40位40岁以下商界精英:往届人物今何在
史蒂芬•吉列 • 目前头衔:COO,赛门铁克 • 上榜时间(排名):2010年(第22位) 吉列成为星巴克(Starbucks)CIO的时候只有31岁。当时,霍华德•舒尔茨刚刚回到这家咖啡业巨头。作为公司最年轻的高管,吉列在提高星巴克的科技水平方面要发挥了重要作用。如今,星巴克连锁店支持手机支付就有他的功劳。此外,吉列是魔兽世界(World of Warcraft)里的高手,曾在大学橄榄球队打球。2012年,吉列离开星巴克,前往百思买(Best Buy)。而在这家面临困境的科技巨头只待了九个月时间,吉列便跳槽到赛门铁克(Symantec)——在这里他将承担更多的责任。 |
Stephen Gillett • Current title: COO, Symantec • Year on list (rank): 2010 (No. 22) Gillett was just 31 years old when he landed the CIO role at Starbucks. Howard Schultz had recently made his soon-to-be-triumphant return to the coffee giant, and as the company's youngest C-level executive, Gillett would play a big role in making it more tech-savvy. You can thank him for phone-enabled payment at the chain. Gillett, who is also a World of Warcraft ace as well as a former college football player, left Starbucks in 2012 for Best Buy. He stayed at the struggling tech giant for only nine months before decamping for Symantec -- and significantly broader responsibilities. |
