CEO wish list ????多年前，托尼?貝茨曾列出有意接手的四家公司，其中一家就是Skype。2010年，貝茨如愿以償地被Skype聘為首席執行官。貝茨曾在思科系統公司（Cisco）任職。后來微軟（Microsoft）斥資85億美元收購Skype，而貝茨也將由此成為微軟高管隊伍中的一員。在本次峰會上，貝茨給與會嘉賓們留下了深刻的印象，許多人紛紛議論道，貝茨很有可能成為微軟現任總裁史蒂夫?鮑默的繼任者。可能有些人會好奇，在當年的“愿望清單”上不是還有三家公司嗎？里面有沒有微軟的名字？——貝茨沒說。 ????——斯特凡妮?梅赫塔 |
CEO wish list ????A few years ago Tony Bates wrote down the names of four companies he'd like to head; one of them was Skype, where he was hired as CEO in 2010. When Microsoft completes its $8.5 billion purchase of Skype, Bates, formerly of Cisco, will become part of the software giant's senior management team. Attendees were so impressed with Bates that some started talking about him as a possible successor to Steve Ballmer. No word on whether Microsoft was one of the other three names on Bates's wish list. ????--S.M. |
