Siouxland Christian announces appointment of new superintendent
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — Siouxland Christian has announced that they are appointing a new superintendent.
The announcement came in just before 10 a.m. on Tuesday following the resignation announcement from Siouxland Christian's current superintendent, Dr. Lindsay Laurich.
Beginning July 1, Nic Scandrett will be taking on the role of superintendent at Siouxland Christian.
Siouxland Christian School Board President Chad Eisenga said Laurich's leadership was a blessing and the new leadership to come from Scandrett is something he is excited about.
'Dr. Laurich has been a visionary leader whose faith and dedication have elevated SCS to new heights. Her legacy of growth, community and unwavering commitment to Christian education will inspire us for years to come. We are blessed that she will remain part of the SCS family in her next chapter,' said Eisenga. 'Bringing Mr. Scandrett into the Superintendent role is an exciting moment for our school. His strategic vision, servant leadership and passion for Christian education make him the ideal leader to carry forward Dr. Laurich's legacy.'
South Sioux City school board expected to vote on $127M plan
Laurich said that even though she is stepping down as superintendent, she plans to continue to contribute to the school.
'My passion for the mission of Siouxland Christian School school's mission and desire to see the school continue to grow is as strong as ever,' said Laurich. 'However, over the past year, God has been leading me to reflect on my day-to-day role. My heart is with Siouxland Christian School, now and always. I will always be an Eagle!.'
Scandrett is the school's Director of Advancement, has served as Vice President for Operations & Athletics at Briar Cliff University, and will be receiving his doctorate in May.
'I am deeply humbled and honored to take on this role, especially following the exemplary service of Dr. Laurich,' said Scandrett. 'I look forward to drawing on her wisdom in her new role. I'm grateful to the school board for entrusting me with this opportunity, a privilege that inspires me to lead with excellence. Most importantly, I am honored to serve our talented staff in this capacity. They are the ones who truly shape our students' lives every day.'

Goldman Sachs banker Todd Eagle quits real estate team
Top Goldman Sachs real estate banker Todd Eagle has quit the David Solomon-led firm, The Post has learned. Insiders told The Post his name has been scrubbed from the bank's internal staff directory and that he is set to join smaller Wall Street rival Jefferies, where he is expected to become the US head of real estate banking. Eagle is no longer with Goldman Sachs and is set to join Jefferies. Todd Eagle / LinkedIn He will report to Michael Bluhm, who is the global head of real estate, gaming & lodging at the Rich Handler-run bank, sources said. However, Eagle's profile with US regulator FINRA is yet to be updated with his departure from Goldman's lower Manhattan headquarters at 200 West St. Spokespersons for Goldman Sachs and Jefferies declined to comment. Goldman's real estate team counselled Stephen A. Schwarzman's Blackstone, an asset management firm, when it snapped up GLP's logistics portfolio for $18.7 billion in 2019. Managing director Eagle, a 56-year-old Harvard MBA graduate, first joined the US investment bank as an analyst in 1990. 'What makes a great investment banker is being able to think in the shoes of your clients,' Eagle was quoted as saying in an August 2020 profile for the Business Insider website. Bloomberg via Getty Images Eagle has twice briefly left Goldman Sachs: once in 1999 to pursue his business school education and again in 2005 to focus on real estate investment opportunities, only to rejoin as a managing director a year later. Upon graduation from Harvard, he came back to the bank and became a member of the real estate team as an associate, and after four years in New York, relocated to London. It was in the British capital that Eagle became a vice president and headed Goldman's European real estate investment banking unit for four years. He advised both public and private real estate and hotel companies on mergers, acquisitions, and financing opportunities.

Presidio Medical™ Receives IDE Approval for Ultra Low Frequency (ULF™) Neuromodulation Clinical Study and Appoints Dimas Jiménez as Chief Financial Officer
FDA Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) Approval enables Presidio's ULF platform technology to be tested in a pivotal clinical trial in the United States, representing a significant step in bringing this transformational technology to patients who suffer from chronic nociceptive low back pain. SAN MATEO, Calif., June 12, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Presidio Medical, Inc., a global clinical-stage medical device company developing a transformational Ultra Low Frequency (ULF™) neuromodulation platform, received IDE approval from the FDA, enabling the company to commence a global, pivotal, randomized controlled trial, the FULFILL Study, in the United States and Australia. ULF Neuromodulation will be delivered via leads implanted in the epidural space, also known as Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS). Presidio is a patient-centric medical technology company developing a novel approach to treating chronic nociceptive low back pain with the goal of providing durable relief to an underserved patient population. The ULF neuromodulation platform is designed to target localized pain by reducing neuronal responses; suppression of these signals may reduce suffering for patients who have chronic nociceptive low back pain. There are currently no approved SCS treatment options for nociceptive back pain, which presents a $20B market opportunity. "IDE approval from the FDA represents a significant milestone for Presidio and enables the study of ultra low frequency modulation of the nervous system. The results from our first-in-human clinical trial in Australia, which were presented by Dr. Marc Russo at NANS earlier this year, were very encouraging. We are excited to now begin a more robust trial, which we believe will demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our ULF platform," said Michael Onuscheck, Presidio Medical's Chief Executive Officer. In addition, the company is pleased to announce Dimas Jiménez has joined as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Mr. Jiménez brings over four decades of finance experience, spanning roles from Wall Street to both large and start-up life science organizations. He will be responsible for continuing to build the financial infrastructure of Presidio, supporting the commercialization efforts of our ULF neuromodulation system and expanding relationships with current and future investors. "We are extremely pleased to welcome Dimas to the Presidio team. The breadth and depth of his experience within the life science industry and his expertise in working with pre-commercialization start-up organizations is invaluable as we continue to grow and evolve as a company," said Onuscheck. "Presidio's ULF platform has the potential to greatly improve the lives of patients who suffer from debilitating chronic back pain. I've spent a significant amount of my career working with companies whose goal is to disrupt the status quo. I couldn't be more excited to be a part of this mission-driven and patient-centric organization," said Jiménez. Mr. Jiménez most recently served as the CFO of Spire Health and has held prior positions as CFO at StemoniX and Orphagen Pharmaceuticals. He has managed four company exits and has helped raise $670 million in capital for life science organizations. Mr. Jiménez received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Dartmouth College, a Master of Business Administration from Stanford University and is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA). About Presidio Medical Presidio Medical was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in San Mateo, CA. This clinical stage privately held medical device company is developing a transformational neuromodulation platform to treat diseases of undesired neural activity, with a first indication in the treatment of chronic pain. Presidio's investors include Deerfield Management, Invus Opportunities, Action Potential Venture Capital, and ShangBay Capital.
