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!
