Moving TO California!

For all the anti-hype there is about the business climate in California, the state remains attractive for business. Case in point: A major manufacturer of audio equipment is moving its headquarters from the East Coast to San Diego. The company is expected to employ about 65 professionals, including executives and engineers. Selected for its labor force, San Diego beat out Austin TX, Las Vegas, NV and several other sunbelt cities. The company is currently looking to fill several positions, including CFO and controller.

On the way UP!

The Institute for Nonprofit Education and Research at the University of San Diego reports that next year’s entering class of masters’ canidates will include students from Chile and Argentina. Part of the University of San Diego, the Institute acceptance rate was 40%, and one student who was turned down by USD was accepted and is expected to enroll at Columbia.

Filling the Gap

Vistage is for operating executives. Tiger21 is for those who’ve cashed out and made $20MM or more. Now a former Vistage executive is starting a program to serve those business owners who want to sell their businesses in the next 2-5 years. Like Vistage, the groups will meet for a full day each month and have 1-on-1 coaching in between, all focused on building value that future buyers will pay for.  The group is currently taking business owners in San Diego and Orange Counties.
