一位資深科技獵頭眼里的高管夢之隊
????杰娜?里奇是高管聘任咨詢服務機構Russell Reynolds Associates在消費電子、媒體和數字化轉型領域的國際業務聯合負責人。身為一名招聘人員,她曾幫助一些最知名的硅谷企業聘請過高級管理者。這是她連續第二年同意加入專業人士團隊,參與評選新一屆《財富》(Fortune)高管夢之隊。讀者團隊將于8月9入組建完畢,該團隊成員的得分情況在一定程度上將取決于他們所挑選的高管夢之隊和里奇等專家的選擇有多么的接近。 ????里奇向本刊編輯斯蒂芬妮?梅塔介紹了一些她所心儀的對象;她同時談到,如果從零開始組建一支管理團隊,她會在候選名單之外選擇哪些人。 ????杰娜?里奇: ????首席運營官我選【沃爾瑪(Wal-Mart Stores)】的羅沙琳德?布魯爾。她面對的是一項無比艱巨的任務【經營山姆會員商店(Sam's Club)】,但基本上已經完成了任務。不過,如果我能隨意選擇的話,我會挑Twitter首席運營官阿里?羅哈尼。此前他是Twitter的首席財務官,后來得到了提拔,他還擔任過動畫公司皮克斯(Pixar)的首席財務官。記住我的話,有一天他會成為你們高管夢之隊的首席執行官候選人。他是一名令人嘆服的團隊組建者,知道怎樣進行全球化運營,而且能把愿景付諸于實際行動。 ????說到支持性職務,我想選蘇珊?萊恩。一開始我可能想不到她,但她總是能控制住自我情緒,為公司的發展和規模化采取任何必要的措施,無論是在之前的電子商務網站Gilt,還是現在的美國在線(AOL)。她這種做法就好像是在說,無論擔任什么樣的職務,我想成為這個團隊的一員。歸根到底,支持性高管就是這樣。 ????常駐企業家方面我的選擇是杰克?多爾西和維多利亞?蘭塞姆。按照你們對常駐企業家的暫行定義,也就是能給大型企業帶來改變的創新者,我們也許能很快決定維多利亞是否合適。我確實認為她在谷歌(Google)的工作取得了巨大成效。杰克?多爾西并不完全符合你們的定義,但還能把他放在哪里呢?我真的覺得他非常出色。所以最終我選了杰克。 ????我覺得你們的首席營銷官候選人是最沒有吸引力的一組,但如果非得從中挑出一個來,那就是通用電氣(GE)的貝思?康斯托克。我個人則傾向于比較特別的人選,比如高端健身俱樂部Equinox的總裁莎拉?羅布?奧哈根。 ????設計方面的負責人?托尼?菲德爾。沒錯,就是!我認為他在恒溫器公司Nest的工作不光是制造一種設備,也是搭建一個框架,而且他會在消費產品和家居設計等領域進行大量創新。我覺得(Nest恒溫器)只是冰山一角。(財富中文網)

????In her role as co-lead of Russell Reynolds Associates' global practices in the areas of consumer digital, media, and digital transformation, recruiter Jana Rich has helped place executives at some of Silicon Valley's most high-profile companies. For the second year in a row she has agreed to field an expert team for the inaugural Fortune Fantasy Sports Executive League. Reader team creation closes Aug. 9; scoring depends, in part, on how closely the player's picks match those of experts like Rich. ????She spoke with Fortune's Stephanie N. Mehta about some of her choices -- and the off-the-roster names she would have selected if she could build a management team from scratch. ????Jana Rich: ????For chief operating officer I picked Rosalind Brewer [of Wal-Mart Stores] (WMT). She's got a job [running Sam's Club] that's tough as heck, and she's nailing it. But if I could pick anyone as my COO it would Ali Rowghani, who is the COO at Twitter. He was promoted from CFO, he had been the CFO at Pixar, and mark my words one day he'll be on your CEO list. He's an amazing developer of teams, he knows how to operationalize on a global scale, he can execute a vision. ????For utility player, I love the idea of Susan Lyne. I wouldn't have thought of her initially but she's been able to consistently put her ego in check and do whatever is necessary to help grow a company and scale, whether it was at Gilt or now at AOL (AOL). It's like she's saying, This is a team I want to be on, and it doesn't matter what the title is next to my name. Talk about the ultimate utility player. ????In the entrepreneur in residence category I love Jack Dorsey and Victoria Ransom. Under your working definition of an entrepreneur in residence -- someone who is an innovator but also can bring change to a large organization -- for Victoria it may be soon to tell. I do think she's making great inroads at Google (GOOG). Jack Dorsey, doesn't exactly fit your definition either, but where else would you put him? I just think he's so phenomenal. So ultimately I did pick Jack. ????I thought your CMO list was the least compelling, but if I had to pick one on your list it is Beth Comstock of GE. (GE) I was looking for some more out-of-the box names like Sarah Robb O'Hagan, president of Equinox. ????For designer? Tony Fadell. Yes! Yes! Yes! I think what he's doing with Nest isn't just about a device, but this is about a framework, and he'll be able to do a lot of innovation around consumer, home design, and more. I think [the thermostat] is just scratching the surface. |
