Speaker For The April 14th Meeting
Meet Mr. Business
Joel Martin Hartstone IS Mr. Business. Just a few years out of Cornell Law School, he became the Chief Investment Counsel for Aetna Life & Casualty, at the time the Nation’s largest diversified financial institution. There, Mr. Hartstone had legal responsibility for the Company’s corporate investments and loan portfolios, including closing all new loans and investments (over $1 billion annually) and managing all troubled assets. He managed a team of 8 corporate finance and investment lawyers and oversaw the work of all outside deal counsel.
From there his career skyrocketed. After six years building a major corporate law firm (now, part of Morgan Lewis), he redirected his career from the practice of law to private investment and merchant banking in 1982. That’s when he co-founded Hartstone & Dickstein Incorporated, which became StoneGate Capital Group in 1996. During that time, Mr. Hartstone has been responsible for engineering billions of dollars of M&A and financing transactions involving hundreds of businesses in numerous industries.
He also held ownership interests in, and directly managed, numerous enterprises. In the media area, as CEO of various private corporations, limited partnerships, and limited liability companies, he managed over 50 radio stations in 20 markets and held ownership interests in over a dozen television stations. He also served as the first President and CEO of Commander Premier Aircraft Corporation.
As the Entrepreneur in Residence at The IP Factory, Inc. (IPF), a non-profit corporation promoted by the State of Connecticut, he engaged and guided student-faculty-technologist teams to originate and explore opportunities to commercialize provided technologies. For promising opportunities, Mr. Hartstone guided the formation of new companies until CEOs or teams were recruited for each venture.
Mr. Hartstone also created a program called the One Day MBA which promises to give students an overview of the basics they need to succeed in business. From that program, Joel will be sharing his module on Marketing. This is not your run of the mill marketing course but an in depth How To presentation, explaining how to pull together all the information needed, analyze it to determine viability and implement the right strategy for success. If anyone knows how to do all this consistently It Is Mr. Business.
So if you don’t come to LIGI Tool & Engineering, Inc. (3220 SW 15th Street Deerfield Beach, FL 33442) on 4/14/18 at 1:00pm and learn all this experienced professional is willing to share, then I don’t want to hear that you don’t know what to do next.
Doors Open at 12:30.
