Subject: BDI Upcoming Events, Free Webinars & Content

The Financial Services Social Communications Leadership Forum is an exclusive group of senior marketing and communications executives from prominent consumer and institutional organizations including insurers, banks, and funds. The forum was created from attendee feedback from many of our cross-industry Social Communications conferences over the past few years. Our financial services attendees requested an industry-only program to learn and discuss specific issues and opportunities in a smaller, more intimate, interactive environment. We will meet in New York City on a quarterly basis at New York University's midtown conference center. The June forum will have presentations by representatives from Face Time Communications, Wall Street Journal Online New York, Scottrade Inc., New York Stock Exchange, Alliance Bernstein, Lightspeed Financial and others. For additional information, including registration, please visit the event website. Use promo code BDI
by May 27th for a discounted rate of $175.

Leading brands are engaging customers, employees, and recruiting through social media and networking channels. Whether it's JetBlue responding to a traveler's concern as she tweets from the airplane or Deloitte strengthening ties with alumni through social networks; the silos of communications, marketing, customer service, and human resources are converging. This conference will showcase case studies of how leading consumer and B2B brands are embracing social media and networking across the enterprise. Register at the event website to see case studies presented by representatives from Unilever, JetBlue Airways, Century 21 Real Estate LLC, SAP and others. The Keynote Case Study will be delivered by Brian Kenny, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, Harvard Business School The case studies will be followed by two interactive roundtable sessions moderated by industry leaders. For more information, including registration, on Social Convergence & The
Enterprise: Case Studies & Roundtables, please visit the event website. Use promo code BDIEB by May 27th for a discounted rate of $155.

POSITION DESCRIPTION:

Senior Investment Associate Program

Our client is looking for people who can be the leaders of the company,
starting on their very first day.

The firm manages global investments for a wide array of institutional
clients, including foreign governments and central banks, corporate and
public pension funds, university endowments, and charitable foundations. It
is a highly entrepreneurial company, driven to success by: its process, its
people, and its culture. They have invented, and keep inventing, superior
approaches to investing and technology. They have fueled this innovation by
recruiting talented, creative people from all backgrounds and promoting an
invigorating and collaborative work environment. The firm is committed to
the constant pursuit of excellence, and the belief that a meritocracy of
ideas, not
hierarchies, drives decision¡¾making.

They are looking to hire the next generation of investment thought leaders.
They seek candidates of all backgrounds who have the creativity, initiative,
and intelligence to lead the Firm through current and future challenges.
They are based in Westport, Connecticut.

What are the keys to their success?
- A meritocracy of ideas: Argue. Criticize. Confront. Challenge. If they let
bureaucracy and hierarchy guide their decisions, they won't get all the
best ideas. That is why they insist on a culture in which the best ideas
win, regardless of who is expressing them or how they are expressed.
Everyone
is required to generate ideas and actively participate in their objective
critique and evaluation.
- Constant improvement: Never stop inventing. Sophisticated investors demand
exceptional returns, world-class service, and seamless infrastructure and
controls. They can deliver on this promise only if they stay at the cutting
edge in understanding their markets and their business. No matter how good
their performance, their systems or processes, they always focus on making
them better.
- Principled management: Ask how things should be. Spot the obstacles.
Reflect deeply on their root causes, and then answer with logic that will
guide you and others to achieve these goals now and into the future. Capture
this logic in simple language, and then share it. When the entire company
acts in this way, this is management not through whim or fiat or hierarchy,
but through principles. This is the type of management they strive for at
the Company.

POSITION SUMMARY:
We are recruiting the next generation of the firm's investment thought
leaders: highly motivated,exceptional individuals with a passion for the
markets and investing, who possess the creativity,leadership, and conceptual
intelligence necessary to ensure that the firm continues to beat global
markets while preserving their meritocratic culture.

Some Investment Associates develop into subject matter experts within a
division, while others become excellent investment generalists. As such,
Investment Associates can be rotated throughout the four departments of
Research, Trading, Account Management and Client Service if it is
beneficial to the Associate and to the firm. Based on each department's
focus, the company looks to the Investment Associates to add value through
research projects and analysis:
-Research: Help evaluate and design new portfolio strategies by developing a
deep understanding of the relationship between economies and markets
-Account Management: Translate the company's market views into specific

*** No MBA's, MD's or Ph.D.'s, please. Thank you! ***

FIRM DESCRIPTION: Our client is an established, traditional early stage
venture capital firm with AUM between $250M - $500M. They are focused
entirely on medical devices and pharmaceuticals. A typical first investment
in a portfolio company ranges from $2M - $8M. The partnership has a combined
70 years of healthcare experience across 50 different private companies.

JOB DESCRIPTION: The Analyst will be working closely with multiple
investment principals on this small, flat healthcare venture capital team.
This is a junior investment apprentice role, which is to say that this is
explicitly not a role where the Analyst is expected to generate proprietary
deal flow through cold calling or similar outbound efforts. The Analyst will
be engaged in nearly all aspects of venture capital investing from logging
incoming business plans, to conducting all stages of due diligence (such as
financial modeling and market research), to participating in investment
recommendations, and to assisting portfolio companies with operating issues.
In addition, the Analyst will be expected to contribute to other firm
activities such as production of presentations updating the firm's Limited
Partners (investors) on deal and portfolio company activity.

CRITERIA: The ideal candidate will be an intellectually curious, fact-based
problem solver who possesses a genuine enthusiasm for healthcare venture
capital investing in general, and for all stages of investing in medical
devices or pharmaceuticals in particular. Qualitatively, the ideal candidate
must be self directed yet flexible, to be able to switch across a variety of
tasks in a highly dynamic, minimally-structured environment.

ACADEMIC QUALIFICATIONS: Strong academic performance as demonstrated by both
standardized test scores and cumulative undergraduate GPA is expected of all
viable candidates. Technical degrees such as biology or biomedical
engineering are preferred but not required.

WORK QUALIFICATIONS:
- At least one year at a top tier investment bank or strategy consulting
firm, with an industry or client focus on pharmaceutical, medical device or
biotech companies. Alternatively, candidates may come from appropriate roles
(e.g., corporate development) directly within the pharmaceutical or medical
device sectors. Candidates without current work experience in the relevant
sectors may be considered, but should have an appropriately relevant degree
(e.g., biology) or otherwise be able to demonstrate a long standing
professional interest in medical devices or pharmaceuticals.
- Fluent oral and written English communication skills.
- Demonstrated ability to analyze issues as an investor, e.g., value a pre
revenue company, synthesize multiple issues to make a private company
investment recommendation.
- Strong work ethic, including a willingness to accomplish whatever task is
at hand that will help the investment team as a whole.

WORK AUTHORIZATION: Candidates must already be authorized to work in the US.

START DATE: Candidates will be expected to start by Summer 2010.

COMPENSATION: Dependent on experience, but market competitive for investment
professionals at early stage venture capital firms, with two years of total
work experience. Relocation assistance available.

TENURE: The likely tenure for the Analyst is two or three years.

*** NOTE: Due to contractual obligations, Glocap cannot share the name of
this client with candidates, unless the client decides that they want to
conduct a first round interview with you. ***

TITLE: SENIOR MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATE
Our client is looking for people who can be the leaders of the company -
starting on their very first day.

CLIENT DESCRIPTION:
The Fund manages global investments for a wide array of institutional
clients, including foreign governments and central banks, corporate and
public pension funds, university endowments and charitable foundations. They
have invented, and keep inventing, superior approaches to investment,
management and technology.
They fuel this innovation by recruiting talented, creative people from all
backgrounds and promoting an invigorating and collaborative work
environment.

What you'll find at our Client is a highly entrepreneurial company, driven
to success by its philosophy, its people, and its culture. They are
committed to the constant pursuit of excellence, and the belief that a
meritocracy of ideas, not hierarchy, should drive decision-making.

They are looking to hire the next generation of managers. They seek
candidates of all backgrounds who have the creativity, initiative, and
intelligence to lead the Firm through current and future challenges.
They are based in Westport, Connecticut.

What are the keys to their success?
A meritocracy of ideas: Argue. Criticize. Confront. Challenge. If they let
bureaucracy and hierarchy guide their decisions, they won't get all the
best ideas. That is why they insist on a culture in which the best ideas
win, regardless of who is expressing them or how they are expressed.
Everyone
is required to generate ideas and actively participate in their objective
critique and evaluation.
Constant improvement: Never stop inventing. Sophisticated investors demand
exceptional returns, world-class service, and seamless infrastructure and
controls. They can deliver on this promise only if they stay at the cutting
edge in understanding their markets and their business. No matter how good
their performance, their systems or processes, they always focus on making
them better.
Principled management: Ask how things should be. Spot the obstacles. Reflect
deeply on their root causes, and then answer with logic that
will guide you and others to achieve these goals now and into the future.
Capture this logic in simple language, and then share it. When the entire
company acts in this way, this is management not through whim or fiat or
hierarchy, but through principles. This is the type of management they
strive
for at the Company.

POSITION SUMMARY:
As a Senior Management Associate you will work with the Fund's leaders to
address the most pressing problems facing the company. On day one, you will
be expected to act like an owner of the company and, soon after, to take on
significant management responsibilities. You will:
- Focus on understanding and solving some of their most significant
management challenges
- Work closely with other managers throughout the fund, learning from them
and helping them improve their management techniques
- Be challenged by an intense training regimen designed to improve your
management abilities and skills through honest feedback
- Receive intense mentoring and coaching from other senior leaders, and have
the opportunity to mentor and coach others

Assignments vary widely, and can change dramatically over time as you
develop. Your initial role may be to manage an important sub-department or
department, or to ensure that a critical goal is met firm wide. The most
successful Senior Management Associates will advance quickly into the
leadership of the Fund, joining discussions about the direction of the
company.

POSITION REQUIREMENTS:
- The highest standards of integrity, honesty, and mutual consideration
- Extraordinary conceptual and analytical capability, curiosity, strategic
thinking, and the ability to rapidly learn and apply new concepts
- A drive for results that reflects an ownership mentality
- A college degree and relevant prior work experience (ranging from several
years to several decades).

Preferred candidates would also meet the following criteria:
- A business school or other advanced degree is welcome but not required

They are an Affirmative Action - Equal Opportunity Employer.
