-ALISHA CAPOBIANCO, VP, CORPORATE ART GROUP
46
How has your company benefitted from teaching
your employees everything there is to know about
the production process, from consultation to
installation?
In our industry, it's important that employees are open to
wearing a lot of hats in the company. Cross-training is a must
and sometimes we even teach our employees backward to
fully immerse them in the field (beginning them at the
installation stage and working backward). A saying we go
by is "the devil is in the details" and it is true that every little
detail counts.
Corporate Art Group is a family business where
both your daughters have involvement. What are
their roles? What advice have you given to them as
young women in this industry? Have you discussed
a succession plan?
Both daughters, Nicole and Alisha Capobianco, were brought
up in the business. From a very young age I would take them
to work with me where they were surrounded by art and
design. They learned hands on about the many aspects of the
business, from print production to picture framing. They also
learned about the aspects of running a small business, building
relationships with both clients and vendors, working hard to
get results, and the freedom that comes along with it. This I
am sure was a big influence on them; today they are both
amazing entrepreneurs.
I always stressed the importance of education, not just
hands-on but in school; Both attended and graduated from art
schools - The Pratt Institute and Parsons School of Design at
The New School in New York City. Today, Nicole is a freelance photographer and designer living in Mexico, but working
remotely on independent projects including those for Corporate Art Group. Alisha is VP of Corporate Art Group, living in
NYC, and runs the day-to-day operations including print
production, marketing, and building business relationships.
We are currently laying the ground work for a succession
plan, which is at the beginning stages. In moving to our next
phase, Alisha clearly has the drive and skill set to continue the
business, but with a brand and vision she can call her own.
