New Trade Routes

Drawing digital pathways on the new trade maps.

Trade drives the way people interact.  People, products, money, and ideas follow the trade routes and impact everything in their path.  Keeping pace with the way trade routes are changing is essential to success or even survival.  New Trade Routes is working to better understand the changes so we can help our clients, investees, and grantees improve their chances of success.

 

HP Hires - and hires

Mark Hurd has been very busy remaking HP.  Just put "HP Hires" into a search engine and you will get the picture.  Here are a few that I think are the most interesting:

Bill Veghte:  Long time Microsoft veteran and the guy that got Windows 7 back on track after Vista.  He left in January.

Richard Gerstein:  From Sears -- where he was the top marketing guy in charge of the brand.  at HP he will be the top guy in charge of marketing at the Personal Systems Group.

Mark Stephenson:  From Cisco.  Let's watch for the lawsuits on this one.

Add to this all of the talent from the Palm deal and you have a serious make over underway.
