Powerhouse investors talk shop at USFSP

While education is typically the bedrock of a successful career, there is no substitution for experience; Cathie Wood, founder of ARK Invest, and Tom Frederick, founding partner of TampaBay.Ventures, have that in spades.

When Wood moved her multi-billion dollar investment firm from New York City to St. Petersburg last year, it was one of the most celebrated additions since MLB granted the city a baseball franchise in 1995. Frederick co-founded Tampa-based business technology company Zeno Office solutions and sold it to Xerox in 2013, after reaching $65 million in annual revenue.

Parks department is ‘more than the fun stuff’

St. Petersburg's Parks & Recreation Department's scope of responsibilities extends far beyond the city's greenspaces and recreation centers before, during and after a natural disaster.

The department is a vital cog in St. Petersburg's Hurricane Ian cleanup efforts, explained Mike Jefferis, Leisure services administrator, and it is currently overseeing an extensive debris removal process. After ensuring safe passage for first responders and that parks are safe from half-fallen trees, Jefferis and his team - along with support from the city's sanitation and stormwater departments - have now turned their attention to clearing city streets and residences.
