"Tonight's celebration illustrates what can be accomplished with vision and passion at any age. Bryan and Chloe have followed their dreams through discipline and commitment – we congratulate them for their dedication and thank them for demonstrating how an entrepreneurial mindset can change the course of your life," stated Mary Leach, Movado Group's CMO.
Juilliard graduate Bryan Carter has achieved remarkable success in a relatively short period of time, having played and recorded with many notable artists and performed at recognized venues throughout the world. Bryan is a passionate educator who conducts master-classes and clinics to ensure the art of jazz music will endure throughout generations to come. Chloe Coscarelli, a life-long vegetarian and vegan for ten years, has turned her passion for healthy living into a successful business enterprise. An award-winning chef and best-selling cookbook author, Chloe earned national attention after winning the Food Network's reality-competition series "Cupcake Wars." In 2014, she partnered with Esquared Hospitality to launch by CHLOE., a fast-casual vegan restaurant located in New York City's West Village with plans to open a second location in NYC's Flatiron early 2016. Both Bryan and Chloe shared their inspiring stories and 'up close and personal' insight into their passionate, entrepreneurial journeys. Following the presentation, the students were treated to a tasting of vegan treats from by CHLOE. and a performance by Bryan Carter and his jazz quintet.
