First-ever: free one-week test work of remote Ukrainian employees for US companies

Fri, 06 May 2022 13:57:34 +0600

Special offer by May 8th from the Ukrainian outstaffing team "Remote Helpers" for Americans.

Remote specialists will conduct an online marathon "Freedom's Way" and help American companies. From May 8th to May 14th, any American company can have a free consultation, and US managers are welcome to choose the date for it. In May, they get a free one-week test period with a "Remote Helpers" specialist. This Ukrainian outstaffing team provides remote IT and Internet marketing employees for international partners. The company has expanded the list of specialists and services.

The United States has been Ukraine's reliable ally since the beginning of the war against the Russian occupiers. American companies most often order the work of remote Ukrainian employees. That is why the company "Remote Helpers" decided to meet American companies halfway, to show what Ukrainian specialists can do. Now, during the war, millions of Ukrainians have left their homes and are in dire need of remote work.

The date of May 8th is doubly symbolic this year. It is riddled with blood and pain. But this is a period of hope too. Since 1914, by decision of the US Congress, Mother's Day has been celebrated on the second Sunday of May. In 2022, it coincides with Victory Day of World War II. In Ukraine, during the war, mothers are called to stop the killings, to save people's lives. The business also needs support. The online marathon "Freedom's Way" will become a symbol of the unification of peoples.

May 8-14, 2022 — free consultations, interviews, selection of the test period date.

1 FREE Testing week of a "Remote Helpers" specialist can be received during the period: May 9-June 30, 2022. Detailed information and reservations — on a web page.

Todd Snyder Joins Geosyntec's San Diego Office as Senior Principal

Thu, 16 Dec 2021 05:09:25 +0600

Todd Snyder (California) recently joined Geosyntec Consultants as a Senior Principal in San Diego, California. Todd brings over 20 years of experience and subject matter expertise in public works, municipal stormwater, planning, and environmental water and natural resources to Geosyntec's California Water Resources Business.

At Geosyntec, Todd will focus on serving and supporting the municipal and public-private sectors, with a focus on environmental compliance, planning, and management; innovative project delivery; environmental, social, and governance and economics (ESG); and climate resiliency and adaptation in infrastructure.

In past roles, Todd has led the County of San Diego's Watershed Protection Program in the Department of Public Works, where he oversaw and directed several high-profile projects such as green stormwater infrastructure, innovative water quality and stormwater funding studies, creation of private property retrofit incentive programs, and multiple Total Maximum Daily Load implementation efforts. He recently served as Vice-Chair and Chair of the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP) and has led a number of multi-agency stormwater initiatives over the past decade. Other experience has included directing long-range land use planning efforts for the unincorporated areas of San Diego County, including management of large-scale General Plan amendments, regional habitat conservation plans, renewable energy initiatives, climate action planning, Zoning Ordinance modifications, and agricultural promotion programs. Todd has served in a lead negotiator role on a variety of regulatory actions involving stormwater and other environmental programs. Additionally, he represented the County's Land Use & Environment Group on the Chief Administrative Officer's "Regional Partnerships - Shared City Initiatives" Audacious Goals Team while being recognized with the County's Excellence in Leadership Award in 2017.

Geosyntec staff are excited about the opportunity that Todd brings with his experience. He will be working closely with Ken Susilo, P.E., D.WRE (California), manager of the California Water Resources Business Operations. "I'm excited because Todd is truly a leader, visionary, and subject matter expert in the San Diego stormwater space," says Ken. "We've had the chance to work closely and collaborate over the last 12 years, and I've always been impressed by his focus on practical, yet meaningful solutions. He will bring these amazing skillsets to the private sector, and our focus will still be supporting the public good, adding his creativity to Geosyntec's significant technical strength in stormwater and water resources."

Thierry Sanglerat, P.E. (California) who serves as Geosyntec's Executive Vice President and business strategist adds "As we think about infrastructure, and particularly green infrastructure and initiatives at the local, state and national levels, we see a tremendous opportunity and need to bring innovative solutions to strengthen our communities. Todd's knowledge of government, paired with our work with public-private partnerships and alternative project delivery, will allow Geosyntec, and the industry as a whole, to deliver innovative and multi-benefit solutions to our clients and our cities. We are thrilled to have him join us."

Geosyntec President & CEO, Peter Zeeb, Ph.D., P.G., LSP (Massachusetts) shares the enthusiasm for Todd joining the firm, as well as the importance of his role. "Stormwater management is a critical practice for the firm because it embodies environmental enhancement at its core, while creating unique opportunities to address social equity and provide resource management and economic benefits at a local and regional scale," states Peter. "We believe Todd's addition to the firm will be transformative, particularly for both our San Diego clients and our California water practice."

In his first days with Geosyntec, Todd noted "having worked with Geosyntec's staff closely for many years, often challenging them with complex problems, I'm really excited to now be part of the team and to continue to advance multi-benefit stormwater solutions."

Blockchain-Based Antifragile Fund, BoCG Ventures, Announces Board Leadership Appointment of Richard Walden, JD

Thu, 25 Nov 2021 12:40:39 +0600

Bothnia Consulting Group is proud to announce the addition of the distinguished and prominent humanitarian figure and attorney, Richard Walden, to its Board of Directors. Walden is one the most trusted voices and brands for disaster aid relief, international development, and global public health legislation.

Richard has served as Co-Founder and CEO of Operation USA for 43 years - an international disaster relief and development agency helping global communities overcome the effects of disasters, disease, violence and endemic poverty. Since inception, OpUSA has deployed more than $450 million across 100 countries. The organization partners with groups such as the United Nations, NASA, and International Rescue Committee. Strategic partnerships include Honeywell, Milton Giving Fund, Sony Music Group, and Stryker. Celebrity affiliates include Julie Andrews, Barbara Streisand, Sharon Stone, Rosario Dawson, Bill Maher, George Hamilton and Jackson Browne.

"The addition of Richard will accelerate our efforts to become a market leader in finding and funding innovative portfolio companies. Our ethos is to democratize antifragile assets - whether that democratization means business model innovations that make expensive items more affordable, fractionalization of assets for distribution, or new service models. Over the past 4 decades, Richard has shown the world how thinking outside the box can cut through the red tape and get things done and we are thrilled to have his counsel." - Lyon Kassab, Managing Partner

As a BoCG Ventures advisor, Richard will oversee the social impact of our venture portfolios from a philanthropic lens. He will play a role in the development of our partnership funnel of globally minded financiers, private institutions, and high net worth individuals. Richard intends to focus his efforts on ensuring that we develop a CSR backbone focusing on underserved and emerging regions.

"I have been around many entrepreneurs, financial institutions, and thriving businesses that go from 0-100 throughout my lifetime. When I was introduced to the intimate operations at BoCG, I knew that it was not only a differentiated model, but also a tool to close the innovation failure gap. Having been a spectator to the accomplishments of the leadership team, I jumped at the opportunity to become a part of this dynamic group." - Richard Walden

Prior to Operation USA, Richard served on California's Health Facilities Commission under Edmund G. Brown (California), Jr., Mayor John Lindsay (New York) and holds close ties with current public officials - including Mayor Eric Garcetti and Governor Gavin Newsom. Walden attended UPenn for Economics, the Wharton School of Finance, and University of Pennsylvania Law School while remaining active in the State Bar of California.

Earnhardt Woman to Woman Is Proud to Recognize the All-Female Quick Lube Service Team

Thu, 18 Nov 2021 11:09:14 +0600

Earnhardt Woman to Woman is proud to recognize the all-female quick lube service team now in the Earnhardt Lexus Service Department. Service technicians Alondra Hernandez, Faith Howard, and Cynthia Vidrio may not have intended to blaze a trail, but they are definitely changing the way that people look at their profession.

"Hopefully, when women see us doing this job, we will inspire some to seek jobs in this field," Alondra Hernandez said. "Our team shouldn't be such an unusual occurrence."

"Growing up, I rarely saw a woman automotive technician," added Faith Howard. "Maybe we can change that."

Unlike many professions today, the gender gap for mechanics has barely changed since 1999, when it was under 2%. The percentage in 2020 was 1.4%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

"The automotive technician field is still more than 90% male, and that's what makes this team remarkable," explained Mollie Everett, Corporate Advertising Manager for Earnhardt Auto Centers. "We celebrate this achievement and look forward to the change this represents."

Hernandez and Howard have been technicians for two years, and Vidrio is a technician apprentice. While it is significant that this trio of auto technicians is all female, they are not the first women to work in the service department at Earnhardt Lexus.

These three follow in the footsteps of a legendary technician, Ali Prager. In the Earnhardt Lexus service department, there is a sign dedicated to her memory.

"Ali could rebuild almost any engine," explained Larry Bockius, service manager at Earnhardt Lexus. "She really made an impact with 20 years of service. It's good to see these newer technicians following in her footsteps."

"Historically, female drivers have felt marginalized by the automotive industry, whether it was by a mechanic or during the car-buying process," explained Mollie. "That's why Woman to Woman exists. In fact, we sponsor free car care classes to help women gain knowledge and confidence."

Earnhardt Auto Centers, a multi-generational family company, began Woman to Woman to better connect with female customers.

"I'd like to add that there is always a shortage of good service technicians," said Bockius. "I hope more women will consider this profession."

"In the meantime, we'll be here doing our jobs and enjoying the challenges it brings," said Cynthia Vidrio.

"Grant's experience and connections will serve the company well as we pursue our vision to accelerate construction starts responsibly and leverage environmental data into massive improvements throughout the construction lifecycle," says Lee Lance, CEO at Ecobot.

"This is exactly the blueprint we had when we initially invested in Ecobot, and it is great to see it all coming together," says Tim McLoughlin, partner at Cofounders Capital and board director at Ecobot. "At Cofounders, we know that it is critical to pull in investors and board members that have deep industry expertise. That is exactly what we got when Shadow Ventures invested and when Grant joined the board."

"One of the bigger advantages a built environment startup can have is surrounding their team with industry veterans who understand the nuanced ways in which this market operates," says KP Reddy, founder, and general partner at Shadow Ventures, an early investor in Ecobot. "Grant McCullagh fits that definition perfectly for Ecobot. As a career built environment executive who's led companies through multiple market cycles and technology waves, Grant has mounds of strategic wisdom to offer the team. His addition to the Ecobot board is a strong signal of the company's impact and future potential. We couldn't be more thrilled about the partnership."

"As the world is evolving to technology that drives ease, speed, and clarity of communications, Ecobot fits the bill perfectly. Additionally, I find platforms with the ability to leverage into even larger TAMs especially exciting," says Mr. McCullagh. "I'm so happy to join the team."

Mr. McCullagh combines a technical background with corporate finance expertise. He currently serves as managing director at TTWiiN, a technology accelerator platform, and at AEC Angels VC Fund. Mr. McCullagh is also a board director at Hill International and Thornton Tomassetti and was previously a board director at WSP Global and OnScale.

Fast-Growing US Med-Equip Again Ranked a 'Top Workplace'

Tue, 16 Nov 2021 10:24:05 +0600

US Med-Equip (USME)—the fastest growing medical device provider that partners with top hospitals across the nation for the rental, sales, service and asset management of movable medical equipment—has been named a 2021 Top Workplace by the Houston Chronicle.

The Houston Chronicle's Top Workplace results are based solely on employee feedback gathered anonymously through a third-party survey on workplace culture. The award recognizes companies that are the best at fostering a desirable working environment and keeping employees empowered and engaged.

USME, which made the list for the third consecutive year, is nationally known for its culture, driven by dedicated employees' shared purpose—to support the important work healthcare providers do every day to help patients heal—resulting in unparalleled customer service and value to its hospital partners.

Houston-based USME is a Houston Business Journal Fast 100 and Middle Market 50 company as well as a nine-time Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing company that serves thousands of hospitals from 44 locations across the country with more on the way. To ensure medical staff have critical equipment and biomedical expertise when they need it to provide patients the best care possible, USME takes orders 24/7 for the rental of diagnostic and clinical devices—from infusion pumps and patient monitors to ventilators, baby incubators and more.

"As we expand rapidly to meet growing demand, our number-one resource and most important investment will always be our US Med-Equip family," USME CEO Greg Salario said. "Each member of our team treats every order and device as though it is on its way to save the life of their own loved one. They understand the importance of the work we do and are dedicated to doing whatever it takes to support our hospital partners and the men, women and children in their care."

Poised for continued growth to meet the nationwide demand for the highest quality moveable medical equipment and services, USME is expanding its team of enthusiastic employees. The company is hiring in Houston and across the country with more openings expected as the new year approaches.

The company offers a comprehensive benefits program with health, dental, life, vision and 401(k). US Med-Equip also offers an employee education assistance program, as well as personal and professional development opportunities. USME employees also support patients in need through nonprofit organizations such as The Periwinkle Foundation, Shriner's Hospitals for Children, Ronald McDonald House, Medical Bridges and more.

WITI Announces Launch of Glass Ceiling Report 2.0 to Push for Greater Equity in Tech

Tue, 09 Nov 2021 09:00:46 +0600

Today, Women in Technology International (WITI) announced the launch of their Glass Ceiling Report 2.0 initiative. This report will update and expand upon the work of the 1995 Federal Glass Ceiling Commission to uncover the institutional biases and systemic barriers that inhibit women and underrepresented minorities from advancing in their organization into positions of seniority. The report will specifically focus on the economic consequences of workplace inequities in the technology sector, prescribe important steps for organizational improvements and ultimately support changes to US policy and practice with benchmarks, standards, and certifications.

WITI participated with the 1995 Federal Glass Ceiling Commission and after 25 years remains committed to equity and social justice with its 150,000+ members worldwide. "While many workplace advances have been made in the last 25 years, businesses still find themselves struggling with crises of inequity, racial injustice and discrimination" said Michelle Bailey, CEO of WITI. "The time is now to bring industry and policy leaders together again to implement systems of accountability for economic sustainability and workplace safeguards."

The Glass Ceiling Report 2.0 initiative aligns with new Executive Orders from the Biden Administration which detail broader reforms to advancing racial equity and support underserved communities and diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in the Federal Government.

"Part of our challenge is we keep looking at this as individual effort only, but it's institutions that have to change their culture, policies and practices for sustainable transformation" said Rene Redwood, former Federal Glass Ceiling Commission Director.

Today, along with announcing the Glass Ceiling Report 2.0 initiative, WITI launched their Glass Ceiling Institute website and podcast, Unravel. The website features research, insights, advice, and stories from our communities as they unfold. The podcast will feature industry experts with their visions on how today's culture and society impact the workplace.

ABOUT WITI

Women in Technology International is the leading organization for the advancement and inclusion of women in business and technology. Our innovative programs and platforms are designed to ensure women, minorities, and technology organizations realize a diverse and inclusive workplace. Our networks, members and employees are experts across dozens of industry and technology fields.
