You’ve Got Tim Armstrong!–His Entire First Email to AOL Staff
BoomTown has a feeling the very friendly new AOL CEO and Chairman Tim Armstrong is not going to waste his time chasing down and threatening to drop-kick leakers into outerspace.
At least I hope he has better things to do! Like, you know, turning around the troubled Time Warner (TWX) online unit.
So here is his first memo to AOL staffers, leaked to me. (Don't go all Bartz on me, Tim, because it won't work anyway!)
Last week, in a surprise move, the former Google (GOOG) advertising honcho was picked to replace ousted CEO Randy Falco, as well as President and COO Ron Grant, by Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes.
(Here's a link to an interview I did with Armstrong last Thursday about the new job.)
Armstrong did not waste his time taking over, although he does not start until April 7, penning a short-but-sweet email to AOL employees worldwide.
