Finally another Seattle thing going away…

… Speechless Sunday afternoon started with strange e-mail from corporate communication starting with “Important Message…”

Β 

Every company I have worked has engaged in any kind of transaction or key changes in shareholder structure…
Accenture: went IPO in 2001
PwC: Sold consulting business in 2002 to IBM
Atrica: The company I did my MBA internship, and acquired by Nokia-Siemens Networks after I finished working at there..
and finally T-Mobile…
Who wants their company either IPOed or sold? Hire me…. πŸ™‚
Expecting fun summer times at Seattle here…(Hope this is not the last summer in Seattle!)

Another change from Starbucks..

Another interesting move by Starbucks… in terms of cup design…anyhow…
When I first arrived at Seattle, the news on Starbucks were all bad.. struggling, closing the stores, etc… and exCEO, Howard Schultz, was brought back into the Green kingdom as a savior to its business by stressing the core of their business…
and there was an interesting article from businessweek…Howard Schultz vs. Howard Schultz
His leadership style is pretty interesting…Β
