by Elizabeth Acebu

TEDxUCSB is this Sunday, April 24! Come hear two TMP lecturers share their "ideas worth spreading": Steve Duneier on "How to Achieve Even your Most Ambitious Goals" and Ken Sterling on "Sales is not a Dirty Word".

For nearly thirty years, Steve Duneier has merged cognitive science with investment management.  The result has been 20+ average annualized returns, the development of a $1.25 billion dollar hedge fund, turnaround of numerous institutional trading businesses and career best returns for experienced portfolio managers who have adopted his methodologies.  Steve teaches Decision Analysis in the UCSB TMP and MTM programs.

Ken Sterling serves as Chief Marketing Officer of BigSpeak, the leading business speakers’ bureau that serves over 70% of the Fortune 1000.  Ken is also a Partner at Valiant Group, managing  a real estate portfolio in excess of $350 million.  His background includes co-founding and advising several startups, including one of the first cloud computing companies.  Ken is passionate about his involvement in instruction, mentoring and enriching student experiences at UCSB and teaches a variety of classes from Business Strategy and Leadership to Entrepreneurial Marketing and more.

--The Master of Technology Management (MTM) program at UC Santa Barbara is designed to catapult engineers and scientists into leadership positions — within both startups and established companies. This 9-month, intensive program is designed to teach the frameworks, skills, and techniques you need to be a successful technology manager. No fluff, no filler.  The MTM degree will get you further, faster.
