Mentors guide, share advice to advance small business growth and prosperity
SCORE Southeast Wisconsin welcomes five business professionals
Julie Savitt.
MILWAUKEE – Julie Savitt of Lake Geneva grew up in a family of entrepreneurs, and was heavily influenced by her grandfather, Maury Young, who launched his career as a developer when he was 40 years old, and worked with the City of Chicago. She, too, became owner and president of a business at age 40, AMS Elite Solutions, Inc., a transportation company and material supplier in northern Illinois.
“I believe my grandfather instilled in me a “can do” work ethic,” says Savitt. “I’ve been informally mentoring business owners since 2010, helping them improve their organization, operations, procedures, and employee accountability. It is, therefore, important for me to nurture an environment that will empower people to learn, grow and give back.”
Larry Baab.
Savitt is among five new certified mentors with SCORE Southeast Wisconsin, a non-profit organization that provides free mentors like her to coach startups and existing small businesses to better run, transform and grow their companies, especially critical in these economic times.
Mentor Larry Baab is a leadership expert for consumer durable-goods companies in manufacturing and industrial, retail and wholesale trade. He’s currently group vice-president and global GM for the sporting goods company, Johnson Outdoors, in Racine.
Sam Bravo.
“My track record includes improving values of companies by transforming cultures into customer and growth-driven teams providing greater strategic value, with significant operating and financial improvements,” says Baab.
Sam Bravo is a SCORE mentor, accountant, advisor and entrepreneur who is a tax advisor for Compass Tax Advisors in Milwaukee.
“I help small businesses implement their start-up plans, daily accounting operations, and targeted growth in retail, transportation, healthcare, banking and financial services, and more.”
