Michael Harvey Appointed CEO At CareerOne
April 28, 2009 by Geoff Jennings
In truth, the whole war analogy was kinda getting boring. I had thoughts about leaving it alone for a while and perhaps reverting back to my former behaviour of relating everything to sex. But then this happened. (see press release)
I swear. It wasn’t my fault. (I named myself as the new CEO at News Careers on April Fool’s day).
Michael Harvey has been appointed new CEO of CareerOne. He succeeds Dr Stephen Hollings, who has been appointed director of sales strategy at News Ltd. Both appointments are effective as of May 1.
I had hoped there’d be no casualties. But I guess if you’re gonna fight a war, you want your best people up front, you know, leading the troups and all that. I’m, not certain Harvey is C1′s MacArthur. His background is in finance and he spent 11 years at Foxstudios. A strategy man – no doubt. But C1 needs more than strategy, it needs leaders who’ll fight on the frontlines. Will Harvey be a leader with a viable weapon, or a spreadsheet?
Very nice.
This is great news, good luck with the new position.
