EMP-38
EMP-38
has been a busy group over the past few months. If you have
news to share or can help me update your contact information,
please drop a note to larry.brand@motorola.com.
Ed
Ogata reports that his work as chief medical officer at
Children's Memorial Hospital is continuing apace. He is concentrating
on change and operations management, focusing on best practices.
Ed has also expanded his role at Northwestern and has been
named the Crown Family Professor in Pediatrics and associate
dean of the medical school. What we really want to know, Ed,
is when are you doing your next commercial?
Gary
Weiss left Bank One in January for a new post as chief
financial officer of the Northwestern Healthcare Medical Group.
Gary is responsible for planning and analysis for the corporation.
Scott
Etzler reports great success in his new career as president
of Intercall, a Chicago-based business telephone conferencing
provider. Anyone who wants to join other EMP-38 customers
and help him push 2001 above the $125 million mark is invited
to drop him a line at jetzler@intercall.com.
Betsy
Finkelmeier has also moved, this time from above the diaphragm
to below the diaphragm. Way to go, Betsy! Actually, she has
changed careers from nursing with a heart specialization to
women's health as director of women's health at Northwestern.
Her first big project is to design a new women's hospital
that is scheduled to open in 2005.
Dave
Lucas sends greetings from Philadelphia. He is now president
and CEO of Cruise411.com. His company markets and sells cruises
on the Internet. Classmates are invited to send Dave a note
at: dlucas@cruise411.com. Andy Martin was promoted from vice
president of marketing to president and COO of Advance Publishers
in Orlando, Fla. We understand Andy goes home for a quick
swim at lunch; just another reason to hate him.
Ernest
Lucineo sends greetings to his friends in EMP-38 from
Atlanta. He has recently taken on responsibility for new product
introduction for all BellSouth voice services (Advanced Intelligent
Network and Messaging) for the nine-state region.
Rey
Leon has been promoted at Baxter and is now responsible
for manufacturing in a division with several plants around
the world. Rey, call us from the plane!
Clyde
Rundle and his wife Barb just had twin daughters. Jaclyn
Ann and Abigail June are their names, and they're adorable
(obviously taking after their mother). Clyde is vice president
of human resources at McCook Metals and has given up that
bad habit called "sleeping."
Jeff
Vender has been appointed chairman of the Department of
Anesthesiology and was an interim chairman at Northwestern
Memorial Hospital for a year. No report on if he can do this
while keeping his feet up on the desk like he did in class.
A note
from our favorite funnyman Ian Heller: "I left
GE Capital in 2000 to become vice president of marketing at
Newark Electronics in Chicago (and in case you were about
to ask, the answer is, "No, there is no company called
ŚChicago Electronics' in Newark). Newark is a leading electronics
distributor, owned by a British firm that has operations around
the world (ADR's on the NYSE under ticker symbol PFP). It's
been a terrific chance to jump back into marketing and distribution
(which I missed dearly) and get some good international experience.
We also moved to a home in Lake Bluff."
