adenza Innovation is, if you’ll pardon the expression, surging. The Wilton-based startup, which provides energy storage solutions for license to lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery manufacturers, was selected in June from hundreds of international candidates as one of the World Economic Forum’s 2018 Technology Pioneers — the second time since 2010 that the same founding team has earned that award. Also last month, the firm was awarded funding for a demonstration project to further New York state’s clean energy goals

and support Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s energy storage target of 1500 megawatts in New York State by 2025. That project, expected to be completed by fall 2019, will consist of a stand-alone system that includes a rack-mounted 200kWh, 50kW battery storage unit featuring Cadenza’s Li-ion supercell technology, which company founder and CEO Christina Lampe-Onnerud said is a unique design delivering high energy and improved safety at low cost. “What we’ve been doing is in response to people who say, ‘You can’t do that,’” Lampe-Onnerud told the Business Journal. “Our response is, ‘Yes, but if we » CADENZA

he new, decades-in-the-making CTrail Hartford Line has won mostly rave reviews from legislators and commuters alike. But what — if anything — will its impact be on Fairfield County? The passenger rail line — which launched on June 16 and is the first to open for service in the state since 1990 — has multiple stations in central Connecticut along the Interstate 91 corridor connecting New Haven, Hartford, and Springfield, Massachusetts. Although there are no Fairfield County stations on the line, its connections include the New Canaan and Danbury lines. Joseph McGee, vice president of public policy and programs at the Business Council of Fairfield County — and a longtime proponent of improving the state’s rail system and highways — said he believes that county towns with easy access to the new line will benefit. In addition to connections on the aforementioned lines, passengers arriving in New Haven can cross a platform for MetroNorth connections to Shore Line East, Stamford or New York City or, in reverse, to trains headed to Hartford and Springfield. “The line itself, which runs from New Haven to Springfield, should have a very positive effect on home values and economic development over time,” he said. “And it opens the center of the state to working in New Haven and Stamford, allowing people to get to those places in ways they couldn’t before. A train trip is so much more reliable than a highway trip.” Improved access to places such as Stamford and Bridgeport should help employers there, McGee added. “It’s going to take time,” he said, “but places that were too far to drive to for work in the past will no longer be so.” As for the Hartford Line’s » RAIL LINE

Erin Santa Mercede leaving family business behind to become BRBC leadership director BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

B

eing part of the fourth generation of a family to run a business can be a mixed blessing. There’s the opportunity to maintain and build upon a decades-old legacy — but there’s also a chance that workplace disagreements can carry over to the family dinner table. According to Erin Santa Mercede, however, that has never been the case at Bridgeport’s Santa Energy Corp. The oldest great-granddaughter of Stephen and Madelyn Santa, who started the company in Stratford in 1940, Mercede was employed there from 2013 through this summer, rising from senior financial analyst to wholesale division senior energy support coordinator. On July 9, Mercede will take over as director of leadership programs at the Bridgeport Regional Business Council, replacing Gwendolyn Brantley, who left in June to devote more time to Bridgeport’s Access Education Services, which she founded in 2005. To do so, Mercede said, she reluctantly had to say goodbye to the family business. Mercede’s father, Santa Energy President and CEO Thomas Santa, encouraged her to join the BRBC’s affiliate Leadership Greater Bridgeport (LGB) program, which works to help build future community leaders through training and education. “I’d just finished my MBA and really didn’t want to start taking classes again,” she said with a laugh. “But once I got involved I found that even though I’ve spent nearly my entire life in Bridgeport and my family is well-established here, there are all these hidden gems in the city. I met so many people in the community that I otherwise wouldn’t have. The experience inspired me to get more involved and really see what makes the city tick.” That in turn led to three years on LGB’s board of directors. Upon Brantley’s retirement, she said, “I thought, ‘You know what? I think I should be doing that.’” So did the BRBC, which received her application in late May and announced her hiring a couple of weeks later. “If I could clone the perfect person to be in charge of our leadership programs here at the BRBC,

it would indeed be Erin Mercede,” said the group’s president and CEO Mickey Herbert. “She has the background, the experience, the skills and most importantly the passion to grow these important value-added programs for our member companies. “As we continue to transform the BRBC, Erin is exactly the type of individual we need to do just that,” he said. “We simply could not be more delighted to have her join our staff.” As director of leadership programs, Mercede will be responsible for not only LGB but also THRIVE Emerging Leaders — which works to help diverse young professionals, entrepreneurs and community leaders build their connections within the greater Bridgeport region — and its chief executive peer networking group. Part of her mission, she said, is

to improve awareness of the BRBC and its various programs. “We have an amazing alumni network of over 800 people, including some major business leaders,” she said. “I want us to be able to sing from the rooftops about what we do, where we have been and where we’re going.” Mercede said she would be drawing in part on her own relationships within the business community to build the BRBC’s profile. “It’s on me to make personal asks of people to join in and support us,” she said. “I’ve tried emails and they get lost. I want to talk face to face with business leaders — both those who know about our programs and those who don’t — about what they’re looking for with our leadership programs and listen to their opinions about what we can do to help grow our young professionals network. “I also plan to talk with other young professional networks both in Connecticut and around the country to get more ideas about what we can and should be doing,” she said. Although she said leaving Santa Energy is “bittersweet,” Mercede said the family has been “very excited for me. They’ve said that it sounds like something that’s right up my alley.” As for her father — who, after all, first encouraged her to join the BRBC — she reports, “He just said, ‘Erin, whatever makes you happy, I support it 100 percent.’ “I still don’t think he understands it,” she chuckled. “But it’s family, so I can’t get away from it! And I think I can always go back to it somewhere down the line.” As for Herbert, who has announced he’s leaving the BRBC on Nov. 1, Mercede said, “I’m really excited to work with him for the next few months. And I’m sure that whoever comes in to replace him will be a really great asset to the BRBC, re-energize it a little bit, and know what an asset the BRBC is and can be to the area.”

Suite Talk John Arenas at Serendipity Labs

A

lthough he didn’t invent the coworking concept, Serendipity Labs Founder and CEO John Arenas has become something of the de facto face of the phenomenon via interviews with the likes of The Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, CNBC and of course the Business Journal. Since starting Serendipity Labs in his hometown of Rye, New York, in 2011, Arenas has seen his business grow to encompass an ever-increasing number of locations — 13 to date, with several due to open later this year, including a second operation in both Denver and the DallasFort Worth area scheduled to open in September and a second Los Angeles locale set to roll out in November. And nearly a year ago the company announced a joint venture with Chinese coworking titan UrWork, which includes a 34,000-squarefoot office in the Manhattan Financial District. The two companies also are connecting their networks to allow their members to use any of their locations throughout the U.S. and China. But is it all (co)work and no play for this entrepreneur, whose regional reach also includes a recently expanded office in Stamford? Business Journal reporter Kevin Zimmerman recently spoke with Arenas to find out. It seems like whenever we talk there’s another new Serendipity Labs opening somewhere. Are you surprised at all by your growth, or by that of the coworking sector at large? “When you’ve been evangelizing for something for so long, you’re surprised when it finally happens. You can always be right if you say something for long enough!” In addition to what’s already open and what’s been announced, what

What’s your biggest challenge today? “Knowing that the world is cyclical and that economies can be cyclical. Unexpected things can happen. Having been through three or four economic cycles in this area has taught me a lot. Today we try to plan and cover ourselves for those possibilities — we built this business to withstand those changes. As a result, we’re not going to go out at a blistering pace of expansion.” Has there been a particular mentor during your career? “I worked for a real estate developer, and the CEO there was an amazingly experienced guy. He’s really the one who taught me that there are two categories of everything: What to do and what not to do. He’s now deceased, but he helped me to figure out what to focus on and what to avoid — it’s still something I use today, and I encourage my employees to take the same approach.”

else is in the works for Serendipity Labs? “Right now we have five in design, five or six under construction, and we’ve signed letters of intent for leases in another five or six locations. One of those is for White Plains, but it’s still too early to talk about the details there. But that will be great for us and for White Plains.” How so? “As with any of our locations, it helps with the whole live-work-play environment that everyone’s talking about. And we want to have a presence in the suburbs as well as urban centers like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and so on. We also plan to add another in Connecticut at a location that’s still to be determined.”

I grew up as a latchkey kid. We knew our parents were around somewhere – we just didn’t know where they were.

I think a lot of people wonder how someone gets into the coworking business, but for you it was sort of a natural progression, wasn’t it? “My dad was an urban planner, so I’ve had ideas about how transportation and employment can affect each other for as long as I can remember. After college I became a civil engineer and then started getting interested in creating a network of places for people to work — people I called by the futuristic-sounding term ‘urbanauts.’ “My first real brand was Stratis Business Centers, which grew to be an 11-state network of suburban office centers around the country that offered people an opportunity to improve the quality of their working

life. After the acquisition by Regus (the international workspace provider now known as IWG), I stayed on for a few years before going off and creating (online reservation system for sourcing office space, meeting space and other workspace) Worktopia, which as the name indicates was meant to provide a utopian way of working — the next generation of how to work that wasn’t constrained by time, place and a physical location. “(When Worktopia was acquired by SignUp4 in 2011 — itself acquired by CVent for $22.4 million in 2015) I still felt the concept was right, it was just that the market wasn’t quite ready yet. Now with Serendipity Labs, it feels like we’re at the right place at the right time — finally!”

Was there a major influencer on your personal life as you were growing up? “No. I grew up as a latchkey kid like a lot of kids did in the ’70s and ’80s. When you’re in that kind of situation you look to each other to kind of find your way. It was like ‘Stand By Me’ or ‘The Wonder Years.’ The kids knew their parents were around somewhere — we just didn’t know where they were. “That kind of experience guides you in terms of your self-reliance and your agility in relationships, and it really helps make you who you are.” Have there been any business books you’ve found to be particularly valuable? “I’ve stopped reading those (laughs). I’m in the business of doing business with people, and those sorts of relationships don’t really


change — even with millennials it’s not that different. I’m more likely to go to the Old Testament or the Gospels for advice. With business books, anything I’ve ever read, it seems like it’s all been captured. It’s not that I know everything, but that everything is known.” What do you do in your spare time — assuming there is such a thing for you? “It’s important to have spare time. If you’re not taking time off, you’re missing out on something essential, both in terms of your own needs and the needs of others. It’s easy to tell yourself that your vocation is your avocation — especially when things are going well — but it’s important to have those

other outlets. I do a lot of volunteering — it’s really rewarding to help others, who in turn can end up helping others themselves. I volunteer at the Jay Heritage Center (in Rye) and have helped with the restoration of the Peter Augustus Jay House there. I’ve helped the Rye Arts Center work on their strategy to point it in the right direction for growth. Most recently I’ve gotten involved with the building of a new church in Purchase (New York), which will be the first in over 300 years. (Trinity Presbyterian Church, which owns three plots of land there, wants to build a 26,000-square-foot facility with 130 parking spaces

to accommodate its growing congregation; some residents have objected to the plan.) They’re going through an appeals process now, which is something I know how to do. I also love to be on the water — on my boat or powerboarding. I’m at that stage of my life — my youngest girl is in high school and I have no grandkids to play with yet.” Who do you turn to for advice these days? “My wife of 24 years, Kim. We really enjoy each other’s company. She’s seen me go through different cycles of my career, building companies up from nothing — and to her it’s not every impressive, which is nice. She’s my toughest but best critic.”

Bridgewater Associates plans new partnership structure

use this form of mail archiving, maintaining a master set of the files that remains unchanged, and permanently backed up, provides another level of protection.

ELLEN ROSENBAUM Protecting your data from both loss and exposure has become increasingly important in today’s business environment. Data breaches, natural disasters, and simple human error can all lead to unexpected and costly disruptions to your business activities. PROTECTING YOUR DATA FROM LOSS If you’ve ever lost hours of work because you created a document, lost power, and realized you haven’t pressed the save button…. you’ve experienced one of the common forms of data loss. Unfortunately, this is just one of the many ways in which individuals and businesses can lose data. Data loss can happen as a result of any of the following: • Software Failure (data corruption) • Hardware Failure or Damage (total loss) • Inadvertent Deletion (human error) • Malware/Virus Infections • Malicious Data Deletion, Theft, or Alteration (hacking or inappropriate access to data systems) The single most important thing you can do to prevent data loss is to regularly back it up. Since data can be lost in many different ways, it’s useful to think about the nature of the data, where it is stored, how it is accessed, and the ways in which it is used to guide your decisions regarding the types and frequency of performing a backup.

estport-based Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund, is being reorganized into a partnership structure that will cede more control to top executives. The $150 billion fund was founded Ray Dalio, who has run the business with his co-chief investment officers Bob Prince and Greg Jensen. In the new partnership structure, other senior executives within Bridgewater will have a greater voice in how the fund is managed and will also have a greater

economic stake in the business. Bridgewater Associates did not make a public statement on this executive change, which was announced in a corporate correspondence obtained by The New York Times. “This will both broaden the ownership across the firm and help us remain employee controlled for generations to come,” Bridgewater’s co-chief executives, David McCormick and Eileen Murray, wrote in a letter to the company’s clients. The Times, citing “people with direct knowledge of the matter,” added that Dalio has no plans to take

his company public. Nor has the exact nature of the new partnership structure been finalized, although the plan announced to Bridgewater clients could involve 50 individuals known as “employee partners” who already own what the company dubbed “phantom equity,” which allows them to reap some of Bridgewater’s profits without being owners of the firm. “Consistent with our way of operating, we are providing transparency of this progress to our employees and our clients, and we look forward to sharing further details as they emerge,” McCormick and Murray wrote in the letter to clients.

If your computer is in a small office, or a home office, you may be storing most of your data directly on the computer. Is the computer in a safe place, protected from physical access or damage? Are you backing up your data either locally, in the cloud, or both? If backing up locally, what kind of hardware are you using to back it up to and how old is it? How frequently do you test the viability of the backups? (Can the backed up files be opened and read if and when you need them?) Email represents a set of data that requires different attention when it comes to backup planning. If you are using a cloud-based service like Office 365, you may assume that you are well protected from data loss, since the email on your computer is only a copy of what is maintained in the cloud. It is advisable, however, to familiarize yourself with mailbox size limits, length of time a deleted email may be retrieved, and how accessible the backup of your individual mailbox is. Hosted email providers all have their own sets of policies and procedures. Many users choose to archive older mail to “PST” files in order to keep the size of the active mailbox smaller. However, using this form of archiving for backup can make the user more vulnerable to data loss because these files can easily become corrupt over time. If you

If you use a workstation in an office, chances are that the majority of your data is stored either on your network server(s) or in the cloud. In this instance, backups should be addressed by your network administrator or outsourced IT firm and the frequency and location of backups, plan for disaster recovery, and data retention periods should be documented. Make it a point to review with your network administrator “what if” scenarios, so that you can familiarize yourself with the options you have, if and when data loss occurs. PROTECTING YOUR DATA FROM DISCLOSURE Keeping your data private and protected from unauthorized access is a major concern. Depending upon the profession you are in, there may be serious financial, ethical, reputational, and legal risks if your confidential data gets into the hands of others. Being diligent about password-protecting your accounts and making sure to log out or lock access to your computer when away from your desk are essential first steps in protecting yourself. But there are many other measures you can use to protect your data from unauthorized access. Do you have an effective and password protected firewall in place for your wired and wireless networks as well as upto-date anti-virus software installed? Are you regularly applying operating system updates? When moving your data (i.e., sending emails, uploading via portals) are precautions such as data encryption and password protection being employed? When discarding equipment (including printers), do you take appropriate steps to destroy data on hard drives and other media? PROTECTING THE INTEGRITY OF YOUR DATA Data only remains valuable if its accuracy and consistency are maintained over time. Are there appropriate internal network security measures in place to restrict data modification to only those requiring it? Are you using current and supported hardware and software that will enable you to store and process your data accurately? Do you utilize maintenance warranties to ensure needed vendor assistance if problems arise? Do you employ quality control procedures and establish change control policies so that database and other system users are consistent in their methods for capturing and modifying data? GETTING STARTED Although we cannot entirely prevent data loss, disclosure, or tampering, greater awareness and concerted application of preventive actions can significantly reduce your risk of loss. Planning ahead and putting measures into place is critical to protecting your data and should be revisited and revised as necessary to reflect changes over time and to take advantage of improvements available to establish an increasing degree of protection.

could, wouldn’t that be kind of cool?” What Cadenza — which in addition to its Wilton headquarters maintains a development lab inside Duracell’s research facility in Bethel — is doing is developing a battery technology platform for license to global manufacturers. Initially targeting the electric vehicle and utility/grid storage markets, the company’s patented supercell serves as the cornerstone of what it calls its novel architecture as well as providing a simplified battery pack design. That in turn substantially reduces production and manufacturing costs, overcomes safety issues and improves energy density, according to the company. In 2004, LampeOnnerud, a native of Sweden, founded and served as CEO and chairman of BostonPower, another firm looking to provide improved batteries.

Any rail enhancements are going to help.” McGee said he remains hopeful that the seemingly immediate popularity of the new line will “build a

constituency for transit, and political support for transit will grow.” The politicians are sounding positive so far. Gov.

As for LampeOnnerud herself, among her other recognitions are an MIT Technology Review Young Innovator award and being named to the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year Hall of Fame. Lampe-Onnerud will participate in the World Economic Forum Annual “Meeting of the New Champions,” also known as “Summer Davos,” in Tianjin, China from Sept. 18-20. While the irony of returning to that country isn’t lost on her, she noted that China remains the world’s largest battery-maker in the world.

Malloy said ridership totaled 21,850 over those two days. “This project will improve lives, ease congestion, reduce pollution, and enhance our overall quality of life,” the governor said. “New transit-oriented development is already well underway along the line and we expect hundreds of thousands of passenger trips each year with healthy growth going forward.” “Finally having regular train service between Hartford and New Haven is a big deal,” said U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy, who voted for $191 million in federal funding to help construct the line. “If we want to grow jobs and attract young people to our state, we need to invest in smart public transportation.”


Former HR officer launches Lower Fairfield’s Mosquito Joe franchise

f Scott Shaw had any doubts about trading in a corporate position for running an insect-control franchise, a recent incident affirmed his career-shifting decision. “I was at a friend’s house with my daughter,” he recalled. “We were sitting at the table and a bug ran across her face. We grabbed it and it was a tick. The homeowner was mortified — she had not used our type of service before, but she will be using it now. She didn’t realize it was such a concern.” The service in question is Mosquito Joe, which provides residential and commercial properties with protection against mosquitoes, ticks and fleas. Shaw recently acquired the Lower Fairfield County franchise for Mosquito Joe, which is headquartered in Virginia Beach, Virginia and is now aiming to expand into the Northeast region. “I have two territories,” Shaw noted. “One runs from Greenwich to Norwalk, and next season I will open up from Norwalk to Bridgeport.” Shaw, who’s operating the franchise from his Larchmont, New York, home, learned about the franchise opportunity through a business broker. Bugs — at least

the six-legged kind — weren’t his area of expertise in his former professional life, which consisted of working in the compensation and benefits sector of human resources, most recently with General Electric. Shaw admitted that the path from human resources to insect extermination might seem a little odd. “It’s not a natural fit,” he said. “But I was looking for a business that had solid margins and a strong market. Many of my friends have young children and they were talking about being outside and having to check their kids every time they came in. Every time I spoke to folks in my circle, they said this was a fantastic idea.” It also helps Shaw’s new business that the region is seeing another year of an elevated tick population, which Shaw blamed on the erratic winter weather plus an overpopulation of deer that carry ticks. Shaw believed that it made better sense to buy into a franchise dedicated to insect eradication rather than starting one from scratch. “There is the time and expense of developing a brand, logo and strategy,” he said, “and you may spend a lot of money making mistakes on things that may not work for you in advertising. With a franchise, there is a

model that has been proven time and time again, and you are buying into that model.” Mosquito Joe customers have the option of a chemical-based insecticide or an organic alternative to eliminate the unwanted intruders. “Most of it is rosemaryand garlic-based,” Shaw said of the latter product. “It is primarily a repellent, as opposed to killing the bugs. We can put that on vegetables and flower gardens. Bugs and mosquitoes don’t like it.” Shaw kicked off his marketing of Mosquito Joe with a search engine optimization push along with a 30,000piece direct mail marketing campaign. “It is kind of old school,” he said about the direct mail effort. “And in many businesses, it doesn’t seem as effective as it used to be. But it is very effective in this business.” At the moment, the Mosquito Joe team consists of Shaw, an office manager and a technician who does the on-site work. Shaw is also out in the field, and he described the experience as being worlds removed from his old job. “The back packs that we use are about 80 pounds, with five gallons of waterbased pesticides,” he said. “You’re outside all day. However, I am in better shape than I was sitting behind a desk.”

The Benefits of IT Auditing

F

or any organization to survive and compete with other businesses, they need to invest in what is called “Information Technology (IT)”, which ensures data availability, integrity, and confidentiality. However, with the increase of internal and external threats, the IT system of a business could be exposed to potential risks. This is one of the main reasons why people invest in IT auditing services. IT audits cover a wide range of IT processing and communication infrastructure including web services, software applications, security systems, operating systems and client-server networks and systems. The audits are generally designed to ensure there are no weaknesses within your IT system, leaving you vulnerable for an attack. To understand more, let’s look at the importance of IT auditing and its benefits: THE IMPORTANCE OF IT AUDITING There are mainly three types of IT audits: Performance (or value-for-money), compliance to applicable, standards, laws, and policies, and financial statements audits. The objective of these audits is to find out

if there are any inefficiencies and inaccuracies in the management and in the use of a business’ IT system. The system works in a way that it first identifies risks in a business and then assesses them using advanced design controls, thus allowing you to think of an appropriate solution to help tackle those risks. Therefore, IT auditing is crucial for businesses looking to protect their IT systems and valuable information and data. THE BENEFITS OF IT AUDITING REDUCES RISKS RELATED TO IT One of the main benefits of IT auditing is that it can help tackle risks related to availability, integrity and confidentiality of information technology processes and infrastructure. They can also improve the reliability, effectiveness and efficiency of IT systems by covering a wide-range of threats by regular identification and assessment of risks in an organization. Therefore, once the risks are assessed, it provides the IT team in an organization clear vision on what course of action to take

to eliminate, reduce, or simply accept those risks as part of the operating environment through the use of IT audit controls. So, if your business is facing trouble in dealing with potential risks, then IT auditing may be the perfect solution for you. IMPROVES SECURITY OF DATA After assessing the risks mentioned above, IT audit control can be identified and assessed. Therefore, it gives organizations the opportunity to redesign or strengthen poorly designed or ineffective controls, thus leading to improved security of IT data. Usually a framework of IT controls is used for IT auditing, but now even more advanced set of technologies and tools are introduced, which even allows businesses to detect internal and external threats immediately and take a course of action automatically. ENHANCES IT GOVERNANCE Last, but not the least, IT auditing serves a critical function in ensuring all your business’ laws, regulations and compliances are met by all employees and of course the IT department as well. This in turn improves

IT governance, as the overall IT management has a strong understanding of the controls, risks and value of an organization’s technological environment. So, if your business is facing trouble, keeping its IT infrastructure and data secure, then perhaps it’s time you invest in an IT auditing service or system that is tailored according to your business’ needs and requirements.

GUEST COLUMN | By Christopher J. Wirth

Realtor Craig Oshrin takes a sociable approach to social media

I

t often seems that social media should be called “hostile media,” especially when the talk turns to poverty. But that kind of behavior doesn’t work in B2B messaging. This interview with Craig Oshrin, a Realtor in the Darien office of Coldwell Banker, was adapted from an episode of the No Quit Living Podcast. You are heavily and successfully involved in social media — not only in what you put out there, but how you connect with people and how influential you are with all the people you connect with on a daily basis. Where did that come from and how did you get to the level you are today? “My saying, which is very simple, is, ‘Be social on social media.’ It sounds very plain and simple, but at the time, what I want people to view their social media as is this big phone book where you can create the In Real Life (IRL) relationships. On my Oshrin.com website, I have a thing called the Oshrin Blog, and in there I had a titled blog called ‘Are We Facebook Friends?’ There is a difference between being in real life and being on Facebook or Snapchat or Instagram. I want you to use this every day to connect with new people and build IRLs. “So, being social on social media means that you have to connect. It’s great to post something, but you have to do a direct call to action, which gets people to engage with you, which shows and grows your value because people want to know that you can reciprocate when they’re giving you an opportunity to grow your business. People on social media all know that you have reach and you have engagement. The engagement is the most important component to it, and that’s your likes, your comments, and your shares. Use your rating fans, as Tim Ferriss says. Your rating fans are going to be the people

that will like your posts, will comment, will share it on their page. That creates that greater reach, so that way you’re connecting with people you might not even know.” One thing I’ve noticed online, especially on all your social media sites, is that you’re always adding value to others. And I think the biggest thing you do really well is you make real connections, not only for yourself, but others. So, do you have any advice for those looking to increase their social media footprint and maybe ultimately those actual connections of likes, comments, and shares? “It is important to come from a place of abundance. Don’t come from a place of just asking for something, but come from a place where you can offer value. For me, I like to engage business owners and entrepreneurs through Facebook live, through my coffee and espresso chats... I want to provide value and a platform where they can grow their business, because when you’re helping others, they’re going to help you in return. It’s just an automatic give, and it might not be today and it might not be tomorrow, maybe it’s next year. You have to be patient in what-

ever you’re doing to grow your business long term.” Were you always successful with your social media or was it a trial and error? “Spaghetti against the wall, my friends, spaghetti against the wall. When you try something and it doesn’t stick, you go back and you analyze it. When you try something and it doesn’t stick, you go back and you analyze it. You’ve got to try for mediocrity and then you can come back the next day and do it better and better, and better until people look at you and go, ‘You’re nailing this, you’re doing something so incredibly great and unique.’” Can you attribute any of your success to something speci�ic that you’ve done out of your comfort zone? “Every day, something that I think about is: “If I’m comfortable, I’m bored and if I’m bored, I’m not growing. Every day I want to be uncomfortable. I want to create so many tasks that at the end of the day, there are one or two tasks on my list of eight tasks or 10 tasks that I did not do, so I can come back the next day, perfect the other prior eight tasks, and then hop on to the two new tasks. Every day, if I’m uncomfortable, I’m growing; if I’m growing I’m in a position for long-term success.”

IS RIGHT AT YOUR FINGERTIPS.

ASK ANDI | Andi Gray

Clearing the air with an employee I don’t think this employee is a long-term player. Thinking more along the lines of how much can I get out of the situation short term. How do I �ind out if I’m on target?

BEWARE Outside companies are soliciting BUSINESS JOURNAL readers for plaques and other reproductions of Andi Gray

newspaper content without our consent. If you or your firm is interested in framing an article

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Do what’s uncomfortable: make your concerns known. Figure out how to tailor your message so that it will have the best chance of being received by the person you’re talking to. Check your ego at the door and listen carefully to what your employee has to say. Make sure you both have the same understanding of what’s expected and how that compares to what’s coming across now. Follow through until your concerns are resolved. Make your concerns known. Let your employee know that all is not right. Set up a time and place to meet where you both can talk freely. Have another manager attend to add perspective and take notes. Prepare ahead by making a list of concerns illustrated with specific examples. Ask other managers to tell you if they’re seeing the same problems. Decide what you want the employee to do differently or better. Be specific. Come to the meeting prepared with examples of how things need to change. If it’s only you who is seeing a problem, spend some time reflecting on why that is the case. If the employee reports directly to you, it may still be appropriate to proceed. If the employee reports to another manager, explain your concerns to the manager and jointly decide how best to proceed. Listen carefully to what your employee has to say. As the person in charge, it can be hard to relinquish control. Do it anyway. Give your employee permission to speak freely, even if it’s not all

positive. Look at the situation from your employee’s point of view. If you need time to think, end the meeting early, schedule a follow up. Figure out how to tailor your message so that it will have the best chance of being received by the person you’re talking to. Some people are better listeners, some are better visually and some need hands-on to best understand information that’s being relayed. Some people can respond right away and others need time to think and process. Some people are oriented to think in terms of tasks, others focus more on the people around them. What are the orientations of the employee you’ll be meeting with? Tailor your feedback and instructions to a format that works best for your employee. Practice delivering your message in that format. Make sure you both have the same understanding of what’s expected and how that compares to what’s coming across now. Check that you and the employee are both on the same page regarding what’s going on. Use specific examples and ask the employee how they see the same situations. Focus on examples of what really happened. Explain what you’d prefer to have happen. Ask the employee to help you understand why things are happening the way they are. Explain what you want to have happen as a result of this meeting and get agreement from the employee that such a thing is possible. Clarify understanding

by asking the employee to repeat back what’s expected. Follow through until your concerns are resolved. Giving feedback is a process, not an event. Be prepared for multiple interactions. Monitor behavior on a daily/weekly basis. Set times to get back together to discuss how things are going. If things are still off track, ask the employee why they think that is and what they think should happen next. Consider whether the problem is a lack of understanding, lack of skill or lack of motivation. Lack of skill equals arrange for training. For lack of understanding, ask another person in the company to work side by side with the employee and provide feedback on what’s going on. If things don’t improve, or if there’s a lack of motivation, consider whether it’s time to assign the employee to another job or ask the employee to leave the company. LOOKING FOR A GOOD BOOK?

Town of Fairfield previews potential transit-oriented development BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

T

he Fairfield Town Plan and Zoning Commission teamed with the Fairfield Economic Development Commission to host a public meeting on June 26 that offered a preview of transit-oriented development (TOD) connected to the town’s two Metro-North train stations. Jim Wendt, Fairfield’s planning director, noted this was the second attempt to encourage private development connected to the Fairfield Metro station. The initial private development application filed in 2005 called for 925,000 square feet of office property and 56,000 square feet of retail space tied to the creation of the station. While the train station opened in 2011, “The private development has not moved forward,” Wendt said. “The office market has certainly not been as robust as it was, and in 2008 it kind of crashed. The private side of the development has languished, but the public investment is there.” Wendt said that the mixed-use Trademark Fairfield development that opened in June 2017 was a first step in bringing new housing and retail opportunities within walking distance of the Fairfield Metro station. Trademark Fairfield, put together by Fairfieldbased developers Skala Partners and Abbey Road Advisors, added 101 apartments and about 15,000 square feet of space to the Commerce Drive landscape. Skala and Abbey Road are now planning to build a five-story mixeduse development at the

We are looking a lot at real estate market opportunities – who wants to work here, build here, shop here and why? ­­– Ben Carlson

corner of Kings Highway and Ash Creek Boulevard. That $55 million endeavor calls for 160 apartments and 22,000 square feet of ground-level retail space, which the developers expect to be occupied by two merchants. A parking facility with 480 spaces will also be built. Construction on that project is expected to begin by the end of the year and last into 2020. In a separate, previously announced deal, the former home of the Knights of Columbus at 333 Unquowa Road — less than 1,000 feet from the train station — will be turned into 90 apartments by developer Fairfield Residential.

That construction is also expected to get underway by year’s end. Both projects received approval from the town in April. Meanwhile, Ben Carlson, director of urban design and associate principal for the Boston-based architecture firm Goody Clancy, told the June 26 meeting that the greatest opportunity for development around Fairfield’s town

center was the former Exide Battery Co. site at 2190 Post Road, which has undergone a successful brownfield remediation clean-up. The Exide property has long been a figurative thorn in Fairfield’s side. Although lead-contaminated soil at the 6.25-acre parcel — where the company manufactured automobile batteries from 1950 to 1981 — had long since been

FCBJ

removed, lead contamination in the adjacent Mill River proved to be a more tenacious obstacle, requiring years of clean-up work. In 2016 Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were detected in select dredge sediment samples at the site, resulting in a mandatory review by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Fairfield’s Economic Development department finally announced that clean-up work had been completed last July. Even so, Carlson admitted that site stretched the limits of transit-oriented development. “The Exide site is a bit of a long walk to the station, so it is not super-convenient for living and working if you take the train,” he acknowledged. “But it might work if there was a shuttle connection.” Carlson, whose firm was contracted by the town to handle the zoning and urban design aspects of the project, noted that it’s within a three-quarter of a mile radius around the two train stations. “That’s about the farthest that most people will be walking to the train on a regular basis,” he said. “That’s 9 percent of all land in town, but that accounts for 27 percent of your property tax revenue, a three-fold relationship.” But the property tax revenue is unevenly divided between the stations, Carlson added, with the town center generating 22 percent and the Fairfield Metro area contributing only 5 percent. Also, he pointed out, there was less opportunity for new commercial development in the town center, which is already home to much of Fairfield’s retail activity. » » FAIRFIELD

SPECIAL REPORT | By Edward Jordan

Popularity of short-term rentals benefits investors in the Hudson Valley

T

Renting units on a shortterm basis requires more intensive management and implies higher vacancy risk than the typical 12-month lease business plan. That said, submarkets with more transient demand — think tourist destinations, hubs for business travelers and higher education institutions — are prime locations for this approach. Proof of this strategy’s effectiveness, roughly 65 percent of booked nights in short-term rental properties occur in multifamily buildings.

he popularity of short-term rentals continues to rise among hosts and guests alike. Today, Airbnb boasts more than 5 million listings and has reshaped both the real estate and hospitality markets, earning it third place on CNBC’s 2018 Disruptor 50 list. As the short-term rental industry has expanded, multifamily investors have benefited from a lucrative means for increasing revenue per unit. At this late stage in the investment cycle, with multifamily assets trading at record highs, investors are seeking creative strategies for increasing income to maximize returns — a furnished short-term rental strategy is one such approach.

SHORT-TERM RENTALS IN CONNECTICUT

Airbnb reports that 6,900 guest stays earning nearly $2 million were logged across Bridgeport,

Danbury, Greenwich, Norwalk and Stamford from November 2016 through October 2017, with Greenwich and Stamford ranking in Connecticut’s “top 10” for the time period. Nearby New Haven, which is home to Yale University and a health sciences population, brought in $2.2 million from 15,000 guests in 2017, making it Connecticut’s largest Airbnb market. With demand for traditional 12-month multifamily housing driven by the local workforce, and demand for short-term furnished rentals driven by students, business travel and tourism in these markets, multifamily investors may take advantage of dual strategies to increase income and maintain strong occupan-

cy rates on well-positioned assets. Absent this potential income growth, current pricing for value-add Class-B and Class-C assets may appear less attractive to income investors. As always, the market must incentivize investors to take the financial risks and make the capital improvements necessary to bring desirable housing units to market.

THE HUDSON VALLEY

Government regulation might be seen as an unconstitutional restriction on individual property rights.

While reports indicate more than 3,000 new apartment units opened in Westchester County during 2016 and 2017, demand is still outpacing supply. The number of new units coming online is projected to soon reach as many as 2,000 per year in an effort

to meet demand from locals and those who have been priced out of New York City. In neighboring Dutchess County, which receives more than 4.75 million visitors annually, short-term rentals have impacted the tourism industry. Airbnb bookings in Beacon rose by a reported 62 percent in 2017, while Realtors note communities such as Millbrook and Rhinebeck are also desirable. Not only landlords benefit from offering shortterm furnished rentals via Airbnb and other online platforms. Many tenants are also inclined to offer their individual units for short-term stays, although this practice is more popular with younger renters.

rentals offered via online platforms. They maintain that when landlords set aside units for short-term use, they leave fewer units available for workforce tenants on 12-month leases. While some municipalities aim to regulate the shortterm rental industry in the hopes of maintaining access to affordable housing for residents, advocacy groups such as the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY) are encouraging

officials to establish policies that are equally friendly to landlords and tenants alike. For example, as New York City strives to establish a central database of short-term rental properties, REBNY has suggested this data be made available to property owners so they can control illegal activity within their own buildings. That said, government regulation might be seen by investors and tenants alike as an unconstitutional restriction on individual property rights. Property owners who choose to rent their property on a longterm basis or as a shortterm rental both have the same protections under our constitution. “Short-term rentals and other aspects of the sharing economy are examples of technology-enabled innovation that have been good for consumer choice. It will be bad for everyone if cities and states thwart those strong ideas through the blunt force of regulation,” said Patrick Tuohey, director of Municipal Policy at the Show-Me Institute. Edward Jordan is the founder and managing director of Northeast Private Client Group, an investment real estate firm with offices in White Plains and Shelton. He can be reached at ejordan@northeastpcg.com.

Carlson said. “We are looking at the fiscal benefits for Fairfield. These are some of the most important sites in town — or could be, in terms of revenue — moving forward.” Carlson announced that the town will be holding additional public meetings in September, October, November and January to gather input from the community on development ideas and to offer previews of potential commercial property additions to the Fairfield landscape. “We have a lot of homework to do,” he said. “We’re going to think about where is change going to happen.

We are identifying sites where property values are significantly below their economic potential. We can look at property values and get a sense of where things might happen and where they might not happen — there are some properties you might look at and think they were a little scruffy, but were they worth the effort for redevelopment? “We will try to understand which property owners are motivated to invest or sell,” Carlson continued. “We have been meeting with some of the property owners and getting a sense of what their goals are.”

Edward Jordan

The National Multifamily Housing Council’s 2017 Renter Preferences Survey found nearly half of apartment renters under the age of 25 (49 percent) were interested in the opportunity to generate income through short-term rentals, compared to only 15 percent of renters age 65 and over. Affordable housing advocates complain about market distortion caused by the growth of short-term

Carlson said that the Fairfield project is being divided between his firm and three additional companies: Annapolis, Maryland-based W-ZHA will be handling the office and retail side of the project development; Clifton, New Jersey-based Zimmerman/ Volk Associates will explore housing opportunities; and Watertown, Massachusetts-based VHB will handle the infrastructure issues related to new development. “We are looking a lot at real estate market opportunities — who wants to work here, build here, shop here and why?”

reated in the spirit of the Gilded Age, Greystone on Hudson is a collection of twenty-one individually designed two- to five-acre estates with breathtaking views of the Hudson River inspired by the neighboring turn-ofthe-century mansions of America’s most illustrious families. As soon as we first passed through the gates of Greystone, we felt this was the most incredible place we had ever seen, and we had to be the ones to restore it to its natural beauty. We were captured by the magical views and the grand history of the location. It is literally surrounded by castles, the family homes of some of the nation’s most important industrialists, constructed over the past hundred and fifty years. As we researched the history of Greystone we learned that the Hudson River Gold Coast was born on the land of Greystone on Hudson. The string of magnificent private estates stretching from Greystone on Hudson to the Rockefeller compound Kykuit gained the name “Millionaire’s Row” and encompassed many of the most opulent homes of Westchester’s golden age of high society, including Jay Gould’s neighboring Lyndhurst Castle and the surrounding Astor, Morgan, and Lehman manors. We subdivided the land into 21 two- to five- acre estates and, once approved, started building the infrastructure, which includes a fairytale gate house with 24/7 doorman and concierge services, and a tree-lined road with 100-year-old specimen trees. The team was inspired by immersing themselves in the history of the site, studying both the architecture and the modes of construction. Our design and level of craftsmanship are a tribute to the legendary neighboring Gilded Age mansions. We recently launched our first house and we sold it in 9 days for $9,000,000. It was the highest price sale in Westchester County at the time. We were so excited to see our vision become a reality and to hear the amazing feedback from realtors and clients alike. We currently have 8 homes that are either sold, built or under contract. Our clients are top businessmen, sports stars and entertainers. While our team has many other projects, including current projects in the Hamptons and Bedford, Greystone on Hudson has been a oncein-a-lifetime development that will set the standard for luxury building in the area for years to come. https://greystone-on-hudson.com/introduction

The Neighbors Helping Neighbors grants provide the funds needed to help families break the cycle of poverty.

THREE KENNEDY CENTER REPS ATTEND SOURCEAMERICA GRASSROOTS ADVOCACY CONFERENCE IN D.C. The Kennedy Center joined with dozens of other nonprofit agencies throughout the country to advocate on behalf of disability employment issues at the SourceAmerica Grassroots Advocacy Conference in Washington, D.C., June 12 to15. Headquartered in Trumbull, The Kennedy Center was the only agency from Connecticut that participated in the national conference. Each year, SourceAmerica — a 501(c)(3) national leader in disability employment and choices — hosts member nonprofits for training sessions on how to present their case for better employment options for people with disabilities to lawmakers. Three representatives from The Kennedy Center participated, including Richard Sebastian Jr. of Shelton, president and CEO; Ginger Fiore of Seymour, executive assistant; and Leah Palmer of Trumbull, member of the center’s board of directors and one of 56 self-advocates. Sebastian has attended the SourceAmerica Conference for 10 years and has been affiliated with the organization for 20 years. This year he was the co-leader of the self-advocate training session. “We are in D.C. to advocate for more opportunity to create employment for our nation’s largest untapped labor force; people who have disabilities,” Sebastian said. “The shortest distance between two people are our stories. We are here to tell our stories.” The Kennedy Center was founded in 1951. It is an internationally accredited, nonprofit, community-based rehabilitation organization that serves more than 2,000 individuals annually. The agency actively responds to the needs of the community by offering innovative, comprehensive service options to persons with disabilities and special needs, from birth to senior years. Established in 1974, SourceAmerica creates job opportunities for a skilled and dedicated workforce of people with significant disabilities.

NURSING CARE AT EDGEHILL RECEIVES NATIONAL QUALITY AWARD The skilled nursing care unit at Edgehill in Stamford has been awarded a 2018 Bronze Commitment to Quality Award by the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL). Edgehill is one of three continuing care retirement communities (CCRC) under the umbrella of Benchmark, a provider of senior living services in the Northeast. All three of its skilled nursing care units have received the award. The award is the first of three distinctions possible through the AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program, which honors long-term and skilled nursing care providers that have demonstrated commitment to improving the quality of care for seniors and persons with disabilities. Skilled nursing care represents a single step in the full continuum of care, including independent living, assisted living and memory care, offered at CCRCs such as Edgehill. “We are honored to be one of a select few providers to win this award in Connecticut,” said Christopher Barstein, Edgehill executive director. “Our mission is to provide the highest standard of care to our residents. The compassion of our staff is shown in every individual interaction and every detail of our campus.” “We have a very dedicated team of associates in our skilled nursing unit who work tirelessly to provide the best patient-centered care,” said Sandra Bardsley, Benchmark’s regional director of skilled care operations. “We are excited and humbled to have received this recognition.” The award program has three levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold. Providers begin the quality improvement process at the Bronze level, where they develop an organizational profile with fundamental performance elements such as vision and mission statements and key strengths and challenges. Recipients may now move forward in developing approaches and achieving performance levels that meet the criteria required for the Silver Achievement in Quality Award. All three Benchmark communities will be honored along with colleague recipient organizations during AHCA/NCAL’s 69th annual Convention and Expositions, Oct. 7 to 10, in San Diego, California. Edgehill is a Type A Lifecare, all-inclusive continuing care retirement community. As part of the Edgehill Advantage, the community offers maintenance-free senior housing, a wide variety of premium services and amenities and a full continuum of on-site health care.

A.G. WILLIAMS PAINTING RENOVATES GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH IN STAMFORD

Greenwich Hospital President and CEO Norman G. Roth with the event’s honoree Patricia Calayag, M.D., director of obstetrics and gynecology at Greenwich Hospital and deputy medical director at Westmed Medical Group.

George Williams, the president and CEO of A.G Williams Painting Co. in Pelham, New York, and Greenwich, took a special interest in Father Harry Pappas of Archangels Church in Stamford after hearing him preach and teach while assisting part time in the church Williams attended in New Rochelle, New York. Because of his high regard for Pappas and his own desire to give back to the community, Williams offered the services of his painting company to Pappas whenever needed. Sure enough, the church, built in 1958, was in need of repair. Williams provided all labor (at one point involving 12 to 15 men), supplies and material to paint the entire interior, which involved a high dome, curved walls, a balcony, resurfacing part of the wall in the altar area, some wood trim and a variety of other repairs. “Everyone on our team at A.G. Williams understands the importance of giving back to the community in the towns where we live and worship,” Williams said. “Father Pappas and the Archangels Church have done wonderful work in the community in Stamford and we are only too happy to offer our help in keeping the church up to date and in excellent condition.” “Our community publicly and enthusiastically recognized and thanked George and his family for such generous and extraordinary benefaction,” said Pappas. A.G. Williams Painting Co. Inc. is a fourth-generation family-owned-and -operated residential and commercial painting firm founded in 1906 by Arthur George Williams.

CAROLINE JONES PERFORMS AT SOLD-OUT BENEFIT This year’s Greenwich Hospital Under the Stars benefit raised more than $600,000 for Women’s and Children’s Health at Greenwich Hospital. A sold-out crowd of more than 400 supporters gathered at Riverside Yacht Club on June 22 to enjoy a special night of music in support of a most important cause. Greenwich residents and second time co-chairs Andrea Sinkin Jaffe and Jennifer Turano led an enthusiastic committee of more than 30 volunteers. “Greenwich Hospital has served both of our families more times than we can count, for ourselves, our children, our parents and of course, our neighbors and friends,” said Jaffe. “To imagine we could somehow just slightly tip the scale and help this incredible organization to stay at the top of its game fills us both with immense pride and gratitude,” An extensive silent auction of one-of-a-kind items was available during cocktail hour while local DJ and former event co-chair April Larken set the spirited tone of the evening. A tent outside the clubhouse was transformed by Sebass Events and Entertainment to evoke a cozy yet contemporary farmhouse aesthetic, and Jeff Glor of the CBS Evening News served as master of ceremonies for the second year in a row. Greenwich Hospital President and CEO Norman G. Roth spoke about the importance of raising money for Women’s and Children’s Health and some of the hospital’s recent achievements. “Last month and for the fifth consecutive year, we received the Women’s Choice Award as one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Patient Experience – the only hospital in Fairfield County to receive this recognition,” said Roth. He continued by noting the tremendous growth that has taken place in the hospital’s NICU since the inception of the event 20 years ago, the hospital’s reputation for maternity services with patients travelling up to 50 miles to deliver in Greenwich, and an affiliation with Yale New Haven Health that has strengthened many service areas. “Most recently, our partnership with Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital has brought the region’s most advanced children’s emergency room services to Greenwich, giving parents peace of mind with the additional level of expertise that pediatric emergency medicine specialists bring to families in our area,” he said. Dr. Patricia Calayag, director of obstetrics and gynecology at Greenwich Hospital and deputy medical director at Westmed Medical Group, was the event’s honoree. Country-pop singer and Greenwich native Caroline Jones performed immediately after the live auction.

Fairfield County’s Community Foundation (FCCF) recently hosted its annual donor appreciation luncheon, which included founding donors, Future Society members and many others who are passionate about the organization and its mission. The event, held at the Roger Sherman Inn in New Canaan, celebrated a year of accomplishments made possible through the generosity and commitment of its patrons. The year’s achievements were highlighted in a brief overview by Juanita James, president and CEO, Fairfield County’s Community Foundation. “I want to thank you for believing in our work, supporting our programs and sharing our vision for a vital and inclusive community where every individual has the opportunity to thrive,” James said. “Because of our partnerships, with you in the room and with many others who couldn’t join us, our programs and activities create impact and are working to close the opportunity gap that is all too prevalent in Fairfield County,” she continued. Connecticut Association for Human Services (CAHS) CEO Jim Horan was the guest speaker, sharing his insights on inequities and the opportunity gap in Fairfield County and throughout Connecticut. “Fairfield County’s Community Foundation has generously supported the Connecticut Association for Human Services’ program work with competitive grants made possible primarily with grants from endowed funds established through planned giving,” Horan said. “Moving forward, to build opportunity, CAHS would like to see more collective impact initiatives, where state and local government, philanthropy, nonprofits and others are aligned to achieve major social goals.” For more, visit FCCFoundation.org.

The Nathaniel Witherell — widely recognized for its therapeutic recreation program that features fitness classes, art and music therapy, pet therapy, events and celebrations and spiritual services – has appointed Carissa Ronish of Greenwich as its new administrator of therapeutic recreation. “Carissa brings an impressive background in creating new and engaging therapeutic programs for the elderly to the Witherell and has experience working with those with physical and cognitive challenges,” said Witherell Executive Director Allen Brown. Consistently ranked “one of the best nursing homes in Connecticut” by U.S. News & World Report, the Witherell’s therapeutic recreation program is designed to keep residents active and engaged, and is tailored to individual needs. Prior to joining the Witherell, Ronish was therapeutic recreation director and volunteer coordinator at Benchmark Senior Living at Edgehill in Stamford.
