托尼•贝茨

CEO wish list 多年前，托尼•贝茨曾列出有意接手的四家公司，其中一家就是Skype。2010年，贝茨如愿以偿地被Skype聘为首席执行官。贝茨曾在思科系统公司（Cisco）任职。后来微软（Microsoft）斥资85亿美元收购Skype，而贝茨也将由此成为微软高管队伍中的一员。在本次峰会上，贝茨给与会嘉宾们留下了深刻的印象，许多人纷纷议论道，贝茨很有可能成为微软现任总裁史蒂夫•鲍默的继任者。可能有些人会好奇，在当年的“愿望清单”上不是还有三家公司吗？里面有没有微软的名字？——贝茨没说。 ——斯特凡妮•梅赫塔 |
CEO wish list A few years ago Tony Bates wrote down the names of four companies he'd like to head; one of them was Skype, where he was hired as CEO in 2010. When Microsoft completes its $8.5 billion purchase of Skype, Bates, formerly of Cisco, will become part of the software giant's senior management team. Attendees were so impressed with Bates that some started talking about him as a possible successor to Steve Ballmer. No word on whether Microsoft was one of the other three names on Bates's wish list. --S.M. |
