The Chronicles of the Former CEO of UTC: Louis Chenevert

Dane ButlerLeave a comment

The primary goal of every investor is to see that their businesses prosper and become among the top listed in the nation and later globally. Achieving such a goal is, however, not a night process. One has to prepare and have a great strategic plan and consider other personality attributes as well.

Many investors begin their journey with a lot of enthusiasm and positivity. However, the moment challenges kick in; they lose their energy. Success can only be achieved if the initial energy is maintained. Instead of giving up, an astute investor finds a way to take advantage and benefit from the problem.

When Louis Chenevert joined UTC as the CEO, the state was experiencing a tough economic time. He, however, managed to increase the shares of the firm and earn the freedom of UTC. This was through the purchase of the GTF engine and Goodrich Company. Despite the investments being costly, they have significantly contributed to the rising of UTC.

Louis Chenevert believed that by helping UTC invest in future technology, he was securing the economy of the United States of America. This is true because the firm is anticipated to hire more than 25000 more employees. There will also be 5000 new economic sectors.

Patience in success is also mandatory. Many investors want to acquire wealth in a fortnight. Such greediness only leads to adverse effects. Success is a process. Louis Chenevert’s success was only celebrated after his reign in UTC. However, he had been working hard since he joined University to study Production Management.

He also worked for 14 years in General Motors. He began as an average employee but later got a chance to serve as the Production General Motors, meaning he oversaw the production of the firm on a large scale basis.

This was not the end of his struggle. After General Motors, he joined Pratt & Whitney. The firm specialized in engine manufacturing. The sector he was working improved due to his commitment and dedication to his work. The firm appreciated this by promoting him to the President of the firm. It is worthwhile to note this was after six years in the firm.

It’s, therefore, essential to be patient and give your best in your work. It is all about trusting the process.

End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller Shares Her Thoughts On Big Money In Politics

Dane ButlerLeave a comment

By revealing the “Big Money 20”, End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller began the campaigning season for the 2-18 Midterms in earnest. The group of 20 Republicans who have been guilty of accepting the most funding from special interest groups was named and shamed by Muller as she set out to show the voters of the U.S. which politicians were backed by so-called “dark money”. T&his is just the latest step in the continued attempts of Tiffany Muller and End Citizens United to bring about election finance reform which many believe has taken democracy out of the American political sector.

End Citizens United came into being in 2015 with the overall aim of repealing the Citizens United decision of 2010 which allowed the almost unlimited funding of political parties and candidates by mega-donors and special interest groups. Over the course of the 2018 Midterms, End Citizens United hopes to back the more than 70 candidates from the Democratic party or left-leaning independents including some of the most famous liberal politicians currently serving in Washington D.C. including Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

The PAC is not only looking to back some of the most famous left-leaning politicians in the U.S. but also to take on the cause of seemingly impossible to win elections. Prior to the 2018 Midterms, End Citizens United built its reputation by backing some of the candidates responsible for the most amazing special election victories since the arrival of President Donald Trump in The White House; End Citizens United played a key role in the special election victory of Doug Jones over former conservative judge Roy Moore in January 2018 as the reputation of the PAC grown over recent years.

As a growing influence in left-leaning political circles, End Citizens United is already being courted by those who are positioning themselves for a Presidential run in 2020. Kirsten Gillibrand, the New York Senator is one of those who has already identified the cause of election funding as a major one in the upcoming elections of 2018 and 2020 and promised not to accept special interest funding throughout the current election cycle. Gillibrand has turned her back on more than $750,000 in funding from special interest groups as she positions herself for a potential Presidential run and hopes to attract younger voters with the aid of End Citizens United.
