Welcome to the CfE NYC!


On March 2013, myself and three other interns from the August intake were voted as the next board members of the Centre for Entrepreneurship at the Mountbatten Institute (CfE). A few weeks later, after the new intake had arrived in New York City, a March intern was voted in as co-chair. Our names and positions are as follows;

Alex Lee – Chair
Andrew Staite – President
Claudio Lisco – Co-Chair
Sona Stefkova – Vice-President
Damien de Brujin – Program Chair

Under the expert advice and stewardship of Dr. Dennis Garritan; the Academic Dean of the Mountbatten Institute, a professor at Harvard and Managing Director of Palmer Hill Capital, we set out on a plan of rejuvenation. Scrapping the old model of using the ‘Entrepreneurs Club’ as a non-exclusive network session, we renamed, remodeled and rebranded ourselves.

Through the guiding of the vision statement, the CfE aims, ‘to provide the skills, opportunities and inspiration to grow your ideas’. Our members, will have the platform to be inspired and develop themselves and their ideas.

We have already seen major developments. Having had two group meetings already, we have discussed our business ideas and the basics of a business proposal. The next meeting, set for the 3rd June, will discuss how a relevant network can be created, maintained and leveraged. I am delighted to announce that we will be joined by Rebecca Jackson; a ‘Professional Spaghetti Thrower’, business start up consultant and contributor to Forbes magazine.

Following this blog post, our board and its members will post weekly on hot topics, trends and discussions that we deem relevant to our potential business ideas and futures.
Please do feel free to contact the Centre for Entrepreneurship if you feel you would be able to contribute to a group meeting or advice our members. Alternatively, you can check out all of our members at our website, where we have created individual mini-bio’s for everyone.

We are a fairly social bunch; posting links, building trends and tweeting regularly of Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter;
Until next time!
Alex Lee
Chair
