I had no idea he was that old.

Yep, he became CEO of a major corporation (and not one that he founded like so many technology firms) at the ripe young age of just 42.

Wow! I didn't realize he was that old either!

 

[gcurling]

Well, I had to check some profiles to get a perspective on who didn't realize how old Eisner was. Ok, so you guys are youngsters, I understand

But, in the process, I found something interesting. wdwprincess03, you were born the same week that Eisner became President of the Walt Disney Company!

do people who didn't know how old Mikey was know what he did before he took over Disney?

 

[dizpins14]

he was an ABC executive that's why he bought ABC with Disney money

 

[YoHo]

That's not all. He also worked as a Paige at NBC. He wanted a network, he wasn't married to ABC.

But he did have at least one other magor job in there.

But he started out by pushing a mail cart and making coffee for someone else.

I think that he also worked at Paramount for a while if I am not mistaken.

yep! I just did a report on him for school. I had NO idea that he had done so much for the company. Everybody blames him for all the things wrong at the parks and all, but in reality... they are just ignorant to the fact that he doesn't make those decisions. In fact, if it weren't for him, there might not be any Walt Disney Company around now, or at least not at all like it is today. Go Mike and have a VERY happy birthday!! :sohappy:
