New president, old values on a changing campus BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfariinc.com

F it was awarding grants of $35,000 to 15 of it s or i g i na l nonprof it recipients, including Westpor t ’s CLASP Homes, Homes with Hope, the Westport Historical Society, Westport Libraryand Westport Volunteer EMS; Norwalk’s Maritime Aquarium, Carver Foundation and Norwalk Hospital; and Fairfield’s Save the Children. Since Newman’s death in 2008, more than $239.3 million has been given to charity, representing 48 percent of the foundation’s total donations, compared with $260.5 million given away in the previous 26 years. The fund’s compounded annual growth rate over the past nine years is 5 percent. Impressive — or, as one of Newman’s Own’s pasta sauces would have it, “sockarooni” — numbers, which Newman himself would have been bowled over by, according to Newman’s Own President and CEO Robert H. Forrester. Speaking from the company’s headquarters at 1 Morningside Drive North in

airfield University is a campus busy with change — and Mark R. Nemec is busy newly leading it. Having recently extended Fairfield Rising, the largest capital fundraising campaign in the school’s history, through 2018 with a target of $210 million and in the midst of a plethora of new construction and renovation projects, the Jesuit university started this academic year with a new president. Nemec is the ninth person to hold that job and, notably to some, the first non-Jesuit priest to be named to the post in the private university’s 75-year history. Allowing that no interview can go without mentioning that singular distinction of his, Nemec told the Business Journal during a recent visit that any trepidations about having a layman in charge of the school are ill-founded. Having graduated from Loyola High School of Los Angeles, a Jesuit preparatory school, Nemec identifies himself as an Ignatian — after St. Ignatius of Loyola, who founded the Jesuit religious society for men in the 16th century. All of Fairfield’s presidents have been Ignatians. “Our core values will remain the same,” he said. “All this means is that those values may be interpreted from a slightly different perspective.” “I see myself as a steward of those core values. Fairfield University has always maintained that education is not an end in and of itself. Giving students an education as individuals, teaching them how to think on their own and work with teams in a mutually beneficial way, is of utmost importance,” he said. Speaking on a terrace outside the his office — “I like to get away from my desk whenever I can” — Nemec said the challeng-

Newman's Own keeps the giving fresh at 35 BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

“I

don't think there's anything exceptional or noble in being philanthropic. It's the other attitude that confuses me.” So said Paul Newman in a 2002 interview with “Film Monthly”, responding to a question about Newman’s Own. Based in Westport, the food company, which Newman started with longtime friend and author A.E Hotchner, is observing its 35th anniversary this year. It remains a testament to the work that the legendary star of “Cool Hand Luke,” “The Sting” and count-

less other movies did offscreen. Beginning with a simple olive oil-andvinegar salad dressing — its first 500 cases shipped to Stew Leonard’s in Norwalk on Aug. 25, 1982 — Newman’s Own today offers over 300 products for sale, with 100 percent of its profits going to charities around the world. To date, more than $495 million has been donated to charitable organizations, with the Newman’s Own Foundation, created in 2005, now supporting about 600 grantees each year. “The embarrassing thing is that my salad dressing is outgrossing my films,” Newman once quipped. In recognition of the food company’s anniversary, the Newman’s Own Foundation last month announced

pon entering the Bridgeport offices of WPKN-FM, it is difficult not to notice the walls — or the lack thereof. Throughout most of the offices, the space between the floor and ceiling consists of shelving packed with a jaw-dropping quantity of vinyl records and compact discs. “We have 70,000 albums and 70,000 CDs,” said Steve di Costanzo, the station’s general manager. Even more remarkable than the quantity of recordings is the diversity of music played within these walls: from classic rock to vintage jazz and folk tunes, from a globespanning gamut of world music to the tight little sphere of Connecticut’s indie music scene, and from landmark classical compositions to obscure selections in the realm of outsider music the selection is staggering. Then again, musical diversity is what drives many listeners to WPKN’s 89.5 slot on the FM dial — including di Costanzo. “I’ve always been a huge fan of music,” he said. “I was captivated listening to WPKN — there was music from North Africa, the Middle East and India. I heard great psychedelic music, and blues and jazz.” Also enjoying the wide spectrum of selections were the editors of Connecticut magazine, which named WPKN as the state’s best radio station for music in its newly released “best of” rankings. “It was a complete surprise,” said di Costanzo. “There was no lobbying, no reader poll. I don’t think we were ever awarded it before. For a humble community radio station competing against AAA-format commercial stations, it’s really exciting for us to be selected.” WPKN began in 1963 as the campus radio station of the University of Bridgeport; the call letters stand for Purple Knights Network, a tribute to the school’s sports mascot. In 1989, when the university was undergoing fiscal difficulties, it spun off WPKN as an independent nonprofit. The station retained its studios on campus in the Cox Student Center for a $10- a- year lease. “We are very good neighbors,” di Costanzo said, noting that many university students served internships at the station and have participated in special broadcasts. Di Costanzo arrived at the station in 2011 at a changing point in his life. A New York-based trade publishing executive who owned Golf Range magazine, he was in search of a new opportunity after selling the publication and relocating to Connecticut. Answering the FM station’s call for volunteers, di Costanzo arrived at its office thinking that he was going to be involved with a

public radio station rather than a community station. “I did not know that difference,” he said. “I am not from the radio background and I always assumed they were one and the same. When I first came in as a volunteer, I was saying ‘Why don’t we call ourselves a public radio station?’” The Fe der a l C om mu n ic at ion s Commission defines community radio as a noncommercial endeavor that is wholly supported by listeners, focuses on community issues and is staffed with unpaid programmers. “I am the only one with a full-time salary,” said di Costanzo, who became WPKN general manager in 2012 after serving on the station’s board of directors. “We have three independent contractors — a director of operations, an engineer and someone who handles underwriting — and 130 volunteers and 65 programmers in the age range of 18 to 82.” Nearly all of WPKN’s programs are original productions, although a couple of syndicated programs from the nonprofit Pacifica Foundation are incorporated into the mix. The station’s oldest running show, “Antique Blues” with Bill and Joan Nolan, has been broadcast for more than four decades. Di Costanzo noted that there is always a person manning the broadcast studio, regardless of the day or hour. “Except when a Nor’easter closes the place down, there has always been continuous output of programming,” he said. The station’s revenue comes in about equal portions from on-air fundraising, grants from philanthropic groups and special events, including the annual Music Mash record sale and music documentary screenings at Bridgeport’s Bijou Theatre. “Our budget is $300,000, which is pretty lean,” di Costanzo said. The station’s on-air fundraising in the last year has focused on covering the cost of a new transmitter and its installation. “The original transmitter came from the Empire State Building — we got it used about 40 years ago,” di Costanzo said. “Our engi-

neer said it has almost run out of steam — the tubes that it uses are almost impossible to source. So, we’re replacing it — and it’s about $50,000 to just buy a new one, and then there’s the installation fee.” The station has raised $65,000 but is still short of its $75,000 goal to cover installation costs, he said. With a 10,000-watt broadcast signal, “You can hear us in downtown Southampton and up and down the North Fork of Long Island, and in almost all of Fairfield, New Haven and Litchfield counties — a 1.5 million potential listenership,” said di Costanzo. The station has also been streaming online since 2008 and its public affairs programming has been repackaged as podcasts for downloading. “We have about 550 of those and in the last year-and-a-half we had 25,000 downloads,” the station manager said. Eager to grow his audience for listeners and potential donors, di Costanzo is looking to add more musical genres to station programming to fill current scheduling gaps. “We’ve been trying to add a rockabilly and a gospel show,” he said. “We used to have a big bluegrass show, but the programmer recently went down to Washington.” Expanding also its public affairs programming, “We have 25 shows that are specifically community shows, everything from organic farming and natural health and medicine to wellness, meditation,” said di Costanzo. We have an economic show. We just added an LGBTQ show — we are trying to reflect the needs of the community. We have a new show with BPT Generation Now, a grass-roots social group involved in the livability and political issues of Bridgeport.” While community radio cannot have paid advertising, di Costanzo is reaching out to local cultural organizations and nonprofits to create and air public service announcements highlighting their respective missions. “We’re all in this together and if we can be relevant and in their world and vice versa, it is a win-win situation,” he said.

A business built on kids teaching kids, in school and beyond BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

ith school in full swing, some students — or at least their parents — are already assessing the need for additional help in navigating new teachers and classes. While tutors will always be an option, a new concept — matching students with older high schoolers to provide support not just academically but also in extracurricular activities — is gaining momentum for Role Model Mentors, according to its CEO Derek Correia. “It’s really an example of the ‘takes a village to raise a child’ approach,” he said of

the for-profit enterprise formed in 2015 by Ridgefield residents Tim and Kristin Boylan. “By employing local, talented high school students, who are an underdeveloped asset in the workforce as mentors, it usually puts the mentee at ease. Which,” he laughed, “is especially helpful at a time when young adolescents are starting to view their parents as complete idiots.” Correia, who joined the Ridgefield-based company in 2016, said that such an approach has proven beneficial to both mentors and mentees. “‘I can’t wait for Mrs. Johnson to come over at 6:30 to teach me math,’ said no kid ever,” he quipped. “By matching someone who’s struggling with math and also has an interest in, say, lacrosse with an older student who’s maybe had the same teacher and shares a passion for that same sport, we establish a relatability that you’re not necessarily going to get with a former teacher or one who’s moonlighting as a tutor.” Such was the case with Phoebe Inall, who two years ago transferred to a new middle school, where she was struggling with math and French. “We’d had a tutor in elementary school,” said her mother, Tracy Inall, “but we were looking for a different type of experience for her and thought that a high schooler might be more appealing.” Ally Livingston, then a senior at Ridgefield High School, “was a great match,” the mother

of three said. “They both played volleyball, so in addition to meeting at our home once a week to talk about her classes, they were able to share that interest as well.” Results for her daughter were “pretty immediate,” Inall said. “She went from being a C student in French to an A. Ally had been through that program, knew the teachers and the study tips and tricks, what to focus on.” “It also helped build Phoebe’s self-confidence,” Inall added. “Because her grades were going up, she felt a little more prepared and better about herself.” When eighth grade rolled around for Phoebe and Livingston had graduated and moved on to college, the Inalls returned to Role Model Mentors and hooked up with Allie Cauchon. Another experienced French and math student, Cauchon was also a dancer, another interest of Phoebe's. Now a freshman at Ridgefield High, Phoebe “got so much out of it that she’s a Role Model Mentor herself now.” Not yet matched, she will be paired with an elementary school student who shares her interests, Inall said. Another Role Models Mentor client, Oli Landsman, of Bedford in Westchester County, was not so much in need of academic help as she was an older friend who could help her navigate the wilds of her new middle school, said her mother, Evyan Metzner. Caitlyn Ramage, a sophomore at Bedford’s Fox Lane High School, shared Oli’s

interests in dance, art and music. “They’d meet at our home or at a nearby park, depending on the weather,” Metzner said. “They played games, did crafts, danced. They even ended up making a video montage of everything they’d done.”

High school students Ally Livingston, left, and Phoebe Inall are part of a growing Ridgefield tutoring business, Role Model Mentors.

The mentors effectively work as entrepreneurs, said Correia. “They’re responsible for setting up appointments — usually once a week, but sometimes twice or more, depending on schedules. We help train them in how to develop a curriculum and focus on those who do well in school and have a range of extracurricular interests.” Correia said that much of Role Model’s marketing comes from word of mouth, as well as social media like Facebook and Instagram.

Women’s Business Development Council’s 20 years supporting women entrepreneurs.

Spotlight on Nancy Coffey: CEO of KTT Enterprises, a Women’s Business Development Council Success Story

ancy Coffey is the CEO of KTT Enterprises of Hamden. She has personal tenacity, a belief in her product and a willingness to grow and evolve as an entrepreneur. Founded in 2005, KTT Enterprises is a custom Talalay latex foam manufacturer and supplier producing a variety of products ranging from cosmetic applicators for the TV/film industry to custom foam mattresses and high-end furniture cushions. Nearly 100 percent of the products sold by KTT are fabricated in its 14,000-square-foot factory in Hamden. Using the sap from the rubber tree, their latex foam is made from renewable resources and is biodegradable and naturally hypoallergenic. Like many entrepreneurs, immediately after forming her business, Nancy realized she needed help. She turned to the Women’s Business Development Council for small-business training, education and counseling. Over a period of six years, Nancy took more than 10 training courses, resulting in more than 174 hours of small-business education and counseling. “Prior to taking Wom-

en’s Business Development Council small-business education courses, I was not business savvy enough to create a concrete business plan. The Women’s Business Development Council gave me the knowledge I needed to succeed through every stage of my business,” said Nancy. With this knowledge, KTT Enterprises has grown and is now WBENC certified and also certified to do business with the Federal government and the state of Connecticut. In particular, Nancy credits the Women’s Business Development Council for teaching her the importance of understanding personal and business finances and to hold herself completely accountable for her business finances. Through the Women’s Business Development Council’s Business Financial Management course, Nancy learned how to create and thoroughly understand her financial statement and use it as a strategic tool to grow her business. Since coming to the Women’s Business Development Council, Nancy has doubled the number of employees and her revenues have increased dramatically. After years of building one of the largest

women-owned manufacturing businesses in Connecticut, Nancy is a proud entrepreneur. She continues to enjoy her role as CEO, watching her business flourish as she contributes to Connecticut’s economy by creating jobs and taxpayers. “The Women’s Business Development Council was critical in the evolution of my business. It gave me the knowledge I needed to help create strategies to make our business operations more nimble and responsive to a rapidly changing environment in the various industries we serve,” said Nancy. “Nancy embodies the perseverance and dedication of so many of the women who have walked through our doors in the past 20 years to get the entrepreneurial training, financial education and access to capital that they need to help build their businesses,” said Fran Pastore, president and CEO, Women’s Business Development Council. “We need to support women business owners like Nancy now more than ever. Women-owned businesses are growing at an astounding 5-times faster rate than maleowned businesses nationally. Over the past year

Nancy Coffey

in Connecticut alone, 125,000 women-owned businesses have generated $16.5 billion in sales.” For 20 years the Women’s Business Development Council has been leading the way for this effort in Connecticut by providing women with entrepreneurial training, financial education and access to capital.

OCCUPATIONAL ILLNESS IN CT DOWN

The level of occupational illnesses in Connecticut is declining, but is still above the national rate, according to a new report issued by UConn Health. The report “Occupational Disease in Connecticut, 2017” tracked data from 2013 and 2015 and concluded the volume of submitted reports from individuals filing for workers’ compensation and health benefits to the Occupational Injury and Illness Surveillance System declined by 9 percent during this period, with a reporting rate of about 18 cases per 10,000 workers. The national rate is 17 cases per 10,000 workers. The data included reports of 7,525 unique occupational illness cases, consisting of 3,403 musculoskeletal conditions, 2,262 infectious disease cases, 511 respiratory complaints, 310 skin ailments and 1,039 cases of other illnesses.

Rates of occupational illnesses varied across the state, with the highest level in Cromwell (70.2 cases per 10,000 workers), while Stratford (44 cases per 10,000 workers) had the highest rate for Fairfield County. Among occupations, the greatest reports of occupational illnesses occurred among workers in state government (102.2) and local government (77), followed by transportation equipment manufacturing (57.5) and retail stores (52.9). “The greater use of primary preventive strategies such as ergonomics, the use of safer chemicals, more effective infection control, and improvements in indoor office and school environments can be applied more and more effectively to further reduce occupational illnesses and risk,” said Tim Morse, professor emeritus at UConn Health and the author of the report.

MILITARY MUSEUM CLOSES AFTER 22 YEARS

The U.S. Military Museum in Danbury has closed after 22 years. The Museum of American Armor in Old Bethpage, Long Island, was gifted the Danbury museum’s collection of 10,000 artifacts. Originally called the Military Museum of Southern New England, the U.S. Military Museum focused on 20th century combat, with a collection that encompassed an M18 Hellcat tank destroyer, plus uniforms,

military equipment, armored vehicles, uniforms and photographs. “The strength of our exhibits and the underlying mission have never wavered,” said Al Barto, secretary of the U.S. Military Museum. “From its first day to its last, this museum has been about paying tribute to the American G.I. and our defense of freedom. This is a difficult decision for us, but it was made with considerable care to ensure that the legacy of the U.S. Military Museum lives on by gifting our assets to the Museum of American Armor on Long Island.” The U.S. Military Museum at 125 Park Ave. was founded by John Valluzzo, who served in the U.S. Army during the late 1950s and self-funded the museum from his real estate business. In May 2013, Valluzzo was shot and killed by police who responded to a domestic dispute call at his Ridgefield home involving Valluzzo and his girlfriend. Police stated the 75-year-old Valluzzo was armed with a handgun. A subsequent investigation determined Valluzzo’s gun was unloaded, but a state attorney's report cleared police officer Jorge Romero, who fired the fatal shots, of wrongdoing. Valluzzo’s ex-wife Cynthia Kasper filed a lawsuit in the fall of 2015 to evict the museum from its Danbury location, but the museum was able to remain open until last month.

FDA APPROVES ACGT-FUNDED CANCER TREATMENT

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the nation’s first cancer gene therapy drug, which received its initial funding from Stamford-based Alliance for Cancer Gene Therapy (ACGT). Novartis’ CAR-T gene therapy drug Kymriah (tisagenlecleucel) will be used in the treatment of pediatric and young adult patients with a form of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The drug received $1 million in funding in 2004 from AGCT while it was still in development by Carl June of the University of Pennsylvania. ACGT provided an additional $800,000 of funding in 2008. ACGT noted their organization funded this research before government agencies and the pharmaceutical industry took notice of this endeavor. “This approval by the FDA of Kymriah CAR-T therapy is a major milestone in the successful treatment of cancer,” said John Walter, CEO and president of ACGT. “This is the first-ever true gene therapy treatment made available to the U.S. population and will help accelerate the speed at which we will see even more gene-based therapies come to fruition. It’s a very exciting time.” Since its founding in 2001, ACGT has allocated approximately $29 million in grants to U.S. and Canadian cancer gene therapy research projects. —Phil Hall

Newman's — » » From page 1

Westport, Forrester said Newman’s attitude toward business was best encapsulated by a sign that now hangs in its boardroom: "If we had a plan, we'd be screwed." “It’s a part of our heritage,” Forrester said. “He didn’t want Newman’s Own to be overly corporate but to rely on good ideas coming from our people and conversations instead of memos or committee meetings. It was part of the ‘creative chaos’ he’d experienced as an actor — that when the curtain goes up, what you see is the result of opinions being offered not just by actors and directors but also from drivers, the guy who brings in the coffee, and so on.” Forrester said that the 90 employees of Newman’s Own and the foundation are free to express their thoughts and opinions, including ideas as to potential grant recipients. Grants are awarded by invitation, meaning the foundation doesn’t seek solicitations, although it “respectfully” responds to all such queries. “We do our own research and get recommendations from colleagues, peers and others — and we do quite a bit of due diligence,” said Jan Schaefer, the foundation’s communications director. “We support organizations within our focus areas that fit specific criteria, including the ability to leverage foundation resources to stimulate giving from other sources.” Forrester, a veteran consultant to nonprofit organizations — he was founder, chairman and CEO for some 25 years of Payne, Forrester & Associates, an international consulting firm for nonprofits — was introduced to Newman by a mutual acquaintance in 1993. “We instantly became friends. Paul was at a point in his life when he’d begun to reflect more on what was most important to

es faced at Fairfield "are the same as at nearly any university. Fairfield by definition has always been about developing students from a broader range demographically. We need to think more globally when it comes to our students and provide them with the skills that they’ll need as they join the workforce.” “That’s not simply adding or expanding digital technology and online learning, but including more service learning — offering learning that is outside of the formal classroom, integrating community service and civic responsibility,” he said. “That’s what more and more employers are seeking from college graduates.” Nemec finds the university that he has joined in a strong position. It has steadily grown over the past 20 years from about 700

him, which led to the whole issue of philanthropy and working with people.” “He believed that everybody has the capacity to bring luck into people’s lives who were less fortunate,” said Forrester. “Paul always felt he’d been lucky to be born in America and to have a look that was right for movies, and that that was all luck of his circumstances, not of his own making.” After helping to turn around Newman’s first international Hole in the Wall Gang Camp for seriously ill children in Barretstown, Ireland, Forrester, an Avon resident, continued to work for Newman and his organization without pay for several years. He donated a substantial amount of his Payne, Forrester salary — reportedly around $2.7 million — to the actor’s charities. In 2005, Newman named Forrester as the first president and COO of the foundation and later as chairman and CEO of Newman’s Own Inc., as well as co-executor of the Hollywood star’s will. “With my background, it was like going from playing in the minor leagues to Yankee Stadium or Fenway Park,” Forrester said. “I looked at (running the foundation) as a privilege, and all these years later it’s still a privilege.” Forrester may have won Newman’s trust, but he did not with most of the rest of the clan. With revisions to the will — including at least one when the actor was seriously ill with the lung cancer that would claim his life and suffering from memory loss — long-promised funding of each of his and wife Joanne Woodward’s five daughters’ foundations was eliminated. Ill will has been the result among Newman’s survivors: “We had the rug pulled out from under us,” daughter Susan Newman told “Vanity Fair” in 2015. Also estranged from the organization was Nell Newman, a daughter of Newman and his second wife Woodward, who in 1993

had started the Newman’s Own Organics subsidiary. Originally picturing her and her father on those products’ labeling, they have featured only Paul since Nell’s license expired at the end of 2014. She now runs The Nell Newman Foundation in California, which awards grants in 10 core program areas, including the environment and education. She did not respond to requests for comment. Today, Woodward serves as honorary chair of the Newman’s Own Foundation, while daughter Clea Newman Soderlund is its vice president. No other Newman family members are involved with Newman’s Own. “It was Paul Newman’s wish to run the business independently, not as a family business,” Schaefer said. “The foundation was therefore set up by Paul as an independent, private foundation.” Organic food products, once a niche line relegated to specialty stores or a single shelf in larger grocery stores, have since become such a staple that the Newman’s Own company expects to launch several new organic products in the first quarter of 2018, according to Schaefer. Organic products now make up “nearly half” of its product line, she said. Keeping the Newman’s Own name going represents some unique challenges, although the fact that many of today’s younger consumers might not be familiar with either Newman the actor or Newman the philanthropist is nothing new, Forrester said. “That was already happening towards the end of his life,” he said, noting that Newman’s last onscreen movie role was in 2002’s “Road to Perdition.” “He actually enjoyed being known as ‘the guy on the salad dressing,’” Forrester chuckled. “I was with him and another guy at a function, and somebody came up thinking the other guy was Paul Newman. He liked that — it was never about him-

self. One of the great strengths of Newman’s Own was that it was never a personal thing for Paul.” While his celebrity was undeniably instrumental in the brand’s initial success, “He knew that people wouldn’t buy his products a second time if they didn’t taste good,” said Forrester. To that end, the company is continuing to experiment with new recipes to keep things fresh, and not just in terms of branding. “We’ve always been a company interested in providing food that features ingredients you can grow in a garden, not in a laboratory,” Forrester said. Producing food with an accent on nutrition is also of major importance, he added, though admitting that products like the company’s Alfredo sauce “probably wouldn’t be at the top of a dietician’s recommendations.” In addition to such recent additions as mayonnaise and barbecue sauce, Newman’s Own in the near term plans to introduce new pasta sauce and frozen pizza varieties alongside its ever-growing list of salad dressings, salsa, lemonade, cookies, snacks and pet food. Schaefer said the private company does not disclose revenue figures. D&B Hoovers, Dun & Bradstreet’s online data consultant for businesses, estimates Newman Own’s annual revenue at approximately $10.65 million. The Westport company still faces the challenges of going up against the behemoths of the food industry, Forrester said. But as long as it maintains its collaborative and charitable course, he said, Newman’s Own remains well-positioned for continued success. Not bad for a business that Newman himself once remarked “started as a joke and got out of control.”

graduate students to over 1,000 and its total student body stands at about 5,000. Over the past five years, the university has reported a 97 percent employment rate for its students after graduation. Nemec succeeds the university’s eighth president, the Rev. Jeffrey von Arx, who left in 2016 to lead the LaFarge House Jesuit Community in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and was replaced on an interim basis by Heather Babington, who had been provost and senior vice president for academic affairs. Babington left Fairfield this summer to become president of Chaminade University in Honolulu. “My charge over the next five to 10 years is to continue building off of our legacy,” Nemec said. “We will still be a Jesuit university — that’s not subject to debate. And we will continue striving to maintain and elevate ourselves and our students.” Nemec, who earned a doctoral degree

in political science at the University of Michigan, was president and CEO of Eduventures, a Boston-based information services firm that provides research and consulting to the higher education community. He previously had worked on the executive team of Forrester Research, an international provider of similar services to the technology industry. Prior to joining Fairfield, Nemec was dean of the Graham School of Continuing Liberal and Professional Studies at the University of Chicago from 2014 to this year. Life there, he said, was akin to being in “a castle, where you pulled up the drawbridge and never went out.” That will not be the case at Fairfield, he said. Nemec plans to take an active part in the university’s politics department as a professor in the College of Arts and Sciences. “That doesn’t mean I’m going to be teaching classes and grading papers every day,” he

said with a laugh. “Being president tends to not allow you the time for that.” He envisions he’ll give guest lectures instead. As a Yale undergraduate — he graduated cum laude in 1991—Nemec said he “drove past Fairfield University many times” but was unfamiliar with the community until accepting the position. “It’s a hidden gem,” he said of the town. Nemec, wife Suzy and their four children are renting a house while the school’s presidential residence is being “updated” to accommodate their large family, he said “What I like about Fairfield is what a lot of our students like,” said the new president. “The proximity to New York, Boston, all of the Northeast, presents some unique opportunities that you won’t necessarily get elsewhere.” “Fairfield University has always been a destination college, and it will continue to be so,” he said.

An online middleman for small-business ﬁnancing BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

or Todd Rowe, the road to entrepreneurship began in the residue of the 2008 economic meltdown. “About four to five years ago, I worked for OnDeck Capital in Manhattan,” said Rowe, referring to a nonbank lender to small businesses, where he was a senior business development manager. “Back in 2008, when we had the market correction, banks stopped lending and small-business owners had nowhere to go to get funds. OnDeck, at the time, filled that gap.” “But they only offered one product” for prospective borrowers, he said. “I would see all of this paper that came across my desk that said ‘Denied, Denied, Denied, Denied.’ I said to myself, ‘If we opened up a marketplace where small-business owners needed an SBA loan or a merchant cash advance or a short- or mid-term loan, they’d have one location to come to and we’d work with our funding sources and connect them to the correct business product.’” In 2013, Rowe in Southport launched BitX Funding as an online marketplace for small-business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs to seek financing

for their endeavors. BitX Funding works with a borrower in fill out data on the company regarding how much money they want to borrow, the time frame they are working in to receive their funds and how long they have been in business. Rowe reviews the information and contacts the applicant to receive more information about the depth and scope of the requested loan. The BitX founder Rowe, who is now working with 20 banks as his company’s financing outlets, determines which applicants have the best chance of moving forward. “We see a lot of applications,” he said. “We are working with a 20 to 1 ratio — we might see 20 applications, but we are able to fund one.” BitX has received loan requests ranging from $5,000 to $500,000. “The largest loan we’ve secured was a $300,000 loan for a printing company out in Las Vegas,” he said. To date, Rowe has secured 100 smallbusiness loans for clients. Applicants do not pay him a fee or a commission for the service, he noted, with his revenue coming from the participating lenders. “Each funding source has different pay scales” loan middlemen, he said. “We negotiate that upfront. The funding source pays me direct, and it varies between each fund-

ing product. An SBA loan can be 1 percent, another product can be higher.” As a lending middleman, Rowe said, he makes life easier for the banks working with him. “I’m actually pre-underwriting the applications. Because of Dodd-Frank and all of the other regulations and paying an underwriter a $100,000 salary for a $50,000 loan, it’s not really in their (lending banks’) wheelhouse.” Rowe said half of his applicants are startups seeking their first cash infusion and the other half are established but still young companies needing additional money to grow. Many would-be borrowers

approach lenders with too much confidence in their ability to score financing, with dismal results. “They think they can go out and request funding with a FICO of 550 or liens and judgments, or with somebody going after them to pay their bills. Once your name gets put into the system, it’s amazing what’s out there on you and how all of these funding sources can grab that data and quickly make a decision on you. Or you can land on a web page with an online lender and answer a couple of questions wrong, get quickly denied and that’s the end of it.” “With me, I go right to the underwriter and say, ‘Hey, wait a minute, don’t look at the black and white — there is color, and let me show you the color.’” In a loan application. Rowe is also branching out his service to reach the “entrepreneurial home flipper” who is seeking money to acquire, upgrade and quickly resell residential properties. “I can provide the capital the banks and mortgage companies don’t touch,” he said, adding that it helps if the flipper files as a limited liability company when applying for capital. BitX Funding is operated by Rowe as a one-man shop. “My goal is to become very large and have private equity and private capital reach out to me and say, ‘We want to take it to the next level,’” he said.

“We weren’t being paid for our services, but we couldn’t stop delivering them.” Jamie Lehane, CEO, Newport Mental Health Jamie Lehane faced a pivotal moment when a cash flow crisis threatened vital services.

BEER BREWS $1B+ IN CT BUSINESS

If you’d like, raise a glass to Connecticut's beer industry, which in 2016 contributed $1.01 billion to the state’s economy, according to a recent report. While you’re at it, don’t forget to toast the craft brewing segment, which ended 2016 triple the size it was in 2011. According to the “Beer Serves America” report, produced by the Alexandria, Va.based National Beer Wholesalers Association and the Washington, D.C.-based Beer Institute, last year the Nutmeg State’s brewing industry accounted for more than $144.3 million in economic output, while wholesaling totaled $220.1 million and retailing contributed more than $645.8 million. The state’s beer industry accounted for 11,482 jobs: 255 in brewing, 972 in wholesaling and 10,255 in retail. Total business and personal taxes generated came to nearly $422.7 million last year, according to the report. Nationally, the report stated that the beer industry contributed more than $350 billion to the economy last year, representing nearly 1.9 percent of the U.S. gross domestic prod-

uct. Brewers and beer importers directly employed 67,745 Americans, with about 58 percent of brewing jobs linked to large and mid-sized companies. The number of active craft breweries in Connecticut tripled from 2011 to 2016, according to a separate report from the Brewers Association, a nonprofit trade association based in Boulder, Colorado. While there were 16 craft breweries in the state in 2011, there were 49 in 2016, with another 40 in development, according to the group. The state’s breweries produced an estimated 129,825 barrels of craft beer last year, which ranks 30th in the nation and 31st in gallons per alcohol-eligible adult. Of the New England states, only Rhode Island produced less craft beer per capita than did Connecticut.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE GROUP BUYS TRADE MAGAZINE

Stamford-based publisher Chief Executive Group LLC has acquired Corporate Board Member magazine and related assets from Marlin Equity Partners. The latter, headquartered in Hermosa Beach, Florida, had acquired Corporate Board Member as part of its purchase of NYSE Governance Services Inc. from Intercontinental Exchange Inc. in June. Financial terms of both deals were not disclosed. Based in Brentwood, Tennessee, Corporate Board Member magazine has

been published quarterly since 1998 and claims to have “the most comprehensive database of corporate directors in the world.” It also provides ongoing training through its board leadership program and produces peer-driven conferences, including the annual Boardroom Summit. Chief Executive Group has published Chief Executive magazine since 1977 and hosts conferences and roundtables for CEOs and their peers. The group also runs the Chief Executive Network, a CEO membership organization arranged by industry, and facilitates the annual CEO of the Year award.

FDA APPROVES BOEHRINGER INGELHEIM DRUG

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals’ Cyltezo (adalimumab) for the treatment of multiple chronic inflammatory diseases. Boehringer Ingelheim is based in Ridgefield. Cyltezo is the first biosimilar — that is, a biologic medical product that is almost an identical copy of an original product manufactured by a different company, in this case AbbVie’s Humira — from Boehringer Ingelheim to be approved by the FDA. The FDA approval is based on a comprehensive data package composed of analytical, pharmacological, nonclinical and clinical development studies demonstrating that Cyltezo is biosimilar to Humira. The European Medicines Agency is expect-

ed to provide an opinion on the marketing authorization application for Cyltezo later this year. With Boehringer Ingelheim engaged in patent litigation with AbbVie, Cyltezo is not yet commercially available. Among the diseases that Cyltezo is meant to treat are moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, adult Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. The drug is administered subcutaneously via a pre-filled syringe. Chronic inflammatory diseases collectively affect 23.5 million people in the U.S., the company said. —Kevin Zimmerman

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

Working with intention toward marketing We see marketing as necessary, we just don’t budget for it. And we don’t have a plan, no clue how to build one. We try stuff and hope it works. How much should we spend on marketing? How many things should we be trying? How do we figure out what to invest in for the future? THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Marketing is complex and most owners lack a comprehensive approach. Taking wild guesses is a popular approach, but not the best way to proceed. Improve your chances of getting what you want by defining where it is you want to go. Test, test, test, then commit. Let’s face it, marketing is not a strength in most small businesses. There isn’t a marketing department, the budget is based on whatever is available to spend and the lack of planning makes it hard to reap consistent rewards. And yet, marketing can be the fuel

that drives the business to the next level of growth and profit. With enough market awareness and demand, a company gets to choose its best customers, expand distribution of its best products or services and deposit and keep more money in the bank. Why don’t more businesses tackle marketing as a specialty? Marketing is complex and complicated. It requires research, discipline and patience — three things most entrepreneurs find hard to come by. It’s so much easier to take pot shots in marketing. Who hasn’t jumped on a marketing suggestion that seemed to have merit? After all, it takes so much time and effort to lay the foundation for a short-, mid- and long-range plan. But then, consider this; how often have your marketing efforts delivered consistent, reliable, replicable successes? Try switching from guessing to knowing. Start with research. What do prospects want? What do customers want? What are competitors offering? What’s new? What’s most profitable? Where do customers and prospects get their information? How much information and education do buyers want?

What’s a customer’s life cycle of a purchase, from curiosity to forking over big bucks? Research doesn’t have to be complicated. It does require talking to customers and prospects in a systematic way, so that you can analyze the information you’re getting from multiple sources. What’s your goal? More revenue? Greater profits? New customers? Expanding sales to existing customers? Launching new products? Opening up new geography? Learning about competitors? Making a greater return on what you spend in marketing within a specific time frame? Lay out a set of very specific goals for the company overall. Develop a very clear picture of where you want the company to go during the next several years. Share that picture with people around you and ask them if they understand. Analyze how marketing can help you accomplish your goals. Think about where you might come up short. Consider what it would cost you and the company if you missed out on the goals you’ve set and how the company would benefit if the goals were fully achieved. The delta between

those two is what your marketing efforts are worth to you. Lay out a plan to test various approaches. You probably can’t afford to test everything, everywhere, all at once. So test a few things to get started. When you find something that works, put it into action. When things don’t produce the results you want, take them off the list and then start testing something else. LOOKING FOR A GOOD BOOK?

GOOD THINGS FAIRFIELD

Amy Arnheim

Lucille Harriman presents check to Fran Normann, executive director, Housatonic Habitat for Humanity.

$10K DONATION TO HOUSATONIC HABITAT The Wells Fargo Foundation recently donated $10,000 to Housatonic Habitat for Humanity to be used to help build affordable housing in the greater Danbury area. It was a Team Member Volunteer Program grant, in recognition of the support provided by Wells Fargo employees to Housatonic Habitat. Greater Danbury District Manager Lucille Harriman said that the bank wants to help build stronger communities by investing and volunteering in support of neighborhood

revitalization efforts. Since its inception in 1993, the Wells Fargo Housing Foundation has invested more than $150 million nationwide toward such efforts. Doug Hensal, president of Housatonic’s board of directors, said, “By providing decent, affordable and safe housing to qualified regional families, Housatonic Habitat contributes to community revitalization in the greater Danbury region by creating homes that can transform a street and neighborhood and add value to the community.”

Among last year’s award recipients was the Hart Magnet Elementary School in Stamford. Student scientists joined principal Linda Darling, left, and teacher Audra LaMonica to receive a grant for $550 for a geology project from Reyno A. Giallongo.

SCHOOL’S OPEN AND SO ARE APPLICATIONS The First County Bank Foundation in Stamford has announced that applications are now being accepted for its second annual “First Class Grant Program for Teachers.” The program is designed to help public school teachers fund projects that are not covered by the regular school budget. It was developed to help commemorate the 15th anniversary of the First County Bank Foundation.

Last year, the foundation awarded nearly $15,000 to help the targeted teachers complete a variety of projects in the classroom. Eligible grant recipients are kindergarten through fifth-grade teachers in Stamford, Norwalk, Darien, Greenwich, New Canaan and Westport public school districts. Grant applications are accepted through Oct. 31 and are available online at firstcountybank.com/ firstclass-grant.

John Pinto with his adopted dogs, Sandy an 11-year-old Puggle, Fiona a 2-year-old tripod Dachshund, and Chloe a 4-year-old Pit Bull. Pinto also is fostering Dasher, a 9-year-old Cocker Spaniel.

PAWSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS Pentegra Retirement Services, which has its Northeast regional office in Shelton and is headquartered in White Plains, New York, has devised a new program to help bring together retirees and animals in shelters that need permanent homes. It’s called Pentegra Retirement Pawsibilities. By educating retirees about the benefits a pet can provide, Pentegra hopes to add an active, healthy component to its clients’ retirement years. The company points to various studies, which show the benefits of adopting a dog or cat, such as providing structure and routine during otherwise inactive retirement days, stress reduction, increased social interaction and physical activity and support for a healthier and happier lifestyle. John Pinto, CEO of Pentegra, said, “We know the many health

benefits for anyone with a cat or dog, but think about how much more time a retiree can give an animal in need of a home, and how important that relationship can be physically, emotionally and socially to someone who has more time on their hands. It is a win-win and we want to educate our clients on how life-changing this can be.” Pentegra Retirement Pawsibilities provides a list of resources, including the benefits of adopting a shelter animal, a list of shelters and the best searchable adoption websites. The program also offers personal guidance from an animal adoption expert at Pentegra who can assist in making the perfect match. Retirees who adopt and submit copies of the adoption paperwork along with a photo of their new family member will receive a $50 gift card.

NEW DIRECTORS AT CHILD LEARNING CENTERS Stamford-based Children’s Learning Centers of Fairfield County recently added to its education and development teams by naming Nicole Clark-Taxiltaridis as program director to lead its Head Start program and Susan Rigano as director of donor relations. Both report to CEO Marc E. Jaﬀe.

The programs provide early-childhood education and care. Her experience includes working with international organizations

in Guatemala, Benin Republic and Japan. Rigano joins the agency after serving as director of development for Norwalk Community College Foundation and executive director of the Stamford Public Education Foundation. Rigano lives in Stamford. She will be involved in donor relations, grant writing, faithbased outreach, planned giving and other initiatives. The learning center will be holding its first annual golf outing on Sept. 25 at the Greenwich Country Club. Sponsors include Pitney Bowes, First County Bank, Day Pitney LLP, First Republic Bank, Cigna, CBP and Mavis Discount Tires.

ARNHEIM JOINS RAVEIS IN SOUTHPORT Veteran Realtor Army Arnheim has been appointed sales manager at the William Raveis Real Estate office in Southport. “Given that we’re number one with 47 percent of market share in Southport and 36 percent market share in Fairfield, we wanted the most exceptional manager to grow the office,” said Chris Raveis, president of residential sales and co-president of the family-owned company. Those market share figures are attributed to Consolidated MLS of Greater Fairfield. A longtime Fairfield resident, Arnheim managed sales and career development for 15 years at several of Raveis’ competitors in Fairfield County. She said, “I have long admired Raveis. …The company is progressive (and) its marketing tools are a step above the competition.”

GALLAGHER JOINS CHARKIT Jay Lang, executive vice president of Charkit Chemical Co. LLC in Norwalk has announced the hiring of Robert Christopher Gallagher as an account executive. Lang said he will help the company venture into untapped markets. Gallagher had been with Florachem Corp. in Jacksonville, Florida, where he was responsible for business development in 16 territories both within and outside of the U.S. Charkit serves the personal care, food, flavor and fragrance, water treatment, imaging, metal treatment, nutritional and pharmaceutical industries as well as producers of fine and specialty chemicals.

HAPPENING Tony Bennett

TONY BENNETT AT GREENWICH FUNDRAISER Judy Jensen during the celebration.

ON THE JOB FOR 50 YEARS According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, as of 2016, the median time employees spent with one employer was 4.2 years. That means half of employees were with the same company for longer times; half less. The figure was down slightly from the 4.6 years calculated in 2014. Other statistics indicate that at some of the top 500 U.S. companies, median employee tenure drops to one year or less. So, it’s no wonder they were celebrating at Cartus Corp. in Danbury recently. While nearly one-fourth of all employees have worked with the relocation company for 15 years or more, employee Judy Jensen broke the company record. Jensen, an accounts receivable analyst, completed her 50th year with Cartus. Her colleagues joined her in celebrating this milestone with a reception, gifts and well-deserved recognition. When Jensen first joined Cartus in 1967, she worked in a small, quiet,

second-floor office in Darien filled with NCR (National Cash Register) machines, busily typing equity checks by hand. Over the years, she held positions in accounts payable, collections/billing and accounts receivable before her appointment as accounts receivable analyst. A lot has changed since those early days and, according to Jensen, technology has enabled her and her co-workers to handle higher work volumes and larger portfolios efficiently. “The change is what’s constant,” said Jensen. “It keeps the brain from rotting.” “Judy, like all of our employees, brings so much to the company, both personally and professionally,” said Amy Meichner, senior vice president of human resources. “We take pride in creating a collaborative environment and company culture and we believe that’s why so many of our employees choose to stay here as long as they do.”

STAMFORD HOSPITAL RANKED AMONG BEST IN REGION U.S. News & World Report has recognized Stamford Hospital as a Best Regional Hospital for 2017-2018. The magazine also said Stamford Hospital was one of the top five in Connecticut among the 43 it assessed. The hospital received high rankings in heart failure treatment, colon cancer surgery and urology. “We are pleased to be recognized by U.S. News & World Report for our quality and safety results, achieved through the

dedication of our staff, who are committed to evidence-based and patientcentered care across the institution,” noted Rohit Bhalla, vice president of quality and chief quality officer at Stamford Health. The hospital has an analytics and innovation department along with a patient safety and quality committee, which develops programs designed to help ensure patient safety that result in a positive patient experience.

Tony Bennett, winner of 18 Grammy Awards, is scheduled to perform at the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation Annual Fall Gala on Oct. 28 at the Hyatt Regency in Greenwich. Since first hitting it big in 1951 with his number-one recording of “Because of You,” Bennett has sold about 50 million records. In 1962, his signature classic, “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” was released. Bennett has received two Emmy Awards and was a Kennedy Center Honoree. Featured as master of ceremonies will be the Tony Award-winning star of theater, film and television, James Naughton. The foundation will be presenting its Spirit of Hope Award to the founders and chief officers of Republic Records, Avery and Monte Lipman. The award is presented to patients, caregivers, family members or advocates who inspire hope

through their resilience, perseverance and dedication to the foundation and its mission. The Lipmans said, “Our support of this foundation remains personal since our best friend not only participates in the search for a cure, but fights his own battle of this disease every day.” Ryan Anthony, who is acting principal trumpet player of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, will receive the Courage and Commitment Award. Anthony began playing the trumpet at age 7 and has performed as a soloist with more than 100 ensembles internationally. He also founded a fundraising organization called CancerBlows, and has lived with multiple myeloma for the past five years.
