Excellence in Business Leadership Award SHORTLIST 26May2010 1 1. Jane Silber Nominated by: Phillip Hofmeyr, [email protected] Monu Joseph, [email protected] Marios Andreou, [email protected] MBA, 2003 Dean’s List · Professional excellence and accomplishment – “Apart from her success at General Dynamics, Jane has built Canonical from a 5- person organization in a bedroom to a 300 strong industry leader. Ubuntu is now the linux version of choice consumers.” “Aside from her numerous degrees and incredible smile, she builds companies. Her first, to my knowledge, was a software company in the US Defense space. While there she held a top secret US security clearance and was integrally involved in dealings with the US Pentagon and Department of Defense. She was the integral driver of the sale of that business to General Dynamics, one of the world’s largest defense firms. While there Jane rose to run one of General Dynamic’s five business units and was a direct report to CXO level officers. Please keep in mind that she built a company and made her millions in one of the most fiercely competitive and male dominated sectors in the global economy. After graduating Jane was pursued by many employers with ties to the defense space including many of the world’s largest investment banks. Eschewing the world of defense, she instead joined Mark Shuttleworth in his living room to launch Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, one of the world’s most beloved software products. This effort started in a living room in 2004 and today it is a global player with hundreds of employees in a wide variety of countries, advancing a business and social agenda. Jane is now the CEO and has brought to Canonical what she brought to SBS, an unmistakable knack for excellence. I feel priviledged to know her and to have had a front row seat to the entire adventure.” · Demonstrates strategic vision and effective implementation, at either the organisational, industry or community level – Worth mentioning strategic partnerships she forged with companies like Dell and also governments seeking not to be dependent on proprietary software. · Recognised among peers for leadership capabilities/potential and professional achievements – “Newsweek magazine just named her one of the rising stars of Silicon Valley. And the list goes on…” · Brings out the best in team members and optimises the skills and resources available to her – “Every single employee at Canonical would tell you she is brilliant at this” 2 · Takes a values-driven approach to work and community activities – “Self evident – Ubuntu is FREE and is focused on bringing computing to all parts of the world.” · Identifies as a ‘mid-career’ or senior professional – “She’s the CEO of a power player in the linux space. She routinely deals with CXO level officers from the largest technology corporations in the world.” Other information: Jane Silber - Chief Operating Officer Jane joined Canonical Ltd in 2004, prior to the first release of Ubuntu. Based in London, she currently oversees all business development and operational activities, including customer support and services, marketing and partnerships, as well as the corporate financial and administrative functions. Prior to joining Canonical, Jane was Vice President of Command and Control Systems at General Dynamics C4 Systems, and her early career included artificial intelligence research and product development for Teijin Ltd in Yokohama, Japan. She holds degrees from the University of Oxford, Vanderbilt University and Haverford College.

Kylie Wright Ford MBA, 2005 Contact 1: Rebecca Gordon, Gerson Lehrman Group ( [email protected] , +1 (212) 750 1872) Contact 2: Andrew Philpott (+44 7766 137071) Kylie Wright-Ford has distinguished her career to date by professionalism and excellence underscored by sheer tenacity to achieve goals. Growing up in Australia, Kylie navigated through academic and commercial challenges to work in world class organizations and entrepreneurial pursuits from Canberra to London and now in New York where she is Director of Research for the Americas at Gerson Lehrman Group – the world’s largest expert network and a true success story. Kylie leads 130 professionals across the US and Latin America and works with the world’s leading financial institutions, professional services firms, corporations and law firms to enhance their decision making and help them learn. Key success points in Kylie’s journey through 14 years of professional accomplishment include rising through the competitive environment of stockbroking to become one of the youngest management team members within the stockbroking arm of Goldman Sachs JBWere and successfully completing an MBA at SAID Business School while raising her three year old son. After SAID, Kylie transitioned to an entrepreneurial firm in which she has been part of the team increasing the company revenue approximately $100 million and growing the employee base from 250 to 650. Kylie has defined her success by seamlessly demonstrating excellence in client service, personal leadership and commercial agility. Specializing in equity derivatives at Goldman Sachs JBWere, she navigated a technically challenging and highly volatile environment to be a thought partner for her clients, mentor for her colleagues and clear future leader. After 8 successful years with Goldman Sachs JBWere, Kylie’s keen focus on leadership and organizational excellence led her to pursue an MBA at Oxford. The year spent at Oxford was critical as Kylie sought to change geography, industry and growth trajectory within her career. Upon graduating from SAID, Kylie joined Gerson Lehrman Group, then a little known entity in the UK but a burgeoning power in the independent research field in the US. Testimony to her hardworking attitude, Kylie started at GLG the very day after the final ceremony at Oxford. Kylie has ascended quickly at GLG, achieving outstanding results in each of the five increasingly senior roles she was offered. Starting in London with GLG, Kylie was tasked with building the product, team and client base in the Financial and Business Services practice area for Europe. Within 9 months her ability to drive immediate results and act as a leader resulted in an offer as global head of the Financial and Business Services practice area based in New York. Within a week of being offered the position Kylie moved her family to New York City and has since thrived. While leading the Financial and Business Services team to its peak performance, Kylie developed a reputation as a no-fuss leader skilled at driving success through personal commitment and leading a geographically disperse team towards innovation and financial success. 4 My initial experience with Kylie was as her co-pilot in the Financial and Business Services team. Her vision and ability to collaborate while leading transformed the performance of our team and accelerated the abilities of even the most junior team members. I have had the opportunity to see Kylie replicate and improve upon this formula multiple times since we first worked together. Most impressive, Kylie has been able to do all of this while maintaining an active life outside the office walls. She volunteers in support of GLG’s charity efforts, is a devoted wife and mother, and is a true friend. It comes as no surprise that professionals at all levels seek out opportunities to work alongside her and that Kylie has been instrumental in improving the business culture at GLG. In additional to leading three different client service teams, Kylie was tasked with leading a strategy group during the turmoil of 2009. While spearheading key growth initiatives, Kylie launched GLG’s operations in Latin America, collaborated to strike partnerships with Fortune 500 companies and drove an innovative product development effort. Kylie’s current role as Director of Research for the Americas is the culmination of her professional versatility and her ability to inspire teams. During her time at GLG she has proven her ability to make consistently clear decisions anchored in what is right for the team she is leading and the firm as a whole. Her hallmarks are commercial decisiveness and ability to develop professional teams. She has personally hired a high number of the firms’ top talent, setting an exciting foundation for the firm’s continued growth trajectory. In summary, Kylie is highly respected for both her significant personal accomplishment and clear ability to leverage resources to make whole teams better. She is a tireless communicator and her optimism and positive attitude is known throughout the firm and symbolized by her most common email sign-off -- “Onward and Upward”. 5 3. Sonavi Chopra Management Research, circa 2007-08 I started my career in the Indian hospitality industry in May 2008 after completing a two year stint at Oxford University. My goal was to build a successful business career and make a significant contribution to society as a Rhodes Scholar. I joined Sarovar Hotels & Resorts as Executive Assistant to the Executive Director in the Corporate Office in Delhi. This is the fourth largest hotel chain in India having commenced operations in 1994. There were two reasons that governed my decision. The first was to take a major step towards becoming a successful business leader in the corporate world. The second was a great opportunity to closely work and learn from a leading hotelier. My job profile entailed monitoring the operations of 33 hotels on a daily basis. This involved annual budgeting, tracking the revenue and expenses of all hotels, recruitment, obtaining star classification certification from the Government, keeping abreast with market trends, products, existing and upcoming competition. Another important area of responsibility was to prepare financial feasibility reports for hotels in upcoming locations and markets and to forecast their performance.
