New Business Sings for Success

Zenabi, a new tech company in Westport, tonight debuted its new series called “Brains and Bands.” Eddie Ibanez, founder, told an audience of about 100 at the Westport Inn — an alternate location moved hastily from Branson Hall at Christ & Holy Trinity Church due to the power outage — that “information and action” are the keys to success. That “music is an equalizer, whether you are a billionaire, or a guy on the street, you might like the same music,” he said. The two parts of the evening involved first a panel discussion, moderated by Ibanez with J Todd Morley, chairman of G3 Investment Group and co founder with Ibanez of Y2X, Chris Fischer, founder of Ocearch, and Vin Dombrowski, founder and lead singer of the band Sponge. The second part of the evening was a concert by the 1990s alternative rock band, Sponge, brought in from Detroit. As part of the series a different nonprofit will be promoted. Tonight’s organization was Westport’s Phoebe’s Phriends to aid pediatric cancer research. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Contributed photo
