John Bowen President Management Envision Details Rewards of Working in Global Business in Interview for SarderTV

















New York, New York (PRWEB) March 31, 2015

John Bowen, Founder and President of Management Envision, former Director of International Operations at Computer Aid Inc. and CIO of PPL, recently provided an interview for SarderTV, the online video learning channel. Phil Weinzimer, SarderTV correspondent, asked Bowen about his extensive career in global business, the formation of his new company, and about the critical factors he believes led to success in the international world of business. In the interview John Bowen talks about the personal and career rewards that can result from being willing to work and live in a different culture than what you have grown up in.

“John Bowen’s enthusiasm and knowledge about conducting business around the world including being able to live and work successfully in a variety of cultures offers us an insight into international business that is unique providing us with a wealth of valuable information,” said Russell Sarder, CEO of NetCom Learning and creator of SarderTV.

“We are very pleased to be able to provide this interview with John Bowen so that anyone contemplating a career in international business can learn from someone with extensive experience in the global business arena,” said Sarder.

John Bowen credits his parents in large part for his interest and his success in global business. In the interview, Bowen talks about how his family participated in student exchange programs bringing different students to live in their home while going to school. He tells the story of how as a young man he went as an exchange student to Argentina which led to his becoming proficient in Spanish, a language skill that has helped him in his entire career in global business. He also talks about how being a student and living with a family in a foreign country made him aware of the importance of understanding cultural aspects within a country and whetted his interest in learning more about different cultures and people around the world. Bowen also provides useful and critical information for anyone thinking about or already working in the field of international commerce.

SarderTV offers provoking, educational and candid interviews so that new entrepreneurs and aspiring business people can learn from them.

Accounting for Growth: Announcing the Second Annual SUMtech (Un)accounting Conference













New York, New York (PRWEB) April 22, 2015

SUM Innovation, a leading accounting management and consulting firm, announced today that its second annual SUMtech (Un)accounting Conference is scheduled for 6 p.m. EDT Thursday, May 7, 2015, at LDI Color Toolbox in New York City. SUM Innovation is also hosting a series of free webinars in the days leading up to the conference.

The (Un)accounting Conference aims to bring to New York an inspiring, quality experience for businesses and entrepreneurs. SUMtech understands the value of sharing innovative accounting designs not only with accountants, but also with clients, entrepreneurs, business leaders, and technophiles.

The conference includes networking opportunities with free food and drinks. In addition, Heggem will moderate a panel discussion about small business growth and strategy. Panelists include Joshua Johnson of Influence & Co.; Samantha Stephens, chef and founder of OatMeals; Danny Mizrahi, CEO of Contango IT; and small business expert Freda Thomas. Tickets are available online at Eventbrite and must be purchased in advance.

Jonathan Kramer, CEO of Progressive Payment Solutions, praises the conference. “You are guaranteed a great time with high-caliber people,” he said.

In the days leading up to the conference, SUMtech is hosting a series of free webinars. These are scheduled for 12 p.m. EDT Monday through Wednesday, May 4-6.
