FOR THE SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR, accounting firm Citrin Cooperman gathered a panel of CEOs to UConn Stamford’s General Re Auditorium — filling it again with an audience of 200 — for a give-and-take with Mark Fagan,

managing partner at the firm.

The questions were designed to plumb the CEOs’ successes and harvest their anecdotes. The CEOs responded with unguarded responses that ran from whimsy — “I always wanted to be a ballerina” — to horror: “When you hit the water at 74 mph it’s like hitting cement.”

The 2015 CEO Evolution panelists were Anne M. Mulcahy, former chairwoman and CEO of Xerox Corp. and current chairwoman of the board of trustees for Save the Children; Denis J. Nayden, former chairman and CEO of GE Capital and now » CEO, page 6

STEM programs nurture seeds of curiosity GROWING TOMORROW’S LEADERS IN AFTER-SCHOOL CLASSES

BY DANIELLE BRODY dbrody@westfairinc.com A GROWING NUMBER OF STUDENTS LIKE TO code, tinker and design, and a new business sector is eager to teach them how.

Zaniac in Greenwich and The Digital Arts Experience in White Plains offer science, engineering, technology and math classes to schoolage students in Fairfield and Westchester counties. Both programs opened within the past three years and are expanding operations to accommodate increased enrollment and demand.

The respective owners said their programs supplement school curriculums and help youths develop problem-solving skills, preparing them to one day join a workforce that increasingly requires a technological background.

Bruce Carlson, president and CEO of the

Connecticut Technology Council, said there is a gap between the available skilled workforce and what state technology companies need to fuel their growth. In a spring 2014 survey, 50 of its member technology companies reported 3,000 jobs would be available in the next year and a half. U.S. Rep Nita Lowey, D-Harrison, said in a statement recently there are 2,500 unfilled jobs in Westchester County requiring a STEM education, in fields such as health care and software engineering.

“Kids with a STEM background are going to be critical,” Carlson said.

He said studies show youths have an interest in the subject around fifth and sixth grades and it starts to wane in ninth grade. Even though schools in the U.S. are starting to increase STEM exposure, most do not focus on it because of

the regular curriculum in place, Carlson said.

In the U.K. students learn to code starting in kindergarten, he said.

After-school programs allow students to pursue their interests while their minds are fertile and they are receptive to learning about the subject, Carlson said.

Flavia Naslausky, co-owner of Zaniac, part of a Utah-based STEM-education franchise, said being foreign-educated, she and co-owner Camilla Gazal realized math education in the U.S. “wasn’t up to speed with the rest of the world.” They opened the first East Coast franchise of Zaniac on Putnam Avenue in December 2013. Both are mothers who grew up in Brazil and have professional backgrounds in finance. » STEM, page 13

Lease deals keep many companies tied to Connecticut LENGTHY CONTRACTS COULD PROTECT COUNTY’S ECONOMY FROM MAJOR DEPARTURES

BY ALEXANDER SOULE and DIRK PERREFORT Hearst Connecticut Media

B

y Connecticut standards, it was a titanic relocation in 2012 when Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide checked into 333 Ludlow Ave. in Stamford —now dubbed One StarPoint. Then last year it jacked up its state aid package to in excess of $100 million with an eye on employing 1,300 people at its headquarters in its adopted state.

Somewhat lost amid the eye-popping dollar and employment figures was another number: 2034.

That is the year when Starwood Hotels will fulfill the terms of its lease, a suddenly distant date amid agitation at some of Connecticut’s largest corporations after the state Legislature voted to hike taxes, including a new “unitary combined reporting” levy that would allow Connecticut to tax a portion of any profits companies assign to subsidiaries elsewhere. It’s an income stream that has been out of bounds to the state Department of Revenue Services.

In response to corporate complaints, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy proposed the state delay enacting unitary reporting until January.

It may be an extreme example, but Starwood Hotels is not alone in being handcuffed to an extended lease in Connecticut, for better or worse. Starting in October 2009 with Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary General Reinsurance’s decision to relocate within Stamford to its current Long Ridge Road headquarters, over the next five-plus years, many of Fairfield County’s largest employers committed to lengthy new lease terms extending to 2020 and beyond.

There have been a few notable exceptions, like Praxair, which abruptly scotched plans for a new headquarters in Danbury prior to the state budget’s passage; and Sikorsky Aircraft, which committed only to a five-year assistance package as part of a larger deal for its corporate parent United Technologies.

Praxair, a Danbury-based Fortune 250 company, had announced plans for a new headquarters in October during a press conference with Malloy in attendance. Despite the $30 million incentive package offered by the state, those with knowledge of the situation said the project — originally slated to cost about $60 million — ballooned to more than $100 million and was too costly for the company to move forward.

Officials with Praxair have not officially commented on their plans, or whether the state’s new unitary tax was taken under consideration when the plans for the headquar-

ters were scrapped.

The company has about two years left on its lease with the Matrix Corporate Center and is in negotiations with the center’s owners about whether to renew the lease. When the company announced its intentions to build a new headquarters in the fall, CEO Steven Angel said a location in Texas, where the company already has a significant presence, was also considered.

A DECADE ON

For the most part, larger employers reached lease deals or financing packages extending 10 years or more, cognizant of the state’s precarious fiscal state if not aware of tax hikes on the immediate horizon.

“We have been in contact with the governor’s office and with members of the Legislature to make our concerns known about a number of features in the budget bill,” said Ken Siegel, chief administrative officer and general counsel at Starwood. “Clearly, we would have taken the new tax initiatives, including the unitary tax, into account in making a decision to move to Stamford and they will be consideration in determining whether to further expand our headquarters operations in Connecticut. We are still assessing the effect of the tax provisions on our bottom line and on our employees.”

Malloy has stated he has been in contact with General Electric after the Fairfieldbased conglomerate threatened publicly to move its headquarters out of Connecticut, with an email from CEO Jeffrey Immelt subsequently surfacing steeling employees for the possibility of having to relocate.

Malloy did not say with whom he spoke at GE, but said those executives took issue with sales taxes and the loss of “carry forwards” allowing corporations to bank tax credits for future tax years. More attention has been focused on Connecticut’s introduction of a unitary tax, which is on the books in every other Northeast state save New Jersey, which is considering enacting a version. Malloy has not ruled out vetoing the budget in the face of corporate criticism, but termed that option “unlikely” during a June 4 press conference.

“The unitary tax is part of the package,” Malloy said at the time. “To the extent that there may be some misunderstanding about how that works in Connecticut versus elsewhere, I think there’s now an opportunity to clarify that. Unitary tax is not the same in every state. … If you look at what’s happened in the last few years, there’s a gigantic movement to unitary — that’s the reality.”

For most, it remains a mystery exactly how the unitary tax would function, wheth-

er for companies with headquarters in Connecticut or subsidiaries with their main offices here that feed income into their corporate parents. One major example locally on the latter front is Realogy, a Parsippany, N.J.-based real estate giant that is among the largest employers locally thanks to its Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage — by definition a local business — and Cartus, which helps employees undergoing transfers sell their houses and find homes in their new communities. Cartus chose to stay in Danbury last year, committing to adding up to 200 employees to its existing workforce of 1,275 people at the time in exchange for state incentives over five years.

For the most part, many of the most ballyhooed lease deals of the past few years are locked into longer terms: Gen Re took a 20-year lease on its Long Ridge Road headquarters in Stamford, while Deloitte and Gartner disclosed 15-year terms in Stamford (as a partnership, Deloitte would not be subject to a corporate tax). Only late last year, GE Capital reached a lease renewal on more than 300,000 square feet of space in Norwalk, liabilities that would presumably transfer to any corporations acquiring parts of the financier in GE’s ongoing auction of the subsidiary. And Synchrony Financial is leasing more than 300,000 square feet up Long Ridge Road from Gen Re, having yet to disclose the terms.

Those contracts may represent a security blanket of sorts for Fairfield County, following General Electric’s announced intention to explore other states for its headquarters office in Fairfield, and its ongoing auction of GE Capital.

Perhaps most vexingly for GE, even as it eyes the Connecticut exit sign, the com-

pany is on the cusp of adding more than 1,000 new employees in its home state via its planned acquisition of Alstom’s power business, which in July 2013 took $3.5 million in state aid to support a $25 million modernization of its U.S. headquarters in Bloomfield and a research and development facility in Windsor, the terms of that deal stretching 10 years. GE has yet to complete the acquisition, at $13 billion its largest ever, with analysts questioning its appetite to do so amid intense regulatory scrutiny in Europe, where Alstom has its headquarters outside Paris.

A lease does not always keep a company in place. Long after International Paper’s 2005 headquarters relocation from Stamford to Memphis, Tenn., IP will only be clearing its books this year of its lease obligations at 400 Atlantic St. in Stamford.

Back at One StarPoint in Stamford, for the first time in several years Starwood Hotels scotched its annual June pilgrimage to establish temporary headquarters operations overseas, as the company considers a potential sale under interim CEO Adam Aron.

A lot of changes could be in the offing in the years leading up to 2034, the current scheduled expiration of Starwood’s lease in Stamford.

“I suppose the best way to say it is it’s not over until it’s over, right?” Malloy said.

“Things in the Capitol change minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, week by week.”

UTC plans to part ways with Sikorsky this year

Survey finds generation gap in savings

BY BILL FALLON bfallon@westfairinc.com

F

rom bygone passbook accounts with their hand-stamped tallies to CDs to stashes of cash in the mattress, people have long used a variety of methods to save money. Now, research from TD Bank shows the percentage of those who save is dropping and doing so quickly. And, perhaps for the first time in history, youths can give their elders a good talking-to about thrift.

According to a recent national report from TD Bank, the percentage of Americans who have savings accounts has dropped 17 percent between 2013 and 2014.

Despite the decline, the research found that millennials — those born after 1984 — may be saving better than their older counterparts: 59 percent said they have savings or investments they could draw from if they were to experience an extended period of unemployment or income loss, compared with 54 percent of Gen Xers, those born between 1965 and 1984.

Mauro Decarolis, market president for Connecticut for TD Bank, responded to questions about the survey.

FCBJ: WHY HAS THERE BEEN SUCH A MARKED DECLINE IN SAVINGS 2013-14 (FROM 83 PERCENT TO 70 PERCENT)?

S

DECAROLIS: “Debit cards and online banking are playing central roles in the banking behaviors of today’s consumers — a traditional savings account may have less value to consumers today who are focused on immediate access to their money, via ATM, or for those who value the convenience and safety of using a debit card, rather than cash, for their purchases.

“We also know from our own research that one in five consumers with a bank account today are using alternative banking products — like check cashing services or money transfer agents, so there are multiple factors contributing to consumers’ declining need for a savings account. In order to budget and save, however, using both a checking and savings account is a best practice — especially if the consumer sets up a regular automatic transfer of funds into their savings account.”

FCBJ: MILLENNIALS (59 PERCENT) SAY THEY HAVE SAVINGS OR INVESTMENTS THAT CAN BE DRAWN UPON, COMPARED WITH ONLY 54 PERCENT OF GEN XERS. WHY DO YOU THINK A YOUNGER GENERATION WOULD SAVE AT A GREATER RATE THAN THEIR ELDERS? IS THIS A FIRST? DECAROLIS: “Millennials were impacted by the recession differently than their parents — while they may not have been directly affected they watched parents and relatives

lose their jobs, struggle to make mortgage payments or deplete savings in order to make ends meet.

“Millennials themselves were faced with a challenging job market marked by a scarcity of jobs and low starting salaries.

Furthermore today’s college graduates have an average of $30,000 in debt, forcing them to factor large school loan bills into their finances. All of these factors have contributed to a generation that is hyper-aware of money and finances.

“It would be accurate to say that this is the first time a younger generation is more apt to save than what we would expect to see in the, typically more conservative, older generation. Similar to millennials and their propensity to save, we see a lot of Gen Xers reject the idea of credit cards; when it comes to personal debt they’re quite averse to adding more and tend to make purchases in cash.

“As the disparity between the affluent and economically challenged areas of Fairfield County relate to our findings on spending and saving — while the local millennial generation is more likely to save on the whole, we would expect that millennials in the affluent areas are more likely to have the ability to save and invest than those in the more challenged economic areas.”

Starwood moves forward with spinoff

tamford-based Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. recently announced what it termed “a key milestone” toward a proposed spinoff of its vacation ownership business.

Starwood Vacation Ownership will be named Vistana Signature Experiences Inc. — a separate publicly traded company — upon completion of the spinoff, Starwood said in a statement.

Starwood has filed the appropriate paperwork — a Form 10 registration statement — with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to begin the spinoff. For shareholders, according to a statement, “The spinoff will be effected through a pro rata distribution of the new entity’s stock to Starwood stockholders.”

Starwood plans to complete the move by the fourth quarter of this year.

Adam Aron, Starwood’s interim CEO, said, “Today’s filing is a pivotal step toward the planned spinoff of our vacation ownership business, which will allow us to con-

tinue participating in the timeshare industry while seeking to create stockholder value for both companies. The spinoff will also further advance our asset light strategy with the planned contribution of five Starwood-owned resort assets to create future timeshare inventory for the stand-alone company.”

SVO, previously known as Vistana, began in 1980 with the debut of what was then Vistana Resort in Orlando. It joined the Starwood corporate family in the 1990s and today provides upscale leisure travel and vacation ownership products, with resorts in the U.S., Hawaii, Mexico and the Caribbean.

Following completion of the spinoff, Vistana Signature Experiences will encompass 19 vacation ownership resorts and three “fractional residence properties.” The Starwood statement said “additional hotel asset inventory is expected to be transferred from Starwood as part of the transaction.”

The spinoff remains subject to the approval of the Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. board of directors and the

satisfaction of certain other customary conditions, including the effectiveness of the Form 10, the company said. And, “Starwood may, at any time until the closing of the separation, decide to abandon, modify or change the terms of the separation.”

Starwood has retained Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Credit Suisse as financial advisers and Latham & Watkins LLP, based in Los Angeles with Manhattan offices, as legal counsel to advise on the planned spinoff.

managing partner of private equity firm Oak Hill Capital Partners; and Thomas Kallish, who began textile companies Alliance Integrated Contracting Corp. and Cocona and 5-year-old textile-apparel company Tommie Copper.

The tendency to seek commonalities among those who have made it to the top was upended by their unique histories: Kallish is a high school dropout who taught himself physics and who founded Tommie Copper after the battering of a 74 mph waterskiing accident; Mulcahy, an erstwhile ballerina, took over one of the world’s corporate giants — Xerox — as it courted bankruptcy and turned back into an investment-grade company; and Nayden was formerly in charge of 20 businesses under the GE Capital name, representing $555 billion in assets in 35 countries and is a self-described “hard-headed, formerly hot-headed, Irishman.”

John A. Elliott, dean of the host/cosponsor University of Connecticut School of Business, introduced Fagan, promising — and soon enough delivering on — “an exciting conversation.” Westfair Communications, publisher of the Fairfield County Business Journal, also was a sponsor. Elliott had been introduced by Westfair Associate Publisher Anne Jordan Duffy.

Kallish stitched together an entrepreneurial career in textiles and clothing, first selling for a company at 20 and buying it at 22. For Nayden, the path to success meant trying many things, and he offered the advice: “Do this and that and after 10 years you’ll say, I liked this and I hated that.”

Mulcahy said, “Communicating with clarity is important so that people get signed up and behind you. It’s most important in big companies to have people understand

the story. We need to tell a story people can relate to and are a part of. I spent a lot of time telling the story. People do amazing things when they trust their leadership and believe the story.”

Nayden, citing the Xerox turnaround, said, “You kept it simple and changed the whole dynamic.”

“It’s all about having the right partners,” Mulcahy said, adding with a bit of reciprocating praise: “When no one was answering the phone, GE helped. You were an amazing partner.”

The audience sat rapt throughout and after two hours peppered the panel with questions concerning topics, including education and personal “back-of-a-business card” reasons for their successes.

For the many disparities among the CEOs, similarities included a willingness — even an eagerness — to surround themselves with people who knew more about specific issues than they did.

In response to a Fagan question about creating a network of trust, Kallish said, “I’m not scared to hang around with people who are smarter than me. I’ve spent the better part of four years to build my network. A CEO is the sum of his parts and those parts are his network. That’s how it gets done.”

“You cannot grow and you cannot learn unless you take advantage of those around you,” Nayden said. He described a CEO as an orchestra leader. “We’re not playing one instrument; we’re the entire orchestra.

“It’s very important to decide what the most important things are and to communicate them regularly,” said Nayden. “Keep it simple. Be consistent. Working with 35 countries, I learned there have to be differences.

The way I communicate in Connecticut is going to be different than the way I communicate in Indonesia or New Jersey.”

in 2001, Mulcahy explained to a friend the magnitude of the dilemma she faced. The response, as she related it: “You need someone who’s really powerful.” She made the bold call — a banker on the national stage — and immediately got the results she needed.

Mulcahy’s Xerox history also taught her about trust: both losing it and regaining it.

“It took just 90 days for Xerox to become junk; it took four years to get it back to investment grade. It takes time to gain people’s confidence.”

Mulcahy’s teacher on time management was financier Warren Buffett. “They want to see results,” she said, recalling Buffett’s advice. “Put some points on the curve. It cleared the air. It absolutely made sense.”

Toward that end, she visits with customers and employees and considers herself the inhouse chief communications officer: “I make sure 100,000 people actually get it.”

None of the CEOs set out to be a CEO and that was a major point. “Do what you do best; follow your passion,” Mulcahy said. Nayden said many paths offered many chances to see what works for a person and rare was the person who knew from the start how he or she would end up.

“I am a hard-headed Irishman and I used to be a hard-headed Irishman who was also hot-headed,” Nayden said. “That happens to me very rarely now — mainly on the golf course. You can ruin a relationship in an instant. Don’t be a tyrant. Don’t be someone who doesn’t listen. Don’t be the smartest person in the room. It takes a lifetime to build a reputation and a nanosecond to lose it.”

“The chemistry that emerged between Anne, Denis and Tom demonstrated that the challenges CEOs face are not dictated by the size or complexity of a company or the industry it is in for that matter,” Fagan said afterward, calling the event informative and inspiring. “It was clear, they believe that great leadership requires constant communication with employees and customers, recruiting, developing and retaining talented employees, not being afraid to fail and working hard.”

“Last year launched this important CEO Evolution series and this year was another valuable discussion with a great panel,” Elliott said. “At UConn we teach management, but we also engage with managers to create a dialogue that benefits all of us.”

Medical marijuana industry grows in Connecticut STATE LOOKS TO ADD DISPENSARIES

BY REECE ALVAREZ ralvarez@westfairinc.com

T

he Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection is seeking applicants for three new licenses to sell medical marijuana after what it says was a successful start to the program, with the number of registered patients using marijuana doubling in less than a year.

“As public awareness about the safety and quality of Connecticut-grown medical marijuana increases, we are seeing steady growth in physician and patient acceptance of the program,” department Commissioner Jonathan A. Harris said in the announcement. “Since last fall, when dispensaries first began selling medical marijuana, the number of patients registered in the program has more than doubled. Specifically, the number of registered patients rose from 1,683 in September 2014 to 4,097 this month.”

Harris said more dispensaries are needed in New Haven and Fairfield

counties, specifically.

Both counties have one dispensary — Compassionate Care of Connecticut is in Bethel in Fairfield County and Branford’s Bluepoint Wellness Connecticut is in New Haven County.

The state’s other four dispensaries are in Bristol, Hartford, South Windsor and Uncasville.

There are four licensed producers of medical marijuana in the state, with no indication from the Department of Consumer Protection whether more will be permitted.

The department stated that although it plans to award three dispensary licenses in this round of applications, it “reserves the right to award more licenses if it concludes additional dispensaries are desirable.”

“Furthermore, even if more licenses are not awarded during this RFA (request for applications) round, the department expects to issue an RFA for additional facilities in other counties in the future, if the program’s success continues.”

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

How to please big clients We have been struggling on the big accounts – not understanding their needs well enough, not profitable enough, not on time and coming in over budget sometimes. Big clients aren’t especially happy with us these days. How do I prevent this from seriously damaging our business?

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Correctly diagnosing the situation is crucial. Symptoms often show up internally as the producing company notices problems before the recipient buyer sees them. There are real dollars attached to ensuring customers are satisfied.

Make sure to follow these rules for diagnosing the situation. When clients speak, hear them out, as you listen in order to understand, not to rebut. Restate what you heard in order to verify understanding. Ask clients who don’t say much to give you feedback and reassure them that negative feedback is as welcome as positive feedback. Get to work on permanent solutions.

Sometimes the most obvious question is the one that delivers the most actionable information. Ask clients what it would take to make them happy. Just because clients ask for something, that doesn’t necessarily make it a good idea for your company. Set aside time to figure out if you can deliver what they’re asking for or not. Vend out or refer out things that you’re asked to do that don’t make sense for your company.

When your staff tells you there’s a problem with a client, pay attention. Often your people will know that something is wrong long before the client identifies an issue.

Look for themes and one-offs: Is the current issue similar to other situations you’ve encountered, or is it unique? Prioritize fixing the repetitive issues. Occasionally look at the unique issues for opportunity to take the business in a new direction.

Always question the source of the problem. Did the issue crop up because of who was buying, how it was sold or the way the solution was delivered? Think through whether this client should have bought from you or whether the solution was oversold.

Or, was there a problem delivering something your company produces regularly and should have done a better job of delivering this time.

When looking to expand, remember to sell new products to existing customers. You

can trade on a long-standing positive relationship. Existing customers who know and respect the work of your company are more likely to cut you a break if things don’t go well.

On the other hand, existing customers may get tired of the same old product and look for new innovations. Keep the relationship fresh with additional offers that will help to keep that client coming back for more.

Use existing products to lure in new groups of clients. Figure out who else might want what your company has to offer. Start off new clients with a strong relationship because you’re offering a product or service that’s well tested and proven.

One researcher, looking at a Fortune 100 company, equated a 1 percent increase in satisfaction to $13 million in increased service contracts. That’s powerful. While your numbers might be smaller, it’s important that everyone in your company understand sthe link between satisfied clients and continued revenue flow to pay the bills, including everyone’s salary and benefits.

When looking to ensure customer satisfaction, look for consistent holes. Decide if it’s due to a lack of management and oversight, lack of proper planning as to how work will be handled or lack of production skill, quality materials and deliverability.

Tackle the problems now, rather than avoiding them, by forming a team of people to work on diagnosing and solving the problems at hand. Make satisfying customers everyone’s job.

Keep in mind that the bigger the client, the bigger the opportunity and the bigger the risk if things don’t go well. Big clients can help your company grow, as long as their needs and yours are well-aligned. Make sure the clients you’re struggling with aren’t predators, looking to pick apart your company for all it’s worth before moving on to do it to someone else. Instead, look for big clients you can partner and align with, to help you and them succeed because of mutual interest and goodwill.

County’s business identity continues to evolve BUSINESS COUNCIL CEO: DEPARTURES ARE PART OF NATURAL EBB AND FLOW

BY DANIELLE BRODY dbrody@westfairinc.com

W

ith the multinational corporation and longtime Fairfield County occupant General Electric considering packing its bags, the area’s skilled workforce and strategic location will continue to draw new companies in spite of potential challenges, says Christopher Bruhl, president and CEO of The Business Council of Fairfield County.

“Fairfield County has always been a place where change happens,” Bruhl said.

“We’re close enough to this huge change engine called New York City, but we’re far enough away from it that we’ve always had to carve out our own identity. We are a

destination for people.”

The metro economy and the people and companies that settle in the area have always shaped Fairfield County, Bruhl said.

About three out of four “knowledge workers” (those with a four-year degree) in the county were born in another state or country, he said.

The county has reinvented itself with a smaller workforce that receives higher compensation, resulting in high-class medical care, Apple stores and bars that sell pricey drinks, Bruhl said.

The economy is the sum of its parts, and businesses coming and going is natural, according to Bruhl. Companies do not decide to move for one reason, like taxes, but because of other factors that could have been

building up for a long time, he said. These could include changes in the industry, business model or customer base, he said.

“There are always other and deeper business reasons — it’s not just somebody flipped a switch and said, ‘bad climate,’” Bruhl said. “It may have been building for a long time and then people come to a recognition of that.”

In a Connecticut Business & Industry Association survey of nearly 200 state business leaders in January, 31 percent said expanding their customer base was the greatest challenge to growth, followed by finding new workers at 21 percent and the tax burden at 20 percent.

Peter Gioia, CBIA economist and vice president, said business owners face a lot of

challenges. “Connecticut offers an educated workforce and great quality of life, but our tax structure and business climate are starting to make businesses think twice about being here,” Gioia said in a statement.

Fairfield-based GE has said it is considering leaving Connecticut after the recently passed state budget included increased taxes on businesses. Now that its GE Capital subsidiary is being sold, GE is predominately an industrial company that may want to explore broader options for its headquarters, Bruhl said.

According to Bruhl, sometimes companies that choose to come to the state evolve here and others evolve in different directions. Companies can either adapt, ask their environment to adapt or go elsewhere, he said. Bruhl said they have the obligation to explore other places that could be better for business.

“If a company comes to a conclusion that their needs aren’t being met, it’s no longer a good fit, well then they have to go somewhere that they can compete,” he said.

“On the other hand someone else will come, because we will be a fit for them because of our strengths.”

Bruhl said advantages of doing business in the state are the talented and skilled labor pool in a global knowledge economy, due to the proximity to large markets, large media and a large financial center. The state attracts global companies because it’s on the Eastern seaboard, making it close to Europe, and is centrally located in the corridor between Boston and Washington, D.C., he said.

Employers also appreciate that schools like Sacred Heart University, Fairfield University and the University of ConnecticutStamford offer graduate programs in the county, allowing them to re-educate their workforce without employees having to leave their jobs, Bruhl said.

A challenge in the county is that, besides Stamford, it is not a compelling place for young professionals to live, Bruhl said, but added that it is changing. Still, it is difficult for startups to be able to compensate talent well enough to live in the Fairfield County, he said.

Bruhl said the state should be aware of the trends of who is leaving and who is coming. Some business leaders would say the state should focus on the businesses they have here rather than recruiting new ones, he said.

“Established economies do welcome incoming companies, but they are less susceptible to growth by recruitment and more susceptible to growth by helping their existing companies grow,” Bruhl said.

SPECIAL REPORT

EDUCATION

STEM —

emphasis on STEM, they’re slow to incorporate the subjects into the curriculum.

Meg Käufer, president of the STEM Alliance of Larchmont-Mamaroneck, a nonprofit that connects schools and people with STEM resources, said it is important for youngsters to get involved at an early age because it is when they’re at their creative peak.

“Their minds are more nimble and more flexible,” Käufer said. “They’re more willing to be open to solutions. … STEM learning demands those skill sets when it’s done well. We believe it will lead to a more nimble and more flexible workforce we think is critical for the future of our nation.”

Even if young students don’t go into a STEM field, having an understanding of, for example, HTML will be a valuable skill, Kissner said. At the DAE they also learn to use tools to break down large projects into steps, prototype and test. They also often collaborate with other students on their own.

Naslausky said students are more likely to be creative at Zaniac compared with school. “There is no wrong answer, there is no testing at Zaniac,” she said. “They’re more comfortable with taking risks, getting things wrong.”

She said Zaniac students enjoy the classes because they are game-based and instructors are well-rounded high school and college students chosen for their potential to be role models for the younger students.

While some students come to Zaniac because their parents enrolled them, the owners have noticed the students are inviting their friends to join. The classes attract youths who also have other hobbies like sports, art and music.

“It doesn’t feel like school – it’s very dynamic space where there’s a lot of sharing and debating going around,” Naslausky said. “It’s become a place where kids like to meet and like to hang out with their friends.”

Käufer said students with a strong interest in STEM used to have to wait until college to meet similar-minded people.

“There are a lot of kids for whom this is an interest and they’re doing it alone,” she said. “These after-school programs are critical for their identity development.”

The brightly colored Zaniac open campus offers classes in the company’s math curriculum, computer programming, live robotics, 3-D printing, tinkering, game design, Minecraft and touch typing after school and at summer camp, Gazal said.

About 500 Zaniac students have come through in the past 18 months, the owners said. Going into the summer, about 250 youths are signed up for camp, a more than 100 percent increase from their first summer last year, Gazal said. They also partner with schools.

Naslausky and Gazal said they expected students to come from Greenwich, but they’re seeing enrollment from as far as New York City. They plan to open a new location in the Westport/Fairfield area by the end of the summer in time for the coming school year.

Rob Kissner, president and CEO of the three-year-old Digital Arts Experience on Hamilton Avenue in downtown White Plains, said enrollment has increased as have requests from schools to conduct classes on-site. Last summer he outfitted a truck with tables, seats and Macbooks that can host 10 students and an instructor.

When the DAE staff taught classes at schools, students did not have the same experience because their schools have varying levels of equipment.

“We figured if we could bring our teachers, our curriculum, our classroom, we’d kind of even the playing field,” Kissner said.

The DAE offers classes in computer programming, electronics, 3-D printing, modeling, Minecraft, animation, graphic design, photography, game design and more. Nearly every class, except those involving a studio, which is on-site, can be taught on the truck, he said.

“It was basically booked before we even had it,” Kissner said.

He said this spring the truck held about 25 classes during the week and was popular for birthday parties. Now the DAE does about half its classes on-site and half on the truck. Kissner is considering buying another truck based on demand in the fall.

The truck is helpful for schools, he said, because although they are putting more

SHU study finds state slow to recover from recession

C

onnecticut was more severely impacted by the Great Recession than many states and, as a result, its residents are not seeing the same kind of recovery that is happening elsewhere, according to a recent study conducted by business students at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield.

Sixteen students from SHU’s John F. Welch College of Business spent their spring semester on an economic outlook for Connecticut for 2015-17 in Lucjan T. Orlowski’s economic and financial forecast-

ing class.

Two representatives of the group, Kimberly Ball and Adrien Viani, recently presented their findings during a forum at the Frank and Marisa Martire Business & Communications Center at SHU. Besides a slow recovery from the recession, the students reported Connecticut is also lagging behind the rest of the country when it comes to employment. Connecticut’s rate of 6.4 percent unemployment is above the national average of 5.5 percent and plac-

es the state 42nd in overall unemployment rankings.

The students said Connecticut has lost 12,000 jobs in the financial sector and 45,000 jobs in manufacturing since the recession began. And many of the new jobs replacing them are in low-skill, low-pay areas, indicating that while numbers show improvement, income and tax revenue growth will not increase significantly.

Regarding the housing market, the students found that prices for homes in

Connecticut are close to double the national averages for comparable properties and tax rates are prohibitively high compared with major cities in other states. They found home ownership has fallen from 70.5 percent in 2009 to 67.4 percent in 2014, while rental vacancy rates have steadily declined.

The study also cited weakness in the banking sector, with in-state institutions lagging behind national competitors on several metrics, including growth of net interest — 1.075 percent in-state and 45.79 percent outside — and equity-to-capital ratios, where Connecticut institutions lag by 1 percent.

In addition to Ball and Viani, participating students included Adria Abboud, John Brownell, Kenneth Byram, Matthew Cole, James Cooksey, Kyle Czarnecki, Anthony Dolisi, Jonathan Flood, Scott Gaffney, Vincent Iannitelli, Margaret McCabe, Raymond Satagaj, Steven Sullivan and Emma Trapani.

Wright Tech gets $5M from state J.M. WRIGHT TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL in Stamford can continue to grow with nearly $5 million in funding secured by Stamford representatives in the General Assembly.

The delegation procured $1,466,234 for fiscal year 2016 and $3,516,042 for fiscal year 2017 to help the school increase enrollment. Wright Tech reopened in 2014 after suspending operations in 2009. The school offers a variety of technology, science, health, automotive and media programs and has partnerships with numerous southwestern Connecticut businesses related to those areas.

Enrollment is expected to grow by approximately 150 each year as each class of students moves up a grade. In the next two years, the money will be used to fill about 35 full- and part-time positions at the school and to buy educational supplies, textbooks and equipment.

“We fought successfully to reopen Wright Tech, and we continue to fight for increased funding to ensure its success,” said state Sen. Carlo Leone, D-Stamford. “Wright Tech provides a 21st century technical education that empowers our students to be competitive in the job market and to be the backbone of a thriving Connecticut workforce.”

FAIRFIELD COUNTY BUSINESS JOURNAL • Week of June 22, 2015 15

‘Legally Blonde’ and a Premiere of ‘Cinderella’ June begins the Summer Theatre of New Canaan’s 12th season. We continue to work hard to raise the bar. By this I mean the experience our audiences, casts, staff, interns and student share. This is a process of building a sustainable relevance within the communities and extended communities we serve; children, parents, adults, seniors, artists, patrons and sponsors who enable us. The list of things to improve on each year seems endless once you scratch the surface. Carrying this responsibility I find my personal goal has become refined into an act of falling forward each year — as compared to stable steady growth expected by our trustees.

Landing on my face has its benefits. Like the phoenix in classic mythologies, a spontaneous recovery happens every time I attend our shows, rehearsals, talk to our audiences before and especially following a performance or see our students learning. Our programs for college interns, high school pre-college theater intensives and Middle School Junior Company all reap personal dividends. I experience minor miracles regularly in our DramaRamas program for children 8-18 with special needs and we witness daily miracles of personal development. This unique program engages our professional actors and college interns who work one on one as personal mentors with the children as they put on their own performance. We were just notified by the Connecticut Critics Circle that they are giving our DramaRamas program a special award. Falling forward can be very rewarding.

We will be producing “Legally Blonde, the Musical,” running June 24-Aug. 9. It is one of the most fun upbeat Broadway hit musicals written. After the success last year of our production of “Hairspray,” “Legally Blonde” continues the theme of female empowerment. We selected our professional cast after auditioning more than 700 performers and I am happy to say we have several local Connecticut pros in the cast. Thursday nights will be “Girls Night Out” with boutique and spa door prizes, great pre-show happy hours and special dinner deals from New Canaan’s best restaurants. A perfect evening to polish up on the “Bend and Snap.”

Our theater for a young audience series again this year features a world premiere: a new musical adaptation of “Cinderella,” titled “Cinderella, A Fairy’s Tale,” July 3 and in rep with our other young audience shows “Charlotte’s Web” and “Wizard of Oz” weekends through Aug. 9. Falling forward may hurt a little but you get up smiling wanting more! Information and tickets: stonc.org.

Hope to see you at Waveny Park.

Fairfield University Hosts Free Summer Lawn Concert There is nothing more enjoyable than a beautiful evening, a lovely picnic with family and friends and, in the background, melodies celebrating the start of the summer season.

Fairfield University is proud to announce “Live on the Lawn,” a family-friendly outdoor concert on the DiMenna-Nyselius Library lawn Saturday, June 27, 6:30 p.m., featuring the band The Alternate Routes, with opening act Todd Carey. The concert, presented by the Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts, is the kick-off celebration of the 25th anniversary of the oncampus arts center.

Headliner The Alternate Routes is formed by Fairfield University alumni. The band has toured the world and their song “Nothing More,” inspired to support those affected by the tragic events in Newtown, was featured in the 2014 Winter Olympics. Their music has also been featured on popular television shows on NBC, ABC, ESPN, as well as UNICEF. The New York-based artist, Todd Carey, will be the night’s opening act. Carey has toured nationally and performed on stage with such diverse artists as Jason Mraz, John Mayer, Marc Broussard, Brendan James, Jason Reeves, Keaton Simons and Matt Duke.

The University encourages concertgoers to come early, tour the campus and enjoy the weather. All are welcome to bring blankets, chairs and picnic supplies. There will be shut-

tle buses from various parking areas to the concert venue and free prize drawings throughout the evening. To register for prizes and for more information, please visit fairfield.edu/ liveonthelawn.

The art festival exhibitors are selected from a pool of local and national talent. Paintings, photography, drawings, prints, sculptures, mixed media, jewelry, ceramics, fiber, metal and glass pieces are all handmade original works of art and available for collecting. The festival includes live musical performances on both days and fun family activities, plus a variety of food temptations, including everything from baked goodies and frozen smoothies to a full food court of gourmet food trucks, including those with lobster. In the tradition of The Bruce Museum Art Festivals, the event promises a high-

quality, creative-arts experience for the patrons as well as the visiting artists.

ECONOMY

State’s Economic Growth Weakens in 2014

C

onnecticut’s economy grew by an anemic 0.6% in 2014 as the gap between the state and regional and national economies widened.

The Bureau of Economic Analysis’ annual gross domestic product report released this week showed Connecticut’s economy was 42nd among all states and the District of Columbia.

Of the New England states, only Maine (0.2%) showed weaker growth, while Vermont also saw a 0.6% increase in economic output.

Massachusetts’ economy was the region’s strongest last year, growing at a 2.3% clip, for 15th in the country.

New Hampshire also saw 2.3% growth while Rhode Island—until recently a perennial economic straggler—grew twice as fast as Connecticut.

The U.S. economy grew 2.2% last year, up from 1.9% in 2013.

years after shrinking by -0.9%.

That pattern of weak growth reflects policy decisions made over the last decade that have increased business costs and jeopardized jobs and opportunities for those who work and live in Connecticut.

The massive tax and spending hikes included in the new, two-year $40 billion state budget passed narrowly by the Senate and House of Representatives on June 3 further threaten Connecticut’s economy.

“The budget’s impact will reach into every community in this state and affect employers of every size and kind, from the local machine shop to the midsize office to the multinational corporation,” said CBIA president and CEO Joe Brennan.

“It has already started causing businesses large and small to question the viability of Connecticut as a place in which to do business.

“There is no doubt that Connecticut businesses are focused on succeeding and growing. The question now is where they will grow.
