Digital Media MBA Summit 2010

1 | DigitalMedia Summit 2010

The Digital Media MBA Summit is a collaborative annual summit organised by MBA students from Judge Business School (Cambridge), Manchester Business School and Said Business School (Oxford). This year the summit will be held on 7th of May in London.

The mainstream phenomenon of Social Media looks set to radically change the way businesses communicate. With corporations, global brands, governments, and newspapers embracing blogs and Twitter feeds as key elements in their communication strategies, Social Media is definitely no longer a fad.

The Digital Media MBA Summit 2010 will bring together industry experts from around the world to share their knowledge on this area and also explore interesting case studies. The conference aims to address core issues such as monetization, future technologies/services, engaging social groups with brands and how businesses can get the most out of social and business networks.

Henry JuszkiewiczChairman and CEO, Gibson Guitar Corp

Henry Juszkiewicz, Chairman and CEO of Gibson Guitar Corp., grew up in Rochester, NY. He enrolled at the General Motors Institute in Flint, MI, a five year co-op engineering college. He worked his way through school playing guitar - a Gibson, of course - in various rock bands playing for parties and weddings. After graduating with honors, he worked at Delco Products for two years as product manager while studying for an MBA in night school at the University of Rochester. He completed his MBA at Harvard University on a General Motors Fellowship.

Juszkiewicz then joined the New York firm of Neiderhoffer, Cross and Zeckhauser, Inc., where he rose to the position of executive vice president of mergers and acquisitions. He left the firm in 1981 and, with two former Harvard classmates (David Berryman and Gary Zebrowski), acquired Phi Technologies of Oklahoma City..

In 1986, Juszkiewicz and his partners acquired the faltering Gibson guitar operation from the Norlincorporation. Juszkiewicz's aggressive management style again effected an immediate turnaround, and Gibson became profitable within a month's time. Refocusing the company on achieving the highest possible standards of quality and customer service, he drove Gibson from the brink of closing to a company that has regained worldwide respect with annual average growth of 20 percent over the last decade.

Juszkiewicz is a committed supporter of conservation. A member of the Society of International Business Fellows and others, Juszkiewicz continues his commitment to a better world through his active participation in organizations such as Nordoff-Robbins, which provides music therapy for severely handicapped children, to the T.J. Martell Fund for Leukemia Research, The Environmental Defense Fund, Teenage Cancer Trust and leads numerous philanthropic endeavors under the Gibson Foundation banner. He is a board member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, a board member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, and a board member of the We Are Family Foundation. Henry Juszkiewicz resides with his wife and children in Nashville.

His first love - radio - led him to spend his first 8 years of his career working selling the original wireless at both Capital and EmapRadio. After radio his intention to transition to work on his next passion - sitcoms - was shot down in flames. Everything he wrote was 'criminally overlooked' (his view at the time) or 'criminally bad' (a more recent reflection).His subsequent media career involved a long spell running Emap's online business. He joined Google in 2008, moving to YouTube in October 2009 - another of his passions. Bruce describes YouTube as one of the 'seven wonders of the web'. He's not quite sure what the other 6 are.He is a Brummie, an unimpressive runner and never tans in the sun.
