1989

	In March, Denise Bindleglass '89 joined Capital H, Inc.

Jason Green sent in this update from Chicago: "Gary Briggs has taken a new job with eBay. The good news is that it's an exciting company and a terrific job as one of their top marketers. The bad news is that Gary, Catherine '94, and their boys will be moving from Chicago to California. One interesting
development on the consulting front has been the emerging area of nanotechnology. I've been working with a client to develop commercialization opportunities for applications of nanotechnology. The entire field is one to watch the next few years. The National Science Foundation predicts that nanotechnology will represent $1 trillion in products and services by 2015, although it is essentially at zero today. Northwestern is a leader in the field, with its Institute for Nanotechnology." Jason consults with The Cambridge
Group.

Larson Stiegemeyer has let me know he is alive and well. He was short on specifics (witness protection program?) but I can report that he is as funny as ever. I'll try and pry some details out of him for a future issue.

Kyle (Doherty) Hodgkins wrote from Cincinnati: "I'm still churning along at this small-scale marketing project management niche I've carved out for myself - four years plus, so I guess this is legitimate! I have a merry band of subcontractors, all MBA-moms who pitch in where needed. I see Roxanne (Pittan) Gottlieb, Heather Winch, Carolyn Glastris and Kathy Kane from time to time, generally on an annual retreat supplemented by medicinal quantities of fine red wine."

Janice (Mabie) MacVicar and her husband, Butch, live in Winnetka, Ill with their 4-year-old boy, Charlie, and 6-month-old twins, Eddie and Audrey. "I am a happy stay-at-home mom," Janice reports. Tim Hoying and his wife, Nancy, welcomed new baby Megan last September, joining Ryan (3) and Rachel (6). Tim is a consultant for A.T. Kearney in Chicago and is "still looking for his lost shaker of salt."

Marc Landsberg e-mailed this newsy missive from Chicago: "I am EVP, director of corporate strategy and mergers and acquisitions for Bcom3, a $2 billion marketing services holding company which owns Leo Burnett, D'Arcy and Starcom. I travel all over the world sourcing and closing deals for our operating companies - from Hong Kong to Stockholm, from London to Warsaw. In early March, Publicis announced that it would acquire Bcom3 and this deal is expected to close sometime this summer. It's been a great, great experience and I've enjoyed every minute.

"Lindsay '90 and I have now expanded our board of directors to three members: Jack (5, at the Latin School), Grace (2, attending the school of scraped knees and big smiles), and George Edward (5 months), our newest addition. Lindsay works part time for Chemistri, Leo Burnett's interactive marketing arm, here in Chicago. Though we still live in the city, it's clearly time to consider the traditional migration in search of more space. "I am in touch with several classmates, including Gary Jones, who has now returned to the Midwest in a senior product management role for a business-to-business manufacturer in Madison, Wis. Amy Laban is a prominent author (she's published two books) and is VP at Lake Capital here in Chicago, a small private equity firm focusing on the marketing services sector. Jim Kalustian is EVP/COO and one of the leaders of Braun Consulting, a public CRM strategic consulting firm here in Chicago. Jim lives in Boston and commutes regularly. Bart Lombardi is a senior consultant and project manager for Braun. Bart relocated his family here for two years on temporary assignment and will likely move back to Boston at some point soon."

After spending two years in the United Kingdom, Steve Frezier moved back to the United States in August 2001. He is now vice president of U.S. retail for Amazon.com, and manages Amazon's home and electronics businesses. He lives in Mercer Island, Wash. In March, Denise Bindleglass joined Capital H, Inc. as managing director for its Chicago office. Previously, Denise was managing director for the Midwest office of Redwood Partners. Capital H
provides many innovative HR services.

That's it for this month. Thanks to all who contributed. I hope to hear from more of you for the next issue.
