Entrepreneurs-in-Residence and Entrepreneurial Fellows
Georgia Southern University has agreed to begin a program of recruitment of entrepreneurs-in-residence and entrepreneurial fellows. Both roles are voluntary but designed to be prestigious in recognizing the entrepreneurial successes of local people. The entrepreneurs-in-residence are entrepreneurs, who are typically retired, who would like to give back to the community by providing their entrepreneurial experience two days a week. Two current opportunities exist for entrepreneurs-in-residence, to help develop a program of support for students trying to start businesses and to drive forward our support and activities for local entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneurial fellows are practicing entrepreneurs who are prepared to give at least 10 hours of their time each semester to be engaged in our teaching and learning. If you are interested in these roles or know somebody who might be please contact Dr. Luke Pittaway.
We would like to welcome two newly appointed entrepreneurial fellows:
Uly Knotts III, who is currently the CFO and CTO of the Sack Group of Companies and an innovative serial entrepreneur of 35 years experience including building a start-up from inception to a publicly traded company in 11 months. Uly is tutoring MBA students on their business plans.
Larry Zaslavsky is a qualified CPA and attorney who has a history of entrepreneurial experience going back to 1975. He has owned, been a CEO or CFO of over 15 companies ranging from Candy Distributor, through Job Placement to a Hedge Fund. He retired and for fun invests in real estate in Hinesville, Rincon, Statesboro and Savannah. Larry is also tutoring MBA students on their business plans.
