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.

CardioWise Receives Supplemental Grant from the National Science Foundation


(PRWEB) June 27, 2013

CardioWise, Inc. has received a National Science Foundation (NSF) Phase IB Small Business Innovation Research grant of $ 30,000 to continue the development and commercialization of a non-invasive analysis method for detection of heart disease. This award follows and builds on the successful achievement of milestones in a Phase I grant of $ 150,000 received by the company in January.

The Phase IB award is a supplement that can be granted if the recipient has demonstrated to the NSF that it has made good progress with the Phase I study, and was able to attract private investment in the firm. CardioWise closed funding from individual angel investors, as well as the VIC Growth Fund, an Arkansas investment fund established for the sole purpose of investing in early stage, high-growth potential technology companies.

Under the direction of Geoffrey Dalbow, Principle Investigator and Chief Technology Officer of CardioWise, the team will further refine Multiparametric Strain (MPS™), its patent-pending, non-invasive Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging analysis software.

“Geoffrey’s extensive experience in this area and his connections to industry leaders have supported our efforts to commercialize this promising new platform,” said Jack Coats, CEO of CardioWise. “We are excited about the future of CardioWise and its potential to positively impact cardiac health.”

The MPS™ software currently under development by CardioWise is uniquely capable of analyzing the movement of the heart captured by cardiac MRI images. The parts of the heart with damage have abnormal movement patterns and the post-MRI analysis clearly shows where and to what degree the muscle has been damaged. Unlike many other diagnostic tests, MRI with the CardioWise analysis poses no risk to the patient, and subsequent tests can be accurately compared to previous tests to see how treatment is working.

NSF Phase I project completion will make CardioWise eligible to compete for a Phase II project and award of up to $ 750,000.

CardioWise™ is commercializing patent-pending, non-invasive Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (cMRI) analysis software that produces a quantified 3D image model of the human heart, called Multiparametric Strain (MPS™) heart analysis. CardioWise heart analysis software combined with cardiac MRI is a single diagnostic test that is able to provide quantitative analysis of the myocardium, arteries and valves with an unprecedented level of detail. It has the opportunity to become the new gold standard of care for heart health analysis. CardioWise™ is a VIC Technology Venture Development™ portfolio company.
