Following his time at SPRI, Marc went back into working with medical devices start-up companies, serving in “C-suite” positions.
While Marc and Heidi never attended CU, through their friendship with Michael Leeds, they learned about the work being done at the Leeds School of Business and appreciated the focus and the direction that the business school and, in particular, the CESR program were taking. Marc and Heidi’s strong beliefs in social responsibility and ethics drew them to establishing this annual scholarship at Leeds, which they hope will attract future generations of students to the business school and CESR
It is their intention that this annual scholarship will grow over time and, subsequently, be a part of their legacy to the Leeds School of Business.
