Management
Michael H. Sedge Sedge has lived and worked from Europe for 30 years. During this time he has established and operated several businesses, including The Sedge Group, a global PR-marketing-editorial agency. He is author of 20 books, including, Commercialization of the Oceans, Marketing Strategies for Writers, and most recently, The Lost Ships of Pisa, which won the President of the Italian Republic's Book of the Year Award for a Foreign Author. Based on what Entrepreneur Magazine called "The magic of Sedge's marketing ability." The Sedge Group landed such clients as Arrowhead Global Solutions, Bank of America, Dial Thru International, Discovery Channel, Mobil Oil, and Price Systems (a division of Lockheed Martin). Sedge developed MCI's global military marketing activities from 1989-1995; establishing and managing a sales network of 47 people throughout the world. During the last four years of Mr. Sedge's work with MCI, he increased the company's military market revenues by $3 million annually. Arrowhead Global Solutions, soon after, tasked Sedge to manage the in-country logistical, operational, and financial activities of the Army, Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) contract for Telephone Operation during the war in Bosnia. In 2003, Sedge established Michael-Bruno, LLC, to work on U.S. government A&E and construction projects in Europe. The first year of operation ended in the black, with a turnover of more than $600,000. Based on current and potential contracts, the company's 2005 billing promises to exceed last year's by 100%. As a journalist, Sedge has worked for The Associated Press, Armed Forces Journal International, Discovery Channel, Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, Scientific American, Time-Life, and other major media. Sedge served as U.S. and NATO military correspondent, Mediterranean Region, for The Associated Press for four years, before becoming the Naples, Italy, Bureau Chief, International Daily News. Following these 1970-80 positions, he worked for hundreds of media outlets, publishing over 4,000 news features, articles, and works of fiction. His experience in journalism and marketing, as well as his business savvy and European "know how," makes Sedge unique.the kind of person that can drive business development and profits. It was this experience that convinced the U.S. Ambassador to Italy and other political and business figures to nominate Sedge Honorary President of the American Chamber of Commerce for Southern Italy. In this position, Sedge joins some of the most powerful, international business people in the Mediterranean Peninsula.
Giuseppe Bruno
After obtaining his degree in Engineering from the University of Naples, Bruno joined his father's construction company, working under contract with the U.S. Navy and NATO. For ten years he worked numerous military projects and, in 1993, expanded the company's business by winning a bid for the U.S. Navy's Family House Maintenance (600 units)-a contract he succeeded in keeping, despite tough bidding competition, for 11 years. Bruno eventually took over the family's firm. As large, billion-dollar-competition moved into the U.S. military construction arena in Italy, he down-sized the construction aspects of the business. He recognized, however, the opportunities in architectural design and engineering services and, as a result, opened Studio Tecnico di Giuseppe Bruno. The Studio's technical services covered all areas of design and construction: electrical, mechanical, architectural, environmental, energy conservation, and consulting. The company was unique in its ability to develop designs in accordance with U.S. and/or European architectural, mechanical and electrical practices, while adapting local construction codes, materials, and methods. National Electrical Code, for instance, is integrated with C.E.I. norms, IEC rules and ISO, UNI standards. The brevity and clarity of the plans permitted rapid comprehension by contractors, thereby enabling them to prepare bids with no time wasted for interpretation. The professionalism offered by Bruno allowed him to obtain more than 150 individual task orders from the U.S. Navy, while increasing his recognition for engineering excellence in the Italian sector. He authored the Manual for Safety in the Workplace, used in engineering classes throughout Italian universities. Bruno has also been involved in some of Italy's most prestigious government renovation projects, including: the Vittorio Emanuele Monument (Rome), Teatro Metastasio (Prato), and the Palazzo dei Priori (Peruga). He is noted as one of Italy's finest electrical engineers.
