Robin Kovitz (MBA 2007, @robinkovitz), president and CEO of Baskits (@baskitsinc)—one of Canada’s leading gift services companies—discusses her “acquisition entrepreneurship” journey on the latest Skydeck. (Excerpted from the new HBS podcast, Think Big, Buy Small.) Hear more at the link in our bio.
Wolfgang Puck (OPM 53, 2019, @wolfgangpuck)—aka the father of California cuisine, OG celebrity chef, and culinary empire-builder—began his career as a disgraced cook’s apprentice at a hotel restaurant. At 14, he’d been eager to take the post just outside his Austrian hometown: Not only was he always happiest in the kitchen but the job also was a chance to escape a brutish stepfather at home. Alas, not long after he started, he was abruptly fired by a volatile cook. Despondent to the point of desperation, Puck says, “a light went on in my brain: What if I just go back tomorrow and see what happens?”
It was the first in a long series of “what ifs” that would shape Puck’s career. Read more about his journey—and ongoing evolution—at the link in our bio.
