Cara Carleton "Carly" Fiorina (née Sneed; September 6, 1954) is an American politician and former business executive who currently chairs the non-profit philanthropic organization Good360.
Starting in 1980, Fiorina rose through the ranks to become an executive at AT&T and its equipment and technology spin-off, Lucent Technologies, Inc. As chief executive officer of Hewlett-Packard (HP) from 1999 to 2005, she was the first woman to lead a top 20 company as ranked by Fortune magazine.
In 2002, Fiorina oversaw the biggest high-tech merger in history up to that time, with rival computer company Compaq, which made HP the world's largest personal computer manufacturer. The deal was controversial as analysts were not convinced of its strategic value and it was publicly opposed by several board members and shareholders. Following HP's gain in market share as a result of the 2002 merger, Fiorina laid off 30,000 U.S. employees. By 2004 the number of HP employees was about the same as the pre-merger total of HP and Compaq combined, and that 2004 number included roughly 8,000 employees of companies acquired by HP since 2001.
On February 9, 2005, the HP board of directors forced Fiorina to resign as chief executive officer and chairman over disagreements about the company's performance, disappointing earning reports, and her resistance to transferring authority to division heads. At that time, HP had about 150,000 employees. Its stock price had fallen by approximately half its value compared to when Fiorina had started, while the overall NASDAQ index had decreased by about a quarter owing to turbulence in the tech sector.
After leaving HP, Fiorina served on the boards of several organizations/ She was an adviser to Republican John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign. She won a three-person race for the Republican nomination for the United States Senate in California in 2010, but lost the general election to incumbent Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer by 10 points.
On May 4, 2015, Fiorina announced her candidacy for the Republican nomination in the 2016 presidential election.
Every four years, as America’s campaign cycle rumbles back to life, two of the country’s smaller states again return to the national spotlight.
Taking advantage of this political stage, The Seventy Four aims to bring the urgent conversation of America’s K-12 education system to both Iowa and New Hampshire in the coming months.
As first reported in The New York Times, The Seventy Four, a non-partisan, non-profit news website about education, announced it will be hosting and organizing two 2015 Education Summits beginning in August. Sponsored by the American Federation for Children, the nation’s leading school-choice advocacy organization, and organized in partnership with The Des Moines Register, the first-of-its-kind summits will gather prominent elected officials, political influencers, and education thought leaders to discuss the challenges now facing America’s education system.
“Last year, 1.3 million children dropped out of school, and U.S. students have flatlined on national and international tests,” said Betsy DeVos, chairman of the American Federation for Children. “It’s time to have a national conversation and no better time than as we look to 2016.” (The Seventy Four receives support from the Dick & Betsy DeVos Family Foundation.)
The first of the 2015 Education Summits will be held in New Hampshire on Aug. 19 and will be moderated by The Seventy Four co-founder and Editor-in-Chief Campbell Brown and others. Confirmed speakers (thus far) include Governor Jeb Bush, Governor Chris Christie, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, Governor Bobby Jindal, Governor John Kasich and Governor Scott Walker. (Check out The Seventy Four's detailed education profiles of the six GOP leaders participating Wednesday)
Additional New Hampshire speakers will be confirmed in the coming weeks. Watch The74Million.org and EdSummits2015.org for new announcements, and check back for video and updates from both summits.
“These summits are an unprecedented opportunity to have an honest and intelligent discussion with our leaders about the failures of the education system”
The second summit, to be held in Iowa in October, will be co-hosted by The Seventy Four and The Des Moines Register, Iowa’s most influential news outlet.
The 2015 Iowa Summit will spotlight Democrats from both Iowa and across the nation — elected officials, analysts and thought leaders with clear thoughts on how to solve America’s education challenges.
All speakers at both the 2015 New Hampshire Summit and 2015 Iowa Summit are invited in their current personal or professional capacities and will appear on stage separately for an important conversation about America’s education challenges and opportunities.
When it comes to most political debates, K-12 education issues tend to get overshadowed by a landslide of other domestic policy issues. The 2015 Education Summits will keep the conversation focused on America’s most urgent policy issue, affording featured speakers time to provide in-depth perspectives outside the formal parameters of the presidential debates.
“As the political world descends on New Hampshire and Iowa, these summits are an unprecedented opportunity to have an honest and intelligent discussion with our leaders about the failures of the education system,” Brown said. “We must begin to treat fixing our education system with the urgency the crisis demands, as it is vital not only to our children’s future, but also the future of this nation

The WU Executive Academy is located in the EA building at the west entrance of Campus WU, right next to the entrance of the Messe Wien exhibition grounds and the U2 subway station Messe-Prater. The building was designed by Spanish architects NO.MAD Arquitectos, Madrid.
The EA building is a compact sevenstory tower based on a mono-material design principle. The outer façade is made of glass and aluminum. Different degrees of transparency, from opaque to completely translucent, reflect the sky and the surrounding greenery, integrating the building perfectly into its environment. The upper levels offer spectacular views of Vienna's city center and the nearby Prater Park. The pattern of the windows appears random, but actually follows a specific algorithm.
The building is divided into three functional areas: Four levels house openplan offices, and the upper levels serve as teaching and self-study areas for WU Executive Academy students. The ground floor includes a multi-purpose event venue that can be partitioned with flexible dividers and adapted to suit all kinds of events. The EA building also features a café with spacious outdoor seating on the ground floor and
a restaurant and bar on the roof level. Both the café and the restaurant are open to the public.
The overall mono-material concept based on aluminum and glass is carried over into the interior of the EA building. Floors, wall paneling, and lighting elements throughout the building reflect this uniform design. Contrasting accents provided by additional materials, colors, and design elements highlight only a few selected areas.
The core of the building houses the elevators and utility installations and forms a constant central element with a reflecting surface around which all other rooms are grouped. Untreated, seamless surfaces such as polished concrete floors and raw cement walls characterize the interior, while carpets and curtains provide warm accents in the office, teaching, lounge, and waiting areas. Heavy curtains are used for noise reduction.Die WU Executive Academy ist im Kopfgebäude EA am westlichen Eingang des Campus untergebracht, direkt beim Eingang der Messe Wien und an der U-Bahnstation Messe. Das spanische Architekturbüro NO.MAD Arquitectos, Madrid zeichnet für den Entwurf verantwortlich.
Das Gebäude ist als siebengeschoßiger kompakter Turm ausgebildet und folgt dem Gestaltungsprinzip der Monomaterialität. Die Außenfassade ist aus Glas und Aluminium errichtet und ist in Abstufungen von opak bis transparent lichtdurchlässig. Himmel und Natur spiegeln sich darin und integrieren das Gebäude perfekt in die Umwelt. Von den oberen Geschoßen bietet sich ein spektakulärer Ausblick auf die Wiener Innenstadt und den nahe gelegenen Prater. Die Anordnung der Fenster scheint willkürlich, folgt jedoch einem bestimmten Algorithmus.
Funktional ist das Gebäude in drei Bereiche gegliedert: Vier Geschoße werden als Bürofläche mit Arbeitsplätzen im Open Space genutzt. Die obersten Geschoße stehen den Studierenden der WU Executive Academy als Lehr- und Selbststudienbereich zur Verfügung.
Im Erdgeschoß befindet sich eine multifunktionale Veranstaltungsfläche, die durch flexible Abtrennungs-systeme für Events unterschiedlichster Art genutzt werden kann. Das Gebäude beherbergt weiters zwei Gastronomiebetriebe, ein Café mit großzügiger Terrasse im Erdgeschoß und ein Restaurant mit Bar im Dachgeschoß. Beide Betriebe sind öffentlich zugänglich.
Im Innenausbau kommt ebenfalls ein Minimum an Materialen zum Einsatz, das Konzept der Mono- materialität Alu/Glas wird fortgesetzt: Fußboden, Wandbekleidungen und Beleuchtungskörper ziehen sich einheitlich durch das Gebäude und werden nur in wenigen Zonen durch zusätzliche Materialen, Farben und Elemente kontrastiert.
Der Gebäudekern mit den Aufzügen und Gebäudeinfrastruktur dient als verspiegelte Konstante, um die sich die anderen Räume anordnen. Rohe, fugenlos verlegte Materialen wie polierter Estrich und Sichtbeton dominieren, warme Akzente werden durch Teppiche und Vorhänge in den Büros, Unterrichts-, Lounge- und Wartebereichen gesetzt. Schwere Vorhänge werden als Schallschutz genutzt.

The Americas MBA for Executives is an elective stream in the Beedie School of Business EMBA that provides students from the partner institutions (Vanderbilt University, USA; ITAM, Mexico; and FIA, Brazil) with the opportunity to work together and study management issues in each of the four largest economies in the Americas.
On August 22, a guest panel of speakers from the US, Mexico, and Brazil, all of whom now live and work in Canada, shared with the cohort their insights and experience on conducting business in Canada and how the process compares to their own countries.
The panel consisted of Amir Nasrabadi, General Manager of Pixar Canada; Fernando Alvarez-Garcia, Head of the Business & Economic Affairs office at the Consulate General of Mexico in Vancouver; and Andre Nudelman, President at the Canadian Education Services Latin America. The three discussed various topics centered around the differences in conducting business in Canada compared to their own countries, focusing on cultural differences and what opportunities exist in North and South American markets.

This particular "Master" style executive desk was modified from a 70 1/2"L double pedestal into a 52"L x 30"D x 30"H single pedestal desk. It features a keyboard pull out tray on the left side where you sit at. The pedestal on the right features a small pencil drawer followed by a door that looks like two drawers. The door accommodates a computer tower.
Arched raised panels on the sides and front give this desk class.
