How to Keep Rising Stars from Straying
Joe Galli, Jr. was hard to keep at Black & Decker? Well, here’s a busy guy indeed:
since 01/08/2001: CEO, Newell Rubbermaid
07/25/2000 – 01/08/2001: CEO, Verticalnet (a CEO in motion taking a vertical leap stayed only 5 months at the best job in the country.)
06/25/1999 – 07/25/2000: President and COO, Amazon.com (stay 13 months, get a $2.75MM cash signing bonus)
06/24/1999 – 06/25/1999: President and Chief Executive, PepsiCo Frito-Lay North America
1980 – 04/1999 : climbed up to President, Black & Decker’s Worldwide Power Tools and Accessories
01/17/01 update: Joseph Galli explains himself, but you’re warned not to do it at home.
03/07/01 update: according to VerticalNet cofounder and now CEO, Galli just came and went.
