1-28, 2006 UCLA MBA Seeks Role with a Boston Landscape Architecture Firm Chris
Martone Finance and marketing professional excited to contribute to a landscape architecture firm in a full-time or consulting capacity for thoughtful planning and execution of finance, operations, strategy or marketing activities. I would be delighted to discuss opportunities or simply discuss any insights into various firms in Boston. My background includes a UCLA MBA, Boston College finance degree, nine years of small business, investment banking and finance experience, and a deep passion for landscape design. Areas of expertise include identifying firm resources, financial management (budgeting, forecasting, cost accounting, audit/tax compliance, banking), strategic planning, project management, establishing and managing strategic partnerships/referral programs and ensuring performance targets are met. A marketing (advertising, PR, promotion) or business development capacity would also be exciting. To nurture passions for landscape design and bringing beauty to the world, I am exploring the field already through strategic consulting to a high-end landscape designer and classes in UCLA's landscape architecture program. In fact, I earned the highest marks in a 50-person design class in UCLA's program for planning and modeling the landscape of a hypothetical 1920's Montecito villa. This gave me a sense for how special it is to present clients with inspiring designs having elements that please and surprise.

Warner, ASLA Boston Landscape Architectural Firm Wins Commission to Design New Linear Park in Trinidad and Tobago
Carol
R. Johnson Associates, Inc., Boston based landscape architects and
environmental planners, recently won a commission to design a new
linear park in Trinidad and Tobago. The park will become the focal
point of the islands' new Tamana InTech Park, the first of a series
of Science and Technology Parks to be built to spur an economic
shift from traditional manufacturing and petrochemical industries
to a more knowledge-based economy. The Science and Technology Park
is being established on the former Wallerfield Aerodrome, a part
of the wider Wallerfield Area of Trinidad which was developed and
used as a U.S. Air Force Base during World War II. The site comprises
approximately 1029 acres and, when complete, the park will be home
to a projected population of 20,000 people. The Evolving TecKnologies
and Enterprise Development Company Limited, better known as e TecK,
will oversee the project. Harry Fuller and John Amodeo will lead
the CRJA design team. Read
