Dynetech’s Larry Pino donates $100,000 to Crummer School

Dynetech Corporation founder Laurence J. “Larry” Pino has donated $100,000 to the Crummer School of Business at Rollins College in recognition of the entrepreneurial business contributions the Crummer School has made to the Central Florida community.

“It is my desire that with this gift we can raise the bar on thinking about entrepreneurism,” said Pino, who has started, operated, managed and, in some cases, spun off more than 45 successful businesses in his career.

“I hope that we can all learn how today’s most successful entrepreneurs transform their organizations from small, dream-driven companies into large, sustainable organizations,” said Pino “I believe this truly is one of the most important issues facing us in Central Florida and in communities throughout the country: How can we diversify our economies by ‘home-growing’ entrepreneurial enterprises?”

Dynetech is a Business Process Outsource (BPO) provider for sales and marketing endeavors. Dynetech currently supports the efforts of more than 15 “partner clients,” providing services that range from product development to sales and marketing and fulfillment events to customer relationship management services.

Dr. Craig McAllaster dean of the Rollins College Crummer School of Business, expressed gratitude for the donation, saying that it would be dedicated as seed funding for academic studies and programs related to transforming entrepreneurial organizations.

“Successful entrepreneurs are among the most admired people in the world, and
what we all want to know is: How did they do it? How did they take their dream and go beyond it, growing and creating large, successful, sustaining organizations?” McAllaster said. “ We want to produce graduates who can serve as organizational leaders that transform their companies from small to large enterprises.”

In announcing the gift, Pino and McAllaster also announced that Dynetech has agreed to underwrite and help stage an annual symposium that illuminates entrepreneurism issues and recognizes successful Central Florida entrepreneurs. An event for 2003 is being planned. Details will be announced at a later date.

The Crummer Graduate School of Business was founded in 1957 at Rollins College and is ranked by Forbes magazine as 12th best among regional business schools for return on investment. The School offers four, personalized MBA programs taught by distinguished faculty. U.S. News & World Report ranked Crummer among the top 25 part-time professional MBA programs nationwide.
