Episode 10 - Interview with Brian Barefoot; Business Exec, Educator, candidate for School Committe

Locally Grown with Jim Fini

We are so pleased to have our guest Brian Barefoot with us today. Brian has one of the most distinguished careers I've seen in a long time. Not too many folks graduate from college, have an incredibly successful business career, then return to their alma mater as President. Brian did exactly this with Babson College outside of Boston, MA. In between, he had a long career in as an C-level executive in financial services at Merrill Lynch and Paine Webber. He was also CEO at NeoVision Hypersystems, a technology firm that invented “heatmaps” until its sale in 2001. Brian currently serves as a board member of a blockchain start-up, a banks and two investment funds. As if that's not enough he has served on the board of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts and our own Cleveland Clinic Indian River Medical Center Foundation in Vero Beach, FL. He served as mayor of Indian River Shore, FL from 2013-2018 and, finally, he is running for school committee here in Indian River County. You can't get more Local than that.

United We Stand. Divided We Fall. Each One for the Other, and All for All.
