Holiday With A Difference - Message From Angel Mehta
|
Dear Friends,
This last edition of the Sterling Report for 2004 is significantly different from anything we've published in the past, and as such I thought it might warrant a special introduction. There are no articles on software sales or marketing strategy, no review of IPOs or M&A activity, no business-related topics of any kind.
Instead, we offer you several brief profiles of social causes or non-profit organizations supported by people from our industry. Each of the executives profiled has achieved plenty of business success, having proven their business acumen as investors or operating executives on several occasions. But as the links below illustrate, their passions extend far beyond the world of business.
I'm also going to take this opportunity to shamelessly promote a small initiative of my own: The Enlightenment Project - essay competition for children in developing countries.
We invite you to click on the links below to learn more about the social causes listed, or send us your own stories for feature in this magazine next December. And of course, we appreciate article submissions or tips on interesting investors or CEOs to profile in 2005.
On behalf of Sterling-Hoffman Executive Search, I'd like to wish you all a happy holiday season and a prosperous new year.
-Angel

M.R. Rangaswami discovered a passion outside the world of software venture capital when he met John Wood, who quit Microsoft China as business development director to launch a nonprofit organization dedicated to building schools and libraries in some of the world's poorest communities.

IONA's War On HIV/AIDS
|
|
Christopher Horn, CEO & Co-Founder, IONA Technologies
|
|
Everyone knows what UNICEF is all about. But what many people do not know is how one of UNICEF's key HIV/AIDS initiatives got a boost from Chris Horn. "UNICEF Ireland's Movie Action for Children" was developed to help fund programs in Africa to prevent the transmission of HIV/AIDS from mother to child. It was in 2000 when Chris learned of UNICEF's project. Since then, he has not only inspired his company and employees to financially back the initiative, but also created an official website for the program - putting in place the online marketing program.
