It was the type of CFO position that Gary Zyla probably would not have been able to find outside of Genworth Financial, a financial services company that he had first joined in 2004. Not that his resume didn't already have some solid CFO prerequisites, but the leadership challenge that Zyla was about to take on was less about capital management and more about establishing the business functions required to run a business day by day. “Genworth said, ‘Look, this is a very broad role—we're going to take a leap of faith with you,'” recalls Zyla, whose appointment as CFO of Genworth's newly formed California-based subsidiary came 7 years after he had first joined the company. Still, what happened next was arguably the most pivotal moment of Zyla's career, as in 2013—2 years after he had relocated to California to better fulfill his CFO duties—Genworth announced plans to sell his division to a private equity firm. “Once it was sold, I was the CFO of this 350-person privately held business,” continues Zyla, who subsequently began reporting to the company's private equity owner. “The new owners were very clear to me about what they wanted the business to be,” comments Zyla, who reports that the owners would ultimately earn four-and-a-half times their original investment before selling the business known as AssetMark to Huatai Securities Co. Ltd. in 2016. Besides the two private equity ownership transactions (2013, 2016), Zyla's CFO career has also spanned an IPO (2019) and six different acquisitions within the past 7 years—which is not bad at all for a finance leader who has yet to look outside his company for opportunities. - Jack Sweeney
New Month, New Series! In the STEM Career Paths Series, we will provide insight into various STEM career paths. Too often, people don't realize the large amount of career opportunities available in STEM. Sometimes these careers aren't brought to our attention as a person of color, which can lead to missed opportunities and money for us. This week we will cover the career as an Actuary. Actuaries help companies assess and plan for financial risks. Did you know this profession tops the list as the least stressful job with an average salary of over $100,000? Although there are many opportunities in this field, it does not have the diversity that it needs or desires. Our special guest, Jamala Arland, is working to flip the script on underrepresentation in the STEM field, particularly in the often-overlooked profession of an Actuary. Jamala has over 16 years of experience working as an Actuary. She is the Senior Vice President of Long-Term Care Inforce at Genworth Financial. She is also former Chairperson of the Society of Actuaries (SOA)'s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Committee. Tune in as Jamala shares her journey of being one of 250 black actuaries in the United States, obstacles people of color face, and the SOA's commitment to building equitable opportunities for all members and candidates to enter, develop, grow and succeed in the actuarial profession.

People are encouraged to plan for retirement (Save money!) and dying (Make a will!). But many of us — maybe most of us — forget that there can be a long (and expensive) time in between. In this episode, host Lenore Tracey talks with author, humorist, and elder law attorney Cathy Sikorski. Cathy's new book, 12 Conversations: How To Talk to Almost Anyone About Long-Term Care Planning gives caregivers and future care recipients — all of us — reasons to talk to each other about how we'll pay for care and what types of care we want. Better yet, Cathy gives us the language to deal with these conversations, no matter who you're talking to — Mom, Dad, your grown-up kids, your Uncle Fred, your doctor, or your mom's doctor.Check out what long-term care care costs where you (or your loved one) live: https://www.genworth.com/aging-and-you/finances/cost-of-care.html.

Cathy's wicked sense of humor and commitment to straight talk will prepare you to get through these conversations successfully - maybe even gracefully! Cathy's first book was a memoir, Showering with Nana: Confessions of a Serial (killer) Caregiver. That was followed by Who Moved My Teeth? - a humorous and informative book with practical and legal tips for caregivers and baby boomers. Cathy maintains an active blog “You just have to Laugh…where Caregiving is Comedy…”.

By the time he was in high school, the financial crisis of 2008 was in full swing. Jake would ask for shares of stock for Christmas, and by the age of 16, his mom was letting him trade her account as well as his own. He learned about the markets from reading message boards and through trial and error. Jake was good at trading beaten down names like AIG, Wells Fargo, and Genworth Financial. He attributes his success to lots of luck and an emotional detachment to his trading, since he wasn't using his own funds for investment. Jake stopped trading while he went to college to study economics. This ultimately led him to a greater understanding of how the markets actually operate. Entry PointJake likes to use basic volume-weighted average prices to determine where to enter a trade. He looks at volume from a specific anchor point in time.

CED's Shareholder Versus Stakeholder Capitalism podcast series consists of compelling conversation with CEOs about whether there is a shift towards stakeholder capitalism underway and the implications of the debate on the CEOs' leadership roles within their companies and in society.

The responsibility of transformation leaders is to lead through this gap and bring people and organizations along the way. This brings special leadership challenges. In the “Leading in the Gap” series you will hear transformation leaders working in various industries share their perspectives on the challenges of leading transformation, what works for them, lessons learned, and what they wish someone had told them to better prepare for the role of leading in the gap.

Join Michael and Robin as we discuss the personal and professional costs of Elder Care in the workplace with Larry Nisenson of Genworth Financial. We will discuss how employers can help their employees address a mounting issue facing human resources executives today. Corporate America should brace itself for a potential “Caregiver Benefit Crisis” that threatens to impact its employee benefits policies and fiscal bottom line. As our nation’s businesses begin to reinvent themselves for a post-pandemic world, the eye-opening facts from the recent National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP, Caregiving in the U.S. 2020 study have underscored the critical need for employee benefit policies to be reevaluated for our 42 million family caregivers who struggle to cope with the emotional, physical and financial challenges posed by caring for aging loved ones. And, it's not just Boomers and Gen X anymore: Caregivers now span four generations with more young people providing care, including 6% who are Gen Z and 23% who are Millennials. Is this a wake-up call for businesses and the future of employee benefit policies? How can businesses and caregivers collaborate to address this mounting crisis? How will these dynamics impact employers from a financial, productivity and recruitment perspective? What employer and community resources are available to caregivers as they serve as the main source of family support?
Larry Nisenson, SVP and Chief Commercial Officer at Genworth Financial, joins Suzanne for this show to discuss Genworth's trailblazing help for family caregivers. Nobody plans to be a caregiver – you're suddenly thrust into this role when you least expect it, and Larry has been through it twice. In this segment, Larry talks about how the challenges of the pandemic is affecting caregivers.

Nobody plans to be a caregiver – you're suddenly thrust into this role when you least expect it, and Larry has been through it twice. In this segment, Larry introduces Genworth, which originated long-term care policies more than 40 years ago. These policies help provide a way for people to finance their own aging. It takes the financial burden away, but it doesn't take the emotional burden away for caregivers. Larry's father had a long-term care policy but was still struck by all the other challenges. When he joined Genworth, he looked for what more the company could do for caregivers to provide help, education, and awareness.

The entertaining Genworth Financial team joins us from OPEX Week 2020 to tell us their enterprise's transformation story—or journey, more accurately. Kathleen starts off by explaining her view of the company 15 years ago: “It was a very siloed organization. It was very much command and control; very hierarchical. We were focused very much on our processes, like manufacturing, because we came from GE.” Sometimes, as Martijn is quick to interject, they were focusing on the wrong processes. Their new goal was to focus on the customer and increase associate empathy. The leadership team achieved this with some creative physical props that mimic certain hardships their clients experience. However, leading by fear negatively impacts the service a customer receives as well, so Genworth devised a new workforce strategy. “If you really truly believe that the customer is the most important person--because he or she pays your salary--then the front line employees are the most important people, and therefore, your team leaders are the most important leaders. Most people leave their leader. They don't leave the organization.” The team details how they achieved this monumental task.

Raising 'Rents (as in paRents) a show about caring for an aging parent or adult
Host Zack Demopoulos launches his 30 day preparation plan to care for an aging adult. He continues with Day 17 where he talks about hiring a professional caregiver. Specifically how to choose a home care agency, what to look out for, what to ask, and how to protect your family. In Part 2 we will cover questions that you should ask a home care agency before you hire them, what the next steps are after you have identified the right home agency for your parent or parents, the different type of options for shifts including 24/7 or live in’s, how to protect your family when aides visit their home, what home care costs, and the pro’s and con’s of hiring a caregiver privately. This show is sponsored by ComForCare, a national home care provider that will help you live your best life possible. https://comforcare.com/ This is Part 2 of Day 17 of the 30 Day Preparation Plan to care for an aging parent. The Prep Plan is all about helping you the family caregiver provide your loved one with the best comfortable safest and efficient caring environment in which they can grow old in. The topic we continue with today is one option for long term care which is home care. If you have not had a chance to listen to Days 1 through 16, please go back to Season 1 and check out these episodes. Also in Season 1 we introduce the 9 beginner steps in raising your parents. http://raisingparentspodcast.com/page/5/ We also discussed on the Day 14 Episode how your parents can age in place—what to consider so that they can live at home independently as they get older in a safe environment and with dignity. Be sure to check that show out to if you haven’t already. http://raisingparentspodcast.com/episode-023-day-14-what-is-aging-in-place-for-mom-dad/ So now you have done your initial research and you have a few home care agencies that you want to ask questions. Here are a list of example questions you should be asking a home care agency you are considering to hire: What type of agency are they? Are the aides their employees that is they are W2’s and all appropriate taxes are taken out by them or are they more of a placement agency and the aides are independent contractors that is they are 1099’s. Typically an agency will appear to be much less expensive but what might be happening is that they are just placing aides in your home and you are considered the employer making you responsible for things like employee taxes, social security, and workers compensation. Are they licensed, insured and bonded? Most states require these. I would not put anyone in my house if they weren’t. Will they provide you references. And if you get them, call them! Ask for an actual client and another one that is a family member the agency assisted in caring for their loved one. What are the office hours? What happens after hours? When they tell you they are 24/7, clarify what that means. VOicemail? On call service? And I would go as far as testing them. Okay don’t call them 3 in the morning but I would definitely call them after hours to see the response rate and availability. Is there a nurse on staff? What do they do? Look for things like create the care plan, supervise the aides, monitor the care the aides are providing, assess your family member and do reassessments through out the year to keep the care plan up to date. The care plan, by the way, should be written, a copy left in the house, and the aide or aides use it to review what is expected of them in caring for your parent. Are the aides certified or licensed? How do they get certified? What is your hiring process when you hire an aide. What is your training program? What is your follow up once you place an aide in your parents home. Do they make unannounced visits? When can you expect these? What are the costs? Is there a charge for the nurse? Additional costs beyond the hourly rate? IS there a night or weekend rate? How about holidays? Is a deposit required and how does that work? Is there a minimum hourly commitment per shift and per week? What is the cancellation policy? When are you billed? Do they take any insurances? (Usually not, long term care insurance, Medicaid). Medicare supplemental in 2019. Ask for copy of the written agreement that your parent or you will have to sign. Be sure to read it thoroughly and ask questions before you sign it. Typically these agreements are more about protecting you than the provider but still very important to understand what you are signing. Ask if you can meet the aide in advance? And what is the process if it is not working out with the aide they assigned. What do they do when an aide cant make it to their shift? Next steps: Nurse conducts an initial assessment of whom is receiving the care and they create the care plan. The agency then matches from their qualified staff who would be the best choice. Ask about this process. Typically you can find aides to do pretty much any kind of shift you need. As little as one hour or two per day or week, shifts that match your working hours, overnight staff, weekend help, around the clock 24/7 or someone who lives with your parent. Important to note that someone who lives with someone they are caring for is NOT considered working around the clock. Zack reviews these types of shifts. Must protect your family. First of all, even though agencies will tell you they are bonded and insured, you still want to eliminate any chances of theft. I would make sure all valuables are locked up. I would also make sure any information with social security numbers and confidential information that can lead to identity theft be out eyesight. Warn your parents of any suspicious behavior and how they must report it immediately. Never never give an aide money or credit cards unless you know about it and it is for an exact purchase—like groceries. No check books should be out. Make unannounced visits all the time with no real schedule. The aide should never know when you are coming. The agency should be making unannounced visits as well and report to you anything they observe. Zack reviews what homecare can cost and some ways to pay for it. You’ll get a few hours paid for by Medicare if a doctor prescribes it and if it is related to a hospital discharge. If a parent qualifies for Medicaid, which I recommend everyone always explore as a long term back up plan, then home care can be paid for by them. There is long term care insurance which pays for some home care but typically you need to have had that for a while and it is expensive. The Veterans Administration has a program called Aid and Attendance which if someone qualifies as a vet during an active war and they fall under thefinancial guidelines, they can receive a pension payment every month towards home care. https://www.benefits.va.gov/pension/aid_attendance_housebound.asp The Alzheimer’s Association may provide some relief as well if the care recipient has dementia. You would need to contact your local chapter to see there are any funds available. https://www.alz.org/help-support/caregiving/care-options/in-home-care Contact the Area Agency On Aging to see if there is any kind of respite care that is paid for. The average cost across the nation is $20 an hour according to a survey conducted by Genworth Financial in 2015. http://www.aging.com/in-home-care-costs-breakdown/. The average monthly cost is around $4,000 per month. Of course this depends on how much home care you are getting, are there overnight and weekend higher rates, are you higher in a live in? The Survey Showed That The Most Expensive States As Far As Senior In-Home Care Is Concerned Include (Average Costs): North Dakota – $27 Alaska – $26 Hawaii – $25 Massachusetts – $25 Minnesota – $25 Rhode Island – $25 While The States With The Least Expensive Senior In-Home Care Services Include (Average Costs): Louisiana and West Virginia – $16 Alabama, Arkansas and Mississippi – $17 Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee – $18 Other issues around cost: Be sure to ask the agency about all costs involved. Is there a charge for the nurse when they conduct assessments? Most agencies include the cost in their rates. Others do not. Is there a deposit required? Is it 100% refundable. Some agencies ask for two weeks of service in advance. How is payment received? Credit card? Automatic electronic withdrawal from checking accounts which is convenient for long distance caregivers. WHat is the cancellation policy and are there any costs involved with that? Hiring a family caregiver has a lot of upside. Usually already trusted and known by the family. Feel more comfortable with them. Usually affordable. May show more care and compassion and attention to your parents. The down side? Family conflicts arise from family caregivers. It is important to clarify their role and be specific to what they can and cant do and who they “report” to. If you are paying them, then remember, you are the employer. Taxes and workers compensation may be required to be taken out. Check with your state laws. And most long term care insurance companies will only reimburse home care costs if the caregiver came from an agency so check with them as well before you start. Hiring a private aide is also affordable but like the family caregivers has some risks: Tey are your employee so check with your state laws. You usually as the employer are responsible to report their wages, take out for taxes and social security, and pay for workers compensation. Did you conduct a background check and thoroughly research their references. What is their training? Usually they are not certified and they are not being supervised by a nurse. If something happens, like they have an accident or theft occurs, how will you handle it? If they do not show up to work or get sick, how will you replace them? Be extra diligent in your evaluation of that option and know that you will need to closely manage the situation to make sure it is a good option. Here is the last piece of advice if this applies to you: If it is not urgent or an emergency to hire a caregiver whether it is private or from a home care agency, take your time and do your research. That way the head will work equally as the heart. This is an emotional process and a very important decision to make. Take it seriously. The good news is that there are many good agencies out there so doing your research will reveal good choices. So that’s Day 17.

There have been talks that have identified the risks that are caused by the inherent trust between the OS and any device attached by USB. I found in my research that most of the available payloads for the USB rubber ducky would be stopped by common enterprise security solutions. I then set out to create a new exploit that would force the victim to trust my Man-In-The-Middle access point. After my payload is deployed, all Wi-Fi communications will be readable, including usernames, passwords and authentication cookies. The attack will work without the need of elevating privileges, which makes it ideal for corporate environments. Jeremy has built his career around protecting assets in the most critical IT sectors. He started his career working in a Network Operations Security Center for the US Army. He then went on to work as a Network Security Engineer defending Dominion’s North Anna Nuclear Power Station. He is currently a Senior Network Security Engineer/Architect at Genworth Financial. He is a MBA, CISSP, CEH, GIAC GPPA, CSA CCSK, ABCDEFG… Blah Blah Blah. Jeremy has spent over 10 years researching and implementing new ways to defend against the latest attacks. He enjoys creating new exploits and feels it makes him a more well-rounded defensive Security Engineer. He is happily married and a father to two soon to be hackers. When he’s not staring at a command prompt, he is busy building and driving demolition derby cars. Twitter: @jdorrough1
