Robert Lewis Ropa Wikipedia Robert lewis ropa wikipedia Continue Ripley buys Robert Lewis and Barbados brands from El guila mi rcoles, June 04, 2008 Constance Hola Chamy Econom from Negocios Online, El Mercurio Tradicional company associated with Family Link to focus on representation and distribution brands. If the survey was done, maybe many Chileans would think that their Robert Lewis or BB2 jeans are aliens. But no. Famous brands present in major major stores are owned by the Chilean company Textil El guila. Until this week. Because he likes it to close the sale of her two star brands. Negotiations began more than six months ago when Ripley was approaching Textil El guila. The multi-store, controlled by the Calder n family, is seeking to strengthen its position in denim brands, given the onslaught of competitors. Falabella has Americano and Paris, with Foster. And while Ripley has his own brands, he misses the weight of BB2 in the women's middleweight segment. For high-rise stores it is good business to add brands to your portfolio. They get differentiation and stamp their labels on products imported from Asia at a low price, increasing their income. Guila, for its part, imported most of the jeans for the brand. For the same reason, a productive reduction plan has begun, given the intention of its owners - the Link family - to refocus their investments and stay in retail, but as distributors. To do this, aim to focus on the views you already have, in addition to adding new ones. Today they have an introduction to the Argentine children's clothing brand Mimo and Co., in addition to Hugo Boss. They also have an industrial clothing brand mr. Hick. They also have a national Brand of Ricciardi that, although it will initially be in talks with Ripley, eventually disaggregated. But the average high-rise shops will be interested. Ripley and El-Gila took the opportunity, and the negotiations came to port. Although none of the participants wanted to confirm this figure, I think the sale was made at about $15 million. In addition to the trademarks, the agreement includes Ripley controlling six stores in Barbados and taking care of nearly 50 employees associated with the brand. Ancient relationships And although the link and caldera n today do not have a great relationship, they were previously narrow. Because Alberto and Marcelo Calder n, the founders of Ripley - father and t or L zaro Calder n-, were partners of Jaime Link in the rich hist f brica Machasa. The current three owners of Textil El guila are Jaime's children. But in these negotiations, L zaro s lo got into the final stage. Andre Belfus, CEO of Retail, and Sebastian n gerente comercial, fueron los encargados por parte de la multitienda. Por el guila estuvieron Eduardo Link, director ejecutivo de la compa a, y Rodrigo Albagli, abogado. Inmobiliarias miran terrenos de la f brica Cuatro hect reas tiene el terreno donde actualmente funciona la f brica de Textil El guila, en calle Gamero, n mero 2085, comuna de Independencia. Y como la compa a se encuentra en un proceso de reducci n de producci n textil, la idea ser a al mediano plasladar las dependencias de las representaciones a oficinas m s funcionales para as vender el pa o. Ya habr inmobiliarias interesadas, aunque los planes de la textil ser an otros. Porque ante la venta de las marcas el apetito inmobiliario se le despert a la familia Link, quienes estar a evaluando ingresar en este mercado. De Hecho, la Venta de la Brique Machasa habr sido dise ada por el director ejecutivo de el Gila, Eduardo Link. Ese proyecto fue el que encant a Sebasti n Pi era, que finalmente compr la ex f brica para trasladar Chilevisi n. Rob LewisBorn (1969-05-23) 23 May 1969 (age 51)London, UKOccupationFonder CEO ROXi Rob Lewis (born May 23, 1969) is an English businessman and serial entrepreneur. Lewis has established several publishing and technology businesses, including Business and Technology Magazine, Cromwell Media, Silicon Media Group, Omniphon, rara.com and most recently ROXi. Lewis - Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2009. Lewis was educated at Latimer High School in London. He holds a master's degree in economics from The College of Jesus in Cambridge. Career journalism and publishing Lewis set up his first venture, cambridge weekly review, as a competitor to the publication of Varsity, while reading economics at Cambridge's Jesus College. He sold the publication to Associate Publishing before he reached the final. Lewis returned to publishing after two years in politics, founding and editing the business and technology magazine he sold to Dennis Publishing in 1993; The publication was absorbed as part of Computer Weekly. Politics Lewis spent two years following Cambridge as a researcher and economic adviser to Huddersfield Labour MP Barry Shearman in the run- up to the 1992 general election. Internet Enterprises In 1994, Lewis co-founded Cromwell Media, along with Phil Stant and Mark Knight, providing scalable enterprise-level technology solutions that are sources of electricity insurance, including MORE TH'gt;N. When developing Cromwell Media in the following years, the chance of meeting at a party in London with a team of scientists from CERN in 1998 convinced Lewis of the power of publication through the Internet. Lewis founded Silicon Media Group with Eva-Marie Sant and Roger Knight in the same year, launching the Silicon.com news site in and sister sites-sister sites-sisters Paris and Munich on Silicon.de. In November 1999, Lewis reportedly raised more than 11 million pounds of investments for Silicon.com from a consortium of venture capital firms led by Amadeus Capital Partners, with reports estimating the company at 800 million pounds in May 2000. By the time he was 30, The Guardian reported that Lewis was one of the six most successful young entrepreneurs in the UK. In the same month, in May 2000, with the support of former Hoskyns Group (now Capgemini) CEO Jim Feeney, Lewis sold Cromwell Media to InterX for 850 million pounds. Renewable Energy Lewis is an investor in Wind Energy, a renewable energy company dedicated to the sensitive development of onshore wind farms, assessing potential sites across Scotland since 2002. Lewis brokered the sale of a majority stake in U.S. energy and utilities company AES Corporation in 2007, combining Wind Energy with AES, owned by SeaWest Wind Power, resulting in a plethora of Wind Energy development skills and accelerating the development of clean renewable energy for the UK. Wind power currently has nine wind farms in development, including North Rins in southern Scotland, where permission has been granted for 11 Vestas V80 turbines with a capacity of 22 megawatts of electricity. The wind farm will meet the annual electricity needs of around 15,000 homes, more than a fifth of households in Dumfries and Galloway. Omnifone Lewis founded Omnifone in January 2003 to deliver next-generation digital content services around the world. The company develops cloud-compatible unlimited music services for consumer electronics providers, mobile operators and Internet providers on multiple home, automotive, mobile and PC devices or not. Lewis secured the first international licensing of unlimited music services with all four major music labels in June 2007, By pumping out many of The MusicStation's awards powered an unlimited number of music services to millions of device users on four continents with the likes of Sony, HP, 16 BSkyB, 17 Sony Ericsson, 18 Vodafone, 19 Telenor, John Lewis also rara.com as chairman of streaming music service rara.com launched in the U.S. and Europe on December 13, 2011 on Android and Android. The direct service to consumers was powered by the MusicStation Omnifone platform and was also licensed by a music service provider. ROXi Lewis founded ROXi in 2014 after he tried to buy his parents a music streaming system for Christmas. ... I would have to provide technical support -- this Lightbulb moment. The thought of constantly asking how to use a complex system was not appealing, so he set about creating something much easier. I set a task for the team. Can we do something that In a box accessible to most people, open the box, and two minutes later you have a jukebox with all the music in the world. On October 14, 2015, ROXi announced the Electric Jukebox digital media player. The electric jukebox was discontinued and replaced by ROXi, a television music entertainment experience with streaming music, radio, karaoke, music games, sound machines and visual effects in August 2017. ROXi is available on pay-TV and Smart TV platforms, as well as through roxi Music System digital media player. Lewis has brokered a partnership with Sky to bring ROXi into millions of homes on Sky in September 2020. Lewis has raised more than 11.6 million pounds ($15 million) for ROXi to date with early support from former Take That contestant Robbie Williams, Grammy Award winner Sheryl Crow, British Got Talent judge, singer and presenter Alesha Dixon, as well as actor, writer and comedian Stephen Fry. Lewis also received investments in ROXi from former Formula One and McLaren Group chief executive Ron Dennis, who took a 10% stake in the company along with investors such as Henrik Holmark, former Pandora jewellery chief executive Henrik Holmark, and Saracens rugby club owner Nigel Ray, former U2 rock band manager Paul McGuinness and TomTom co-founder Mark Gretton, who invested in the company. Lewis's political campaign was the original author of a letter from entrepreneurs, an open letter published on the front page of The Times in the last week of the 2010 general election and signed by leading British entrepreneurs.

  • Driving the Application Explosion Implications for Network Providers – Challenges and Recommendations by Ann Marie Vega and Cindy Mills
    STRATEGIC WHITE PAPER Driving the Application Explosion Implications for network providers – challenges and recommendations by Ann Marie Vega and Cindy Mills The past 18 months have seen an explosion in the number of applications that are available to end users — mobile applications, widgets on TVs and PCs, as well as enterprise applications of all types. As end users discover how to use their connected devices in new and innovative ways, they have demonstrated an almost insatiable appetite for applications. The question for network providers is how to capitalize on this opportunity in an effective and sustainable way. This paper discusses the current trends, challenges, and success factors for network providers seeking to add value in application delivery. Among the challenges, the most significant are: 1) difficulty in justifying the business case; 2) legacy mindsets and organizational structures, 3) adherence to legacy partnership models that limit innovation opportunities, 4) inefficient processes that cannot deliver applications in a rapid and cost-effective manner, and 5) issues with fragmentation from the developer perspective. The combined effect of these challenges is that network providers may not be optimized for efficiently providing a broad array of applications to their customers. From our research and experience, Alcatel-Lucent has developed concrete recommendations to help network providers capitalize on the application opportunity. Specifically, we recommend: 1) building a holistic business case; 2) exploring new business models; 3) industrializing operational processes; and 4) lessening fragmentation to achieve scale. Though recommendations are provided, they are offered with the recognition that suitability/applicability will vary based on each network provider’s unique situation.

  • "Licensing Music Works and Transaction Costs in Europe”
    "Licensing music works and transaction costs in Europe” Final study September 2012 1 Acknowledgements: KEA would like to thank Google, the internet services company, for financing which made this study possible. The study was carried out independently and reflects the views of KEA alone. 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Establishing and running online music services is a complex task, raising both technical and legal difficulties. This is particularly the case in Europe, where complex rights licensing structures hinder the development of the market and the launch of new innovative online services. Compared to the US, Europe is lagging behind in terms of digital music revenue. Furthermore, the development of the market is fairly disparate among different countries in the European Union. This study aims to identify and analyse transaction costs in music licensing. It examines the online music markets and outlines the licensing processes faced by online services. It offers a qualitative and quantitative analysis of transaction costs in the acquisition of the relevant rights by online music services. The study also suggests different ways of decreasing transaction costs. The research focuses on three countries (the UK, Spain and the Czech Republic) and builds on data collected through a survey with online music service providers available in the three countries as well as interviews with relevant stakeholders in the field of music licensing. THE EUROPEAN ONLINE MUSIC MARKET The music industry has steadily expanded over the past few years, away from selling CDs towards selling music online or through concerts and live music. (Masnick, Ho, 2012). Among the 500 licensed online music services in the world (according to IFPI), many emulate the physical record store, by offering ‘download to own’ tracks at a similar price point.
