Carolyn Carpeneti Presents Video Series on the Art & Science of Hiring Great People


San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) February 25, 2014

Carolyn Carpeneti, a leading executive recruiter who has helped build out leadership teams at such iconic brands as Williams-Sonoma, Levi Strauss, Puma, University of Phoenix and Mint.com, announces today the release of a series of short videos examining the executive recruiting business.

The newly published videos include “The Traditional Executive Search Model is Broken,” “Executive Recruiting: The Art vs. The Science,” and “Questions to Ask When Hiring an Executive Recruiter.” All the videos can be found at http://carpeneti.com/about.

As founder of the Northern California-based firm Carolyn Carpeneti & Company, Carpeneti has partnered with companies spanning the spectrum of large global brands to small, developing start-ups.

Carpeneti works closely with CEOs to scale their executive teams and drive full corporate build-outs. She also coaches executives and teams on how to create inspiring corporate cultures that flourish and drive growth throughout an organization.

Carpeneti believes that a successful executive placement happens when you prioritize personality and cultural fit above experience and education. “It takes a brave executive to look beyond a candidate’s pedigree and focus on the art, not the science, of hiring great people.”

In her executive recruiting work Carpeneti also explores the impact of positive energy in corporate cultures. Carpeneti comments that while “talking about the power of positive energy treads perilously close to ‘new age’ speak, it is an extremely worthwhile examination as the presence of positive energy can single-handedly transform companies.”

She adds, “I believe that positive energy inspires people to try and do more. It gives people the passion to unite to do things otherwise thought impossible. There are enormous successes that come from organizations performing at their optimum, with their leadership positively focused and their employees thriving.”

Through speeches, panels and workshops, Carpeneti’s engaging techniques have influenced numerous leaders on how to successfully grow their business, hire game-changing talent and unleash positive energy in their organizations.

Clinovo Presents Next Generation Cloud-based eClinical System at Venture Capital Conference


Sunnyvale, CA (PRWEB) February 05, 2014

Clinovo is a technology focused Contract Research Organization (CRO) headquartered in Sunnyvale, CA. Clinovo is seeking funds to launch CloudClinica, a disruptive cloud-based platform for clinical trials. Ale Gicqueau, President & CEO at Clinovo, will present his vision and strategy for CloudClinica to venture capitalists at the 30th Annual Investors Choice Venture Capital Conference. The event will be held on Thursday, February 6th in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The Annual Investors Choice Venture Capital Conference is organized by the Wayne Brown Institute (WBI). Venture capitalists from all over the United States will convene to learn about the best and brightest emerging IT and life science companies. In the last six years, technology start-ups that have gone through the Wayne Brown Institute (WBI) process have raised more than $ 632 million dollars in angel and venture capital. Clinovo will present CloudClinica among twenty innovative companies from the high-tech, life-science and clean-tech sectors.

CloudClinica is Clinovo’s next generation Cloud-based eClinical platform. CloudClinica is an easy-to-use, pay-as-you-go platform to build and manage clinical studies from the ground up without any programming skills. CloudClinica will remove IT dependency and allow small companies to access sophisticated eClinical systems. CloudClinica will bring an average 80% savings from existing solutions while meeting regulatory compliance requirements. Until today, the adoption of eClinical systems like EDC (Electronic Data Capture) has remained slow in some segments of clinical research. Only 40% of Phase I clinical trials had adopted EDC by the end of 2012. CloudClinica will broaden the use of eClinical systems and empower biotech, pharmaceutical, medical device, and diagnostic companies.

Clinovo is a pioneer in the field of eClinical systems with its advanced open source Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system ClinCapture. ClinCapture has been deployed in phase I to phase IV clinical studies, for pharmaceutical, medical device, diagnostic companies, and CROs. ClinCapture already features an integrated eClinical suite of modules, including easy-to-use randomization, ePRO (Patient Reported Outcomes), CTMS (Clinical Trials Management System), and offline data entry. Clinovo recently unveiled its new medical coding module at the Outsourcing in Clinical Trials West Coast Conference in Burlingame, CA, greatly improving clinical data consistency and interoperability.

Systemates Inc. Presents on the Pros of a Project Management Solution When Utilizing Integrated Project Delivery


Richardson, TX (PRWEB) November 14, 2013

Mike Zamora, Sr. Solutions Architect, of Systemates Inc., recently presented at the Construction Management Association of America National Conference. Construction managers across the country gathered at the Aria Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada on October 27-29 for the CMAA National Conference and Trade Show. Zamora’s speech focused on the importance of having a collaborative construction project management solution when utilizing Integrated Project Delivery methodology.

One of the main topics of conversation was around selecting and implementing project management software early in the process instead of relying on an external solution your architect or contractor may already have in place. By finding and implementing a project management solution early on, owners can avoid the unnecessary finger pointing and operate from one version of the truth. Essentially, this will provide owners with views of the bigger picture and allow for more informed decision making.

Integrated Project Delivery is designed for team building and collaboration early on in the project. Its goal is to unite the team in an environment that is efficient and allows for a more successful project. The same can be said for a project management solution. When a PM solution is selected earlier on in the life of a project, the more successful the project will be.

Zamora will also present this speech at the CMAA North Texas Chapter meeting later this year.

We appreciate the integral support and leadership of the New York School of Interior Design and the symposium organizing committee in the creation and development of this important event.”

Symposium topics engage the audience in a variety of sessions that build from broad definition of issues and topics to specific actions and practices, exploring “Emerging Care Environments”; “Informing Emerging Models Through Research”; “Overcoming Barriers Together: Small Interventions with Big Impacts”; “A Model for Success”; and “A Call to Action: Patient-Center, From Planning to… ”.
