Prior to joining the faculty at the TCU Neeley School of Business, Dr. Chicotsky was the youngest appointed full-time business faculty member at Johns Hopkins University. He subsequently served as a Clinical Assistant Professor of Integrated Marketing at New York University. 

 

Dr. Chicotsky’s career began in United States Congressional lobbying at a “top 3” firm for military aid appropriations to support American military positions and allies abroad, which provided professional inroads in the Middle East enabling his subsequent appointment in the private sector. Dr. Chicotsky’s entry into private equity was in Tel Aviv, Israel through an externship with New York University as a graduate student, which involved capital fundraising for a portfolio of technology startups from investor communities in Europe and Asia. 

 

This deal-flow led Dr. Chicotsky into Chief Marketing Officer roles in early-stage, and later, venture-backed endeavors, which began a decade of company building, capital fundraising, and more recently, angel investing and marketing advisorships. Portfolio work has extended to real estate development and business brokering. Dr. Chicotsky holds four advanced degrees:

 

• Ph.D. in Communication & Information Sciences from The University of Alabama.

• Master of Science in Management from New York University.

• Master of Legal Studies in Real Estate and Construction Law, Policy, and Management from the Texas A&M School of Law.

• Bachelor of Arts from The University of Texas at Austin.
