It is an extremely concise presentation of an entrepreneur ’s idea, business model, marketing strategy, competitive analysis, and financial plan, which is delivered to potential investors. The premise is that it could be made in a few minutes, should the entrepreneur spot a potential investor on an elevator and have the opportunity to pitch their idea during the brief ride. 4 The Inaugural Pace Pitch Contest The Inaugural Pace Pitch Contest was held on December 3, 2004. The event was Exclusively Sponsored by JPMorgan Chase and featured Mr. Clarence B.

Four bombs exploded in the upscale resort of Hua Hin, about 200 km (125 miles) south of Bangkok, on Thursday evening and yesterday morning, killing two peo- ple and wounding at least 24. Other blasts hit the tourist island of Phuket, a resort town in Phang Nga province, and Surat Thani, a city that is the gateway to popular islands such as Koh Samui in Thailand’s Gulf. Hua Hin is home to the Klai Kangwon royal palace, which translates as “Far from Worries”, where King Bhumibol Adulayadej, the world’s longest reigning monarch, and his wife, Queen Sirikit, have lived in recent years. Neither were there during the attacks, as both are in hospital in Bangkok. Yesterday was a public holiday in Thailand to mark the queen’s birthday, which is celebrated as Mother’s Day. No group has claimed responsibility, though suspicion could fall on insurgents in Muslim-majority provinces in southern Thailand. Police detained two men for questioning over the attacks on Hua Hin yesterday, said Police Superintendent Sarawut Tankul of the tourist police at the resort.

  • The Goddess of Fashion at Liz Claiborne Aru Kulkarni - President, Liz Claiborne Apparel Division
    The goddess of fashion at Liz Claiborne Aru Kulkarni - President, Liz Claiborne Apparel Division After graduating from University of Pitts-burgh in 1984, a career in the fashion industry wasn’t exactly what Aru Kulkarni aspired to. Nevertheless, as president of $5 billion Liz Claiborne’s apparel division, Kulkarni is ecstatic she stumbled upon a career that has brought her so far. “I had no reference points or experience as far as the fashion industry was concerned,” says the Mumbai-born executive reflecting on her job hunt in Pittsburgh. As an economics major, a finance or banking job looked more promising, but an offer from retail chain Joseph Horne’s seemed too good to pass up on. One thing led to another, and after a four-year stint at Horne’s, Kulkarni moved to New York, secure in the belief she was ready to jump into the mecca of global fashion industry. “I was at Maidenform, a women’s lingerie company, from 1989 to 1992 and then moved to Warnaco where I held various sales and marketing executive positions and eventually moved up to senior vice president of sales and marketing for Calvin Klein Underwear,” she says. In November 2000, Kulkarni made another strategic move and joined Liz Claiborne as vice president and general manager for missy casual sales. In 2004, she was appointed to her present position, a coveted title considering her division has a portfolio of 34 brands and is responsible for 40 percent of the company’s bottomline. While there aren’t many top women executives in the American fashion industry, let alone an Indian American, Kulkarni attributes her success to her leadership style.
