkatavanich said.

family business can be one of the most satisfying of life’s endeavors – and also one of the most frustrating.

Success in a family business brings unity, security and a legacy. Discord and tension within the family can cause the decline of the business and the parting of the family. The intensity of the family dynamics interwoven in the business management and ownership can lead to the family dynamics becoming family dynamite!

Only about 33 percent of family businesses successfully transition to a second generation and only 15 percent to the third generation. What are some of the strategies for maintaining success in your family business?

John Santa, former CEO of Santa Energy, successfully transitioned to the third generation. He noted that “we need to realize and embrace the oxymoronic notion of family business.”

There is a dynamic tension between a “family-first” or “business-first” approach.

For example, family membership is open and accepting, based on birthright and marriage. Business membership is limited and based on specific job and competency.

The unconditional love and acceptance of a family can bleed over into unacceptable behavior on the business side.

Compensation is often a hot button in family businesses.

Do you use the “Christmas/birthdaypresent strategy” and have equal compensation for all family members?

Alternatively, do you use the “fair market value” approach and compensate based on role and impact in the business? Is ownership equal by branch of family or is stock granted based on contribution and open to nonfamily?

Both businesses and families have life cycles that create transitions and challenges. It is critically important to plan for and manage these transitions.

Dean Fowler, a family business adviser for more than 30 years describes five key transitions common to family businesses: • relating as adults;

• employing family members; • developing a business plan; • managing succession; and • transferring the estate.

Each of the transitions needs to be successfully negotiated to achieve a smooth passage to the next stage. What are some of the “best practices” used to move toward success?

In relating as adults, communication skills form the foundation for moving forward. Is the family able to discuss the “undiscussables” – those sensitive issues that are frequently avoided? As a family business consultant, my most significant role is often facilitating these discussions.

Developing a “family constitution” allows the family to create a statement of shared family values. This becomes a guide for the transitions. Santa’s family found it essential to “trust the intentions and competence” of family members.

Family members coming into the business should bring something to the table, ideally having training and work experience obtained outside the family business. Sam Simons, co-president of OEM Controls, joined the family business right after college. Recognizing the need, he later increased his value to the business by completing an MBA. In addressing the business needs, it is important to seek third-party input.

Santa cautioned against the family business tendency to “drink their own bathwater.”

Using outside advisers also helps to move away from the “Dad always did it this way” dilemma.

Simons found experts helped limit “head-banging” among family members.

His membership in an executive peer group adds accountability and helps paint a picture of the future.

In planning for the transitions of succession and estate planning the communication skills and outside experts remain important. Also, remain aware of the inherent conflicts of family and business.

Successful family businesses recognize that they are all fallible human beings seeking the common goal of unity, security and a legacy.

Small business in brief

Anemic interest in health tax credits Fewer small employers than expected claimed the small employer health insurance tax credit in tax year 2010, according to a new study by the federal Government Accountability Office.

While 170,000 small employers claimed the tax credit for a combined $468 million, GAO found, estimates of the eligible pool by government agencies and small business advocacy groups ranged from 1.4 million to 4 million.

Most claims were limited to partial rather than full percentage credits – 35 percent for small businesses – because of average wage or employee requirements.

One factor limiting the credit’s use was that most of the smallest employers do not offer health insurance, and GAO said the tax credit was not large enough to incentivize employers to begin offering insurance.

Loyalty? Bah!

Retirement savings lacking, study finds About half of Americans are not contributing to any retirement plan, according to a recent survey by LIMRA, a Windsor-based company that offers research on the life insurance and annuities industry.

“The findings from this survey were disturbing, given that people will increasingly need to rely on their personal savings to make ends meet in retirement,” Matthew Drinkwater, associate managing director of LIMRA Retirement Research, said in a statement. “It was especially troubling to see that a larger portion of younger Americans – who are less likely to have a defined benefit plan – are not saving for retirement in IRAs or defined contribution plans.”

Younger and higher-income consumers are more likely to be considering contributing to an IRA in the next year. But nearly half of all consumers said they are not planning

to contribute to an IRA because they could not afford to do so.

‘Ambush’ election law on hold A federal judge’s decision struck down an “ambush election” rule that would have dramatically changed union election procedures.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and a group called the Coalition for a Democratic Workforce had sued the National Labor Relations Board over the law. In response, NLRB said it had “temporarily” suspended implementing the new rules as it reviews the court decision and its options.

“The rule would have had a devastating impact on small businesses and never would have been approved had the board followed procedure and not rammed through this pro-labor rulemaking,” Karen Harned, executive director of the Small Business

Legal Center at the National Federation of Independent Business, said in a statement.

Opponents of the law said it limited the ability of business owners to speak with workers regarding the impact of choosing a collective-bargaining representative.

Crowdfunding draws sparse interest Just 3 percent of small businesses expect “crowdfunding” to have a measurable impact on how companies raise cash, according to a survey by Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Insights and Pepperdine University.

Under the new federal JOBS Act, companies can raise up to $1 million in capital by soliciting a multitude of investors through accredited websites. The Securities and Exchange Commission is not expected to release regulations governing crowdfunding until later this year.

– Alexander Soule

The law firm for successful people.

Loyalty toward employers continues to decline and has now reached a seven-year low, according to a new study, with job insecurity and expectations that benefits will be cut contributing factors.

About one in three employees hopes to be working for a different company this year, according to MetLife in its 10th Annual Study of Employee Benefits Trends, and the figure increases “precipitously” for those in Gen Y. “This ‘loyalty gap’ signals a troubling misperception that employers should take seriously,” MetLife stated in its report. “An employee who feels more expendable is likely to be less engaged and committed.”

Four in 10 employers plan to maintain their current benefits, MetLife found, with another 30 percent shifting some costs to employees and 10 percent more otherwise cutting benefits.

City Canvas awards go to Bridgeport, Stamford Bridgeport and Stamford recently won City Canvas project grants of $150,000, matched by additional funding, to complete dynamic public art projects in the two cities. City Canvases is a one-time initiative of the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development-Office of the Arts to bring mural-based public art into downtown spaces throughout the state. The initiative is aimed to enhance public spaces through the visual arts and to connect the urban regions of Connecticut with a statewide placemaking initiative. Projects will be created by Connecticut artists for highly visible exterior city spaces.

The city of Bridgeport will be hosting a mural projection project that will put short video artwork on downtown buildings throughout the summer. The theme for the projection project will be “change,” whatever that means to the artist in relation to the city.

Additionally, a mural will be created and produced with community participation.

The city of Stamford will complete an illumination-based mural project as part of the initiative. This project will transform the exterior of the Stamford Transportation Center, bringing an exciting visual statement to the downtown hub visible from Interstate 95.

It will launch a larger illumination initiative within the city.

This project is the kick-off of a shift in funding by the Office of the Arts that will emphasize the role of arts in making Connecticut’s cities great creative places to live, thereby attracting great creative talent to the state.

Keep watching!

LIFE GOES ON Westport Country Playhouse will stage the National Book Award-winning memoir, “The Year of Magical Thinking” by Joan Didion, June 12-30.

Directed by Nicholas Martin, the play is based on the author’s actual experience rebuilding her life during the year after her spouse’s death and her capacity to emerge strengthened from even the most shattering of life’s trials.

“With unblinking honesty, Joan Didion faces the truth about existence and loss and the ability to go on,” said Mark Lamos, Playhouse artistic director. “It has the word ‘thinking’ in the title and I feel that’s a directive to the way we are meant to respond to the work. Sharing in its presence, clarity and illumination can prove exhilarating, useful and good.”

Maureen Anderman, who will play Didion, appeared at Westport Country Playhouse in “Later Life” and “After-Play.” A Weston resident, she was recently honored for her work in theater with a Westport Arts Award.

Director Nicholas Martin previously directed Westport Country Playhouse’s “The Circle,” “A Cheever Evening,” and “The Substance of Fire.” On Broadway, he directed “Present Laughter,” “Butley,” “Match,” “Hedda Gabler,” “The Rehearsal” and “You Never Can Tell.”

The performance schedule is Tuesdays at 8 p.m., Wednesdays at 2 and 8 p.m., Thursdays and Fridays at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 3 and 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m.

Subscriptions are available – seasonal 4-Play, Pick 3 Plans and FlexTix – offering up to 40 percent off single tickets. Single-ticket prices, starting at $30, are subject to change based on availability.

For more information or tickets, call (888) 9277529 or visit westportplayhouse.org.

TAKE A HIKE The 20th anniversary of the American Hiking Society’s trail awareness program, National Trails Day is June 2.

In honor of this year’s event, Weir Farm National Historic Site will host an invasive plant seminar and volunteer invasive plant pull from 9 to 11 a.m.

Volunteers will begin the day with a 30-minute seminar presented by Logan Senack, invasive plant coordinator with the University of Connecticut and the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. The seminar will include a discussion of invasive plant species and information on invasive species of concern in Connecticut. The event will continue with a hands-on invasive plant pull along the Weir Pond trail. Volunteers will assist National Park Service staff in habitat restoration, removing invasive plants such as garlic mustard and Japanese barberry from the woodlands.

To register or for more information, call 8341896, ext. 11.

Health care’s changing face

T

he Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which has been dubbed ObamaCare, will soon be the law of the land, unless the U.S. Supreme Court derails it.

While pundits try to predict possible outcomes, hospitals and other health care providers are keeping their eyes on the bottom line and becoming more select in the services they offer. As baby boomers age and are in need of orthopedic surgeries such as knee and hip replacements, hospitals are addressing these needs

by adding specialized surgeries and rehabilitation programs as well as senior consultation services.

But, also part of the equation is ensuring quality of care, patient satisfaction and efficiency. And as more hospitals and providers turn paper records into electronic ones, ensuring privacy is also paramount.

Under a provision of the Affordable Care Act, doctors, hospitals and others who serve Medicare patients now have the option of forming accountable care organizations (ACOs), which offer a framework for ultimately replacing the fee-for-service system with a pay-for-performance arrangement.

By the way, the formation of ACOs was a topic covered on just seven of the 900-plus pages of the Affordable Care Act. What else is in store is hard to say.

With that in mind, we offer this resource guide that contains a sampling of hospitals and other health care providers and a number of services they provide.

TWO LEFT FEET Mary loved to dance, but her hips could no longer carry a tune. So she paid a visit to Phelps Memorial Hospital Center and had her hips replaced by the Northeast’s most experienced surgeon in the revolutionary Anterior Approach — recognized by experts as the most advanced procedure for hip replacement.

Thanks to this minimally invasive procedure — and Phelps’ legendary post-op care — just two weeks after her double hip replacement she was back on her two left feet. A warning to dance floors everywhere.

Find out why people are traveling to Phelps for orthopedic surgery. www.phelpshospital.org/ortho or call 1 888 888-2311

Then I made it my business to get all the help we needed.

When my mother was afflicted with Alzheimer’s, days and nights became a constant, emotional ordeal for my family.

We changed our lives to make my mother’s life as comfortable and fulfilling as possible.

Because of this experience, I expanded my long-established estate planning law practice to include personalized Elder Law and Medicaid planning. One that offers solutions and peace of mind, with caring and understanding.

I offer the kind of service that I could not find.

I provide advice and counsel in all elder law-related matters including asset preservation and Medicaid qualification. Also provided is estate planning, Medicaid trusts, health care proxies, living wills, powers of attorney and guardianships.

All my clients have my cell phone number.

Information or reassurance is often necessary on an immediate basis. Calls are returned promptly, services delivered when promised.

Hear top experts and business leaders discuss:

“The decline in both monthly and annual job growth numbers in April is disappointing, but unusual seasonal patterns this past winter into spring make these numbers difficult to interpret,” said Andy Condon, the agency’s research director.

onnecticut’s strong start to 2012 is quickly becoming a distant memory. The state now has two straight months of job losses, shedding 4,100 positions in April.

The Department of Labor’s monthly jobs report greatly clouds forecasts for the state’s economic recovery. While the unemployment rate held steady at 7.7 percent, Connecticut dropped 6,100 jobs in March and April.

“That’s quiet a negative trend after what was a very strong and positive start. Now we’re at net 5,300 new jobs for the 4/11 5/11 6/11 7/11 8/11 year—that’s a very slow rate of growth and unfortunately the last two months have not been good news.”

Year-over-year losses A state labor official admitted disappointment with the April report, particularly when looking at the year-over-year (April 2011-April 2012) numbers. Connecticut dropped 2,300 jobs over the last 12 months, even as the unemployment rate fell 1.4 percent.

“The April jobs numbers for Connecticut show that the economy is still struggling to reach a sustainable recovery,” says CBIA economist Pete Gioia.

“Despite variability in growth from month to month we still appear to be on a path of positive, albeit modest job growth.”

Among the major employment sectors, construction lost 2,300 jobs, followed by the government sector (down 1,300 positions), and leisure and hospitality with a loss of 1,200 jobs. Manufacturing shed 400 positions— the sector has lost 1,400 jobs over the last 12 months.

Four of the major sectors saw job growth in April. Professional and business services gained 900 positions; trade, transportatrion, and utilities added 500 jobs; financial activities increased by 300 positions; and the information sector added 100 jobs.

Connecticut has recovered 34,100, or 29 percent, of the 117,500 total jobs lost in the March 2008-February 2010 recession.

Issues & PolIcIes

Progress Made and Challenges Remain

T

he 2012 legislative session saw the state move forward with a meaningful education reform package that paves the way for significant changes in Connecticut’s public education system—changes that promise to narrow the achievement gap and raise student performance across the state.

Lawmakers took other positive steps, too—often in the form of blocking harmful measures from advancing during the session.

For employers, that was welcome progress. Connecticut’s economy continues its slow recovery and businesses are

facing numerous cost and competitive pressures. Legislative actions in many issue areas can have a direct impact on employers’ ability to create and keep good jobs.

Connecticut also faces a long-term fiscal challenge that can be resolved only by enacting structural reforms to reduce the cost of government and avoid further tax increases on individuals and businesses.

Policymakers continue to seek and understand the real perspectives of the business community so they can adopt policies that will encourage private sector investments that create opportunities for the people of our state.

With the progress of last fall’s Jobs Session and now the landmark education reforms, legislators should be encouraged to keep moving forward in ways that will promote economic renewal and job growth.

And once again, we are very thankful for the many CBIA members who supported our Government Affairs team during the 2012 General Assembly session.

Their involvement helped deepen the debates and widen the understanding of business issues at the Capitol. ➤ Read more at gov.cbia.com
