The Secret is Out
What Happens in Canada... Doesn't Stay in Canada
Marketing innovation in Canada is spilling out, to the US and beyond! The leaders of ING Direct and TAXI will highlight their groundbreaking work in Canada, and how it drove success beyond its borders.
Arkadi Kuhlmann
Founder, ING Direct USA
Under the leadership of Toronto native Arkadi Kuhlmann, ING Direct pioneered an internet
banking business model which promoted savings to a new generation. First in Canada, then in the US,
the business successfully took hold via a combination of online marketing and retail cafe
locations, where ING Direct savings accounts are pitched alongside inexpensive lunches, coffee, and
pastries.

The on-line Walls Street Journal Careers section is informative and
one
of my favorite articles showed a “Before” and “After” accounting resume. The “After” version
includes a description of accomplishments, results and impact on the company. You can view the
resume by clicking on the image to the right, or by
clicking
here. Does your resume show the value you bring to the job? Students are invited to make
an appointment with me to evaluate whether your resume is marketing you effectively. Contact Grace
Whiting at:

Executives Club of Chicago
In the past year, the Brennan School of Business has had seven invitations to attend
presentations at the Executives Club of Chicago. Our table of 10 was sponsored by CEOs of several
companies, including United Stationers, Merrill Lynch, Charter One Bank- Illinois and Potbelly
Sandwiches. The CEOs purchased a table for MBA students, recognizing them as “emerging leaders”.
These opportunities allow business students to hear discussion of current topics, led by CEOs and
top decision makers of Chicago corporations. When the Executive’s Club extends an invitation, an
e-mail will go out to all current BSB students, inviting them to respond. It is usually limited to
the first ten respondents. If you see such an e-mail, consider attending a CEO Breakfast or a
Luncheon Presentation & Panel. The Executives’ Club of Chicago events have usually been at the
Chicago Hilton or the Fairmont Hotel.
