Lu Cordova - Profile of an Industry
Leader 5/24/02:
Meet
Lu Cordova, and I'll warn you right off the bat, she's very disarming
...Lu is President of the internationally recognized, award winning CTEK
(formerly the Boulder Technology Incubator) and Chairman of the new association
of individual investors, CTEK Angels.
CTEK has the largest
community-based volunteer network of business mentors and advisors in
the world and is considered one of the most distinguished business catalysts
in the country. Sister organization CTEK Angels is now the largest organized
group of individual investors in the state of Colorado
As
a 4-time CEO/President, Lu has over 25 years experience in strategic planning
and operations management. Prior to CTEK, Cordova was Chief Executive
Officer of Corlund Industries, which specialized in operations management,
strategic planning, business development and marketing. Prior to Corlund
she was CEO and Chairman of Acteva, an ecommerce service for events and
activities. Prior to that she was part of the original team at @Home Network
which became Excite@Home. Since coming to Colorado last year, Lu has been
listed in Denver's Who's Who in Technology, appointed to the Federal Reserve
Board's 10th District Advisory Council, and just won an award for Leadership
& Mentoring from WITI (Women in Technology International).
Ms. Cordova has been
appointed by the U.S. Secretary of Labor to a third term on the Business
Research Advisory Council which consults with the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics on BLS data. In addition, she served on the Board of Directors
for the National Association of Business Economists (NABE). She chaired
their Roundtable Committee and was a member of their Economics Education
Committee. She CO-founded and then chaired the NABE Corporate Planning
Roundtable and helped to form the Technology Roundtable in which she still
participates. Cordova served on the Board of the Silicon Valley Roundtable
where she was awarded "Silicon Valley Guru" status. She also
founded GenXangels in California and CTEK Angels in Colorado.
Visiting
the CTEK offices, we found Lu and her team working with clients over lunch
and we all seemed to catch the bug, advising, sharing information and
contacts - it was quite contagious and fun actually.
