一位资深科技猎头眼里的高管梦之队
杰娜•里奇是高管聘任咨询服务机构Russell Reynolds Associates在消费电子、媒体和数字化转型领域的国际业务联合负责人。身为一名招聘人员,她曾帮助一些最知名的硅谷企业聘请过高级管理者。这是她连续第二年同意加入专业人士团队,参与评选新一届《财富》(Fortune)高管梦之队。读者团队将于8月9入组建完毕,该团队成员的得分情况在一定程度上将取决于他们所挑选的高管梦之队和里奇等专家的选择有多么的接近。 里奇向本刊编辑斯蒂芬妮•梅塔介绍了一些她所心仪的对象;她同时谈到,如果从零开始组建一支管理团队,她会在候选名单之外选择哪些人。 杰娜•里奇: 首席运营官我选【沃尔玛(Wal-Mart Stores)】的罗沙琳德•布鲁尔。她面对的是一项无比艰巨的任务【经营山姆会员商店(Sam's Club)】,但基本上已经完成了任务。不过,如果我能随意选择的话,我会挑Twitter首席运营官阿里•罗哈尼。此前他是Twitter的首席财务官,后来得到了提拔,他还担任过动画公司皮克斯(Pixar)的首席财务官。记住我的话,有一天他会成为你们高管梦之队的首席执行官候选人。他是一名令人叹服的团队组建者,知道怎样进行全球化运营,而且能把愿景付诸于实际行动。 说到支持性职务,我想选苏珊•莱恩。一开始我可能想不到她,但她总是能控制住自我情绪,为公司的发展和规模化采取任何必要的措施,无论是在之前的电子商务网站Gilt,还是现在的美国在线(AOL)。她这种做法就好像是在说,无论担任什么样的职务,我想成为这个团队的一员。归根到底,支持性高管就是这样。 常驻企业家方面我的选择是杰克•多尔西和维多利亚•兰塞姆。按照你们对常驻企业家的暂行定义,也就是能给大型企业带来改变的创新者,我们也许能很快决定维多利亚是否合适。我确实认为她在谷歌(Google)的工作取得了巨大成效。杰克•多尔西并不完全符合你们的定义,但还能把他放在哪里呢?我真的觉得他非常出色。所以最终我选了杰克。 我觉得你们的首席营销官候选人是最没有吸引力的一组,但如果非得从中挑出一个来,那就是通用电气(GE)的贝思•康斯托克。我个人则倾向于比较特别的人选,比如高端健身俱乐部Equinox的总裁莎拉•罗布•奥哈根。 设计方面的负责人?托尼•菲德尔。没错,就是!我认为他在恒温器公司Nest的工作不光是制造一种设备,也是搭建一个框架,而且他会在消费产品和家居设计等领域进行大量创新。我觉得(Nest恒温器)只是冰山一角。(财富中文网)

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. |
