  • From Lawyer to CEO?
    A Seat at the Head of the Table: From Lawyer to CEO? Interviews and Profiles Skills and Professional Development 1 / 13 2 / 13 3 / 13 CHEAT SHEET Risk aversion. Most law firm cultures are built around a strong bias to risk aversion. However, in transitioning to a more entrepreneurial role, lawyers must expand their perception from “no” to “yes,” even if the next question is “how?” Wearing two hats. For lawyers in business roles, it can sometimes be difficult to look beyond the legal issues when making decisions. As such, it’s essential to develop the ability to wear two hats at a time: one for the business, and one for the legal department. A fresh perspective. As in-house counsel, your seat is often at the center of the table. Given your understanding of the business from all angles, your input will be fresh and unique. Instilling interest. Unfortunately, not everyone is cut out to be an entrepreneur. Above being able to understand the business, lawyers must have a legitimate interest in business operations to succeed. April 2017 marked the 15-year anniversary of my law school graduation. I went through several stages before I realized my legal ambitions, ranging from public service to a coveted spot at a national firm. However, in 2008, I made the jump to general counsel for a technology company. Today, I’m still a GC with the same company, as well as a shareholder. Given my time with the company, familiarity with our “product,” and background, I am often called upon for business-related decisions.

  • Raising Venture Capital: the Different
    RAISING VENTURE CAPITAL: THE DIFFERENT METHODOLOGIES AND OUTCOMES OF FEMALE AND MALE ENTREPRENEURS AND INVESTORS by CLAIRE KAPIOLANI SOLOMON A THESIS Presented to the Department of Business Administration and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Sciemce June 2018 An Abstract of the Thesis of Claire Kapiolani Solomon for the degree of Bachelor of Science in the Department of Business Administration to be taken June 2018 Title: Raising Venture Capital: The Different Methodologies and Outcomes of Female and Male Entrepreneurs Approved: _______________________________________ Stephen McKeon This thesis analyzes how venture capitalist funding is rationed and provides insight into why female-founded companies receive only 3% of total venture capitalist funding. In order to understand this, this thesis analyzes the relationship between venture capitalist partners and founders. Relationships are often different between investors and male entrepreneurs than between investors and female entrepreneurs. This research explains why this environment has become unsupportive of women and thus proves to be challenging for women to succeed in. The role of gender perception is also vital, and this research project will make a connection between gender biases and underfunding of women entrepreneurs. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank Professor Steve McKeon, Professor Elizabeth Raisanen, and Professor Katherine Harmon for their support and guidance through the development of my research. I would furthermore like to thank both the Robert D. Clark Honors College and the Lundquist College of Business for the incredible academic opportunities they have provided me over the last four years. Lastly, I honor my sister and mother for the passion they have embedded in me to become a leader for women in business, and to continue encouraging the success of women everywhere.

  • 2015 Fall Press Report
    ROBERT HERJAVEC 2015 Fall Press Report OUTLET: THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER ISSUE: DECEMBER 4, 2015 CIRCULATION: 73,875 IMPRESSIONS: 221,625 OUTLET: RUNNERS WORLD ISSUE: NOVEMBER 6, 2015 IMPRESSIONS: 2,625,589 I got fired when I was younger, started an internet security business, and that was that. Some people have a vision to start a business. Others adapt because they’re forced to. I was the latter. I was a casual runner my whole life, but I got serious eight years ago when my mom became ill with cancer. My company was growing, my kids were littler, the days felt overwhelming. The only thing that made me forget about everything was running, so I started doing it every day. Most people think business is the fun, sexy stuff we see on TV, but success comes from the 22 things you have to do every day that nobody notices. That’s just like running. There are a lot of fans at the finish line of a marathon, but not as many between miles three and 26. My proudest running moment was my first marathon in Miami in 2009. I trained only for a few months, but I was really proud that I even finished (in 4:40). I run five miles daily, plus a long run of eight to 10 miles on Sunday. It’s hard to find the time but if I don’t, I’m more tired, I need to eat more – it affects me physically and mentally. I appeared on Dancing With the Stars this year and made it to week eight of 10 with no dance experience.

Interestingly, I have just finished T reading The Year of Decision - 1846 by Bernard DeVoto. The coincidence is in some ways intentional because a Taylor schoolmate of mine from the 1950's, Dale Murphy, half jokingly recommended that I read the book as I was going to be making so many speeches during our sesquicentennial celebration. As a kind of hobby, I have over the years taken special notice of events concurrent with the college's founding in 1846. The opera Carman was first performed that year and in Germany a man named Bayer discovered the value of the world's most universal drug, aspirin.
