Good man gone.

Chuck Corcoran is no longer with the firm.  Having worked in THN, I always liked Chuck and he made working there a better place.  I wish him well in his future endeavors, whatever they are.  This pic was taken when I ran into Chuck at the United Red Carpet Club in DIA.  And Chuck, from NY like me, had one bad ass collection of golf shirts.

Hanging with Chuck

Sad News from EMEA

Ari, we’re thinking of you..

Poor Ari got caught in the crossfile of a data loss over at Nielsen.. He should have hired Mehdi, then this would have never happened.

This is not the press he wanted to get:

“We don’t yet know if some properties were more affected than others,” said Ari Paparo, exec VP-online products at Nielsen. “That’s one of the questions that needs to be resolved.”

Real interesting job..

An old  boss of mine, now a headhunter, passed this along – is it a job working for Ari ?!?

Departures…

Sometimes I just need to catch up with people who have left and share the bittersweet news..

1. Marc Schraer – He headed to Visible Measures a few months back, did I report that?  Not sure.  Well, here’s a press release.

2. Pam Russo is BACK!  She got hired back to Google as a tech recruiting lead, in NY.  Welcome back Pam

3. Matt Haies has left the building.  He has some exciting plans, more to come, but it’s a start-up of his own, so he’s not landing at some other shop.

Paul Loughran Education Fund info

I’ve had a number of requests for this.  With the sad passing of former DoubleClick Dublin Support Manager, Paul Loughran, we’ve put together some ways to help make donations for his 3 childrens education fund.

We are often reminded of the importance of giving back, helping those less fortunate, and going above and beyond at every possible opportunity. Here we have an opportunity to do something meaningful for Paul’s children; Connor 9, Ryan 7, and Michael 1.
