This week Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Sonia Kostich. The two talk about Sonia's unique merger of arts and finance, her role in fostering artistic talent at Baryshnikov Arts, and the importance of building relationships and support systems in every career phase.  In this episode, we discuss: How Sonia Kostich transitioned from a professional ballet dancer to a career in finance, going to college at 42 and working at Goldman Sachs. What inspired her to reinvent herself and pursue a new path after a successful 20-year career in dance. When Sonia made the decision to take the next step in her life and focus on education and a new career direction. Why Sonia believes keeping strong relationships and a support network is crucial, especially during major life transitions. How the skills and discipline from a dance career can translate into success in the business world. The importance of staying open to possibilities and being willing to step into the unknown as part of personal and professional growth. Sonja Kostich- Executive Director of Baryshnikov Arts brings with her both the knowledge and experience of having been a professional dancer for over two decades as well as significant business acumen derived from her business education and time working at Goldman Sachs. Through a unique and successful professional trajectory, she now merges her artistic and business experience as an arts leader. Ms. Kostich was hired by Mikhail Baryshnikov at the age of 17 to join American Ballet Theatre from The School of Classical Ballet, the training school for ABT created by Mr. Baryshnikov, consisting of only seven female students and five male students. She later danced with the San Francisco Ballet and the Zurich Ballet, Mikhail Baryshnikov's White Oak Dance Project, and in multiple collaborations with opera/theater director Peter Sellars, before co-founding OtherShore, which she co-directed for six years. Her experience in ballet, contemporary, and modern dance resulted in a diverse international career that spanned across artistic disciplines.  Upon retiring from dancing, Ms. Kostich returned to school, obtaining a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Accounting and Business Communication from Zicklin School of Business, CUNY Baruch College, where she graduated Salutatorian at the age of 42. Following, she began a full-time position at Goldman Sachs in the Finance Division with a focus on regulatory capital requirements. Simultaneously she obtained an MA in Arts Administration, eventually returning to the dance world, first as the finance manager at Mark Morris Dance Group and then as program manager at New York City Center. From 2018 to 2022, she served as the Chief Executive and Artistic Officer at Kaatsbaan Cultural Park, a 153-acre artist sanctuary located in Tivoli, NY, where she led the successful rebrand and revitalization of the over 30-year organization, bringing it to award-winning status for its significant artistic and economic contributions to the Hudson Valley.  In October 2022, Ms. Kostich joined Baryshnikov Arts as its new Executive Director. As a female Korean American, born in Seoul, Korea, and raised in Minnesota, her history, both personal and professional, lends itself to cultivating and supporting new perspectives as Baryshnikov Arts expands its capacity to create multi-platform and collaborative havens for artistic expression, innovation and freedom and especially as we commit further to elevating and sharing the stories of artists of diverse cultures and histories.

EDINBURG, TEXAS - A Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Business Analytics has just started at UT-Rio Grande Valley and it is the first of its kind in the region. To learn more about the degree program, the Rio Grande Guardian secured an in-depth interview with both Giorgio Gotti, Ph.D., dean of the Robert C. Vackar College of Business & Entrepreneurship, and Jerald Hughes, Ph. D., associate dean for undergraduate studies and an associate professor at the Vackar College. Gotti said the program is designed to provide students with essential skills to develop strategic business insights and enhance decision-making processes across different industries. “Offering an approved BBA. in Business Analytics reflects positively on the university's reputation and academic standing,” Gotti said. “A specialized program can attract students interested in data science and analytics who otherwise would go elsewhere.” Gotti said the degree aligns with industry needs, enhancing the region's workforce and fostering regional economic growth. “Graduates contribute to the local workforce, potentially attracting businesses seeking data-driven professionals to drive innovation and economic growth in the region,” Gotti said. “This approval from the THECB ensures that the curriculum aligns with industry demands and fosters collaboration with businesses.” Hughes agreed. In the interview, Hughes said he expects the program to have a big impact on the Valley economy.  Hughes pointed out that the new degree program was approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, an organization that serves to develop and implement innovative higher education services throughout the state of Texas. Hughes said THECB approval ensures the program meets rigorous academic standards, enhancing education quality, credibility and employability for UTRGV students. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which was cited in the UTRGV program proposal, job growth in a variety of fields is projected to be significant by 2031, including:          •       108,400 new management analyst jobs.         •       24,200 new operations research analyst jobs.         •       40,500 new data scientist jobs. Hughes said the projected growth – which indicates an increase from 11 percent to 36 percent in business analytics positions – motivated the university to develop the degree program. Hughes said the BBA undergraduate program complements current degrees offered within the Vackar college and utilizes current coursework with the addition of three new courses.  He said the new curriculum empowers students with the ability to extract valuable insights from vast datasets to drive strategic decision-making, and covers:          •       Statistical analysis.         •       Descriptive analytics.         •       Business intelligence.         •       Data mining.         •       Machine learning.         •       And predictive modeling. Program graduates will be prepared to enter a field of business analytics, or to continue their education in the field, Hughes added.Go to www.riograndeguardian.com to read the latest border news stories and watch the latest news videos.

Making games is multidisciplinary teamwork at its finest and coming along with different types of people is crucial. Equally important is the flexibility one can practice around their main role. This adaptability is highlighted especially when finding one's first position in a small or mid-sized studio. However, these soft skills are rarely the main topic of any university course. So how does the Jamk BIT program ensure that future game professionals graduate with sufficient teamwork skills and the ability to adapt to the changes that most game studios go through? Discussing the topic from an employer perspective is Dmytro Zhovtobryukh, CEO of Snowhound Games and from an educator perspective, Risto Koskenkorva, Senior Lecturer of the Jamk Business Information Technology program. The discussion is hosted by Wanda O Rly (Valtteri Lahti), Chairperson of Expa Game Business Cooperative.

Landing a job in the game industry is often much more than completing a formal degree and sending around CVs. For the most part of its entire existence, the game industry has lacked formal education, such as university degrees, that would prepare the work force directly to the needs of the industry. Instead finding one's way to games has always been more or less about pursuing individual passion and creating one's own path. Acknowledging this legacy, Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences (Jamk) and Expa Game Business Cooperative are working closely together to make networking and various work life lessons an integral part of the Jamk's international game oriented Business Information Technology education program. In this episode Expa's chairperson Wanda O Rly (Valtteri Lahti) and Jamk's BIT practical training director Kalle Raijonkari discuss together with Mika Tammenkoski, the co-founder and CEO of Metacore - Finland's fastest growing game company, about game industry employment in the 2020s, the role of education and the importance of networking.

Join Karaleigh in an interview with the unconventionally brave Kristina Driscoll. In this episode we talk about living an unconventional life, how no doesn't mean no forever, what it means to strive for balance, and how we can have the courage to show up messy. Kristina Driscoll trained for a career in finance, working over ten years in pension consulting and as a financial advisor. She graduated from Pacific Lutheran University with a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA). Kristina's husband was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's when their son was five years old. She was the caregiver to her husband and young son for 12 years. She continued to manage their investments throughout her husband's journey. Kristina is also on the board of directors for the animal rescue group Sanctuary One. In 2015 she built a cottage for FIV-positive cats and continues to fully fund the cottage each year. Kristina has a podcast called “She's Brave” on Apple and Spotify. She helps women find their path to becoming brave, resilient, and authentic. Favorite takeaways: 1. We feel unsettled and we don't know why. And I think the reason why we feel unsettled is because we know deep down that we're meant for more. 2. No doesn't mean no forever. It means no right now, who knows about tomorrow or next week or next year. People have stuff going on. Don't take it personally. 3. It's not that you don't ever get knocked down, because we get knocked down a lot or we fall or it feels like the end of the world over and over and over again. It's how many times you get back up. You just keep getting back up. It's not that you don't crumble, it's that you pull yourself back together over and over and over again. 4. We need all the voices, we need all the stories. We need women to speak up. That's what our world needs more of. We need more examples of resilience and bravery. 5. Action provides clarity. Even the tiniest of actions will lead to another action and another action and then all of that leads to clarity. You don't have to have gigantic goals. Sometimes just making a smaller more achievable goal- when you actually can achieve it, that builds the courage muscle and the confidence. 6. We're always trying to give our best, but my motto has become done is better than perfect. Just start somewhere and put yourself out there and build from there. And even if it's bad, that's ok. You have permission to do it badly. 7. We're not really free until we can be authentic to ourselves. If you make a decision because you think other people will approve of it, instead of making a decision that's right for you, you're not even free. You're not even free.

Experte für Patente & Lizenzen und treibende Kraft in Innovation und Unternehmertum Peter Hug ist passionierter Erfinder, Inhaber mehrerer Patente und Marken, leidenschaftlicher Unternehmer seit mehr als 25 Jahren, und ein gefragter Innovations-Experte. Als autorisiertes go-Inno Beratungsunternehmen des Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz (BMWK) hilft Peter und sein Team, Klein- und Mittelständischen Unternehmen (KMU), Selbstständigen und Gründern, Ideen erfolgreich umzusetzen. Nach der technischer Ausbildung und Studium hat Peter Hug, neben seiner Tätigkeit als Leiter der Produktentwicklung eines KMU, ein Executive Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) mit Schwerpunkt Technologie und Innovationsmanagement an der Steinbeis School of Management & Technology abgeschlossen. Danach ging Peter nach Kalifornien, in eine der Innovativesten Wirtschaftsregion der Welt, um Betriebswirtschaft an der Pepperdine University in Los Angeles zu studieren. Währenddessen war Peter Mitglied des Entrepreneurs Club der Graziadio School of Business and Management, und konnte über deren Business Angels Netzwerk bei Pitch Veranstaltungen den Gründerspirit des Silicon Beach live miterleben. Er hat zu dieser Zeit in Santa Monica gelebt und gearbeitet, wo sich derweil Tech Unternehmen wie Snapchat, Yahoo, Dollar-Shave-Club, Hulu oder SpaceX in seiner direkten Nachbarschaft angesiedelt haben. Patente & Lizenzen - Ideen zum Markterfolg bringen Nach einem Abstecher an die Universität St. Gallen (HSG) in der Schweiz, hat Peter mit einem Master of Business Administration (MBA) mit Schwerpunkt Innovation & Entrepreneurship cum laude abgeschlossen. Seither hat Peter mehrere Unternehmen gegründet, Produktideen umgesetzt, und Innovationen erfolgreich an Unternehmen lizenziert. Seit 2016 unterstützt er Unternehmer, KMU Geschäftsführer, und Selbständigen dabei, aus deren Ideen einen Markterfolg zu machen.   Peter`s Geschäftsmodell steht auf 2 Säulen zu Patente & Lizenzen - dem Erfinden, also dem Umsetzen eigener Ideen mithilfe von Lizenznehmern, also etablierte Unternehmer mit vorhandener Unternehmensstruktur, Produktion, Sales, Service etc… - zum anderen unterstütze Peter KMU Geschäftsführer, Unternehmer und Selbständige dabei deren Ideen umzusetzen. Der Schlüssel, um erfolgreich zu Innovieren ist möglichst viele Ideen zu validieren, testen und umzusetzen. Clayton Christiansen von der Harvard Universität hat einmal in einer Studie herausgefunden, dass aus 10 Ideen nur 2 oder 3 sich am Markt durchsetzen, im besten Fall eine durch die Decke geht. Erfolg mit Innovation ist ein Zahlenspiel. Um für möglichst viele Ideen umzusetzen, beispielsweise um Prototypen zu bauen (MVPś), Markttests zu machen (proof of market), Patente anzumelden, Kapital zu akquirieren etc. musst du möglichst Kosteneffizient und strategisch klug vorgehen, um nicht schon am Ende zu sein, bevor es losgeht. Patente & Lizenzen: Mit dem 9 stufigen Lean Inventing Ideen testen Dafür hat Peter einen 9 stufigen Innovationsprozess ausgearbeitet, das Lean Inventing. Damit können Peters Kunden einen erproben Prozess durchlaufen, um schnell und kosteneffizient Ideen zu testen, anzupassen, und am Ende erfolgreich umzusetzen. Beispielweise arbeitet Peter ich mit einer Methode um temporären kostenlosen Patentschutz zu nutzen, mit 3-D Druck und anderen Rapid-Prototyping Methoden Prototypen zu bauen, oder der Nutzung von (quasi kostenlosen) staatlichen Fördermitteln. Auf der Finanzierungsseite gibt es nämlich für Selbständige und Unternehmen extrem hilfreiche Unterstützung in Form von staatlichen Fördermitteln. Dafür gibt es wunderbare Programme von Bund und Ländern für innovative Ideen und deren Umsetzung. Der Staat ist daran interessiert, dass Innovation im Land bleibt, Arbeitsplätze geschaffen werden, und am Ende Steuern gezahlt werden. Dafür gibt er gerne Geld für gute Ideen, was eine großartige Starthilfe für die Unternehmen ist um Ideen umzusetzen, oder auch um Risiken zu minimieren wenn mal etwas nicht funktioniert. Und das Beste daran: Du musst dich nicht um aufwendigen Förderanträge, Papierkram oder langes Warten auf die Förderzugsage einstellen. Darum kümmert sich Peter und sein Team, und garantiert dir Fördermittel von bis zu 20.000Eur und mehr, damit Du gleich durchstarten kannst. Dein größter Fehler als Unternehmer?: Meine erste Gründung war mit 22 Jahren, gemeinsam mit einem Partner. Wir waren privat befreundet, beide Techniker, und wollten selbstbestimmt für uns arbeiten, und nicht für andere. Wir hatten die gleichen skills, sollen beide gleichberechtigt entscheiden und Partner sein. Ohne klare Aufgabenteilung nach Fähigkeiten, Interessen oder Stärken. Das hat zwangsläufig zu Konflikten geführt, wir haben beide für weniger Geld mehr gearbeitet, und der Traum von der Freiheit als Unternehmer wurde zum zwischenmenschlichen Albtraum. Später im Studium habe ich die Story einem meiner Professoren erzählt, der auch VC Partner war. Er kannte solche Geschichten zu Hauf. Wenn du gründest, nimm nur einen Partner dazu dazu, wenn sich Fähigkeiten ergänzen, also die Partnerschaft einen finanziellen Mehrwert hat – „only partner for spreadsheet reasons“. Freunde sollst du trotzdem haben, geh mit ihnen feiern oder ein Bier trinken, aber gründe keine Firma gemeinsam nur weil du Gesellschaft brauchst. Deine Lieblings-Internet-Ressource?: Trello, ohne dieses Tool bin ich verloren :) ich arbeite gleichzeitig an mehreren Projekten die ich mit Trello strukturiere, organisiere und manage.   Deine beste Buchempfehlung: Buchtitel 1:   Buchtitel 2:   Kontaktdaten des Interviewpartners: Peter Hug PRODUCT.

This leads to more jobs and income generation benefiting more people and in turn, increased purchasing power and improved qualities of life.The vision: Economic transformation where SMEs in Africa and Latin America can scale sustainably and create well-paid jobs.What they do:Structured blended financeAccess to capital and technical assistance are two of the biggest barriers to businesses getting off the ground. We're willing to take the risk and invest in these impactful SMEs. We do this by offering SMEs with investments that may have lower returns and/or higher risks through measures like technical assistance grants, first loss guarantees, returnable pre-investment stage grants, concessional loans, and/or scaling capital. All of this is done with the expectation that these investments will be truly catalytic and more likely to bring strong social and environmental rewards.GLIC field buildingWe believe gender and climate issues can't be addressed on an ad-hoc basis. Rather, these complex challenges require an intentional approach, which brings explicit gender and climate solutions into all investment decisions. Over recent years, gender lens investing has gained traction, although as global temperatures rise, the demand for climate investing will only continue to increase.
