Most obvious: San Francisco 49ers head coach. Mariucci got the boot but Holmgren cannot get out of his Seatlle deal. I’m a lifelong football fan, and have subjected the Niners’ efforts to rigorous analysis for the last six seasons.
William J. McDonough, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, today announced his retirement. I have an MBA in finance, real world experience in lending, insurance, investments, and technology plus I used to work across Maiden Lane from their office building so I know how to get there in the morning. Word to the hiring team: I believe that a little inflation is a good thing as is a lot of operational transparency.
A job that would have been suitable, but is apparently already filled, is Chairman of AOL Time Warner. Seriously, I have a great blend of experience in online technology and the written word. I’ve been a customer of HBO since they first began mass marketing it in the early ’70s and am a huge Sopranos fan. I’ve even worked closely with AOL previously, during the whole iPlanet not-quite-a-joint-venture Sun/Netscape Alliance thing. Hard to understand that the board could move so quickly to give Richard Parsons a second job when I have none.
Reality check: Uggh! I’ve been looking for work for too long if I’m starting to have these fantasies. I am pursuing some leads at Oracle, Google, Ariba, and Sun (as a contractor), to name a few, so perhaps something good will come along soon. Keep your fingers crossed and drop a line if you can help.
