:17:02
Garvin said it was her idea.
:17:11
It's always such a pleasure to come here...
:17:13
...and be with the
Advanced Products Group.
:17:16
I feel such a warmth for the people here.
:17:19
I feel a kinship.
And I've always wanted to give you...
:17:23
Is this seat taken?
:17:25
...the most advanced original
leadership that I could.
:17:28
How are you?
:17:30
-Sorry you didn't get the promotion.
-I'm sorry you didn't get it either.
:17:35
How long have you known?
:17:38
Really? That long?
:17:40
Every time I've wanted to promote
a woman...
:17:43
...to break the glass ceiling...
:17:45
...it's always the same story:
:17:47
"But, Bob.... But, Bob...."
:17:50
I've thought about it often since
my daughter's death, that had she lived...
:17:55
...it would be extremely rare...
:17:57
...that she ever got to run a company.
:18:01
So it has a special meaning
for me when I tell you...
:18:03
...that when we announce the merger...
:18:06
...we will also announce the new VP
for Advanced Operations and Planning...
:18:11
...in Seattle...
:18:13
...will be Meredith Johnson.
:18:23
Unbelievable.
:18:27
Thanks, Bob. Can I have the lights?
:18:36
The Advanced Products Group has been
the heart of DigiCom for the last 10 years.
:18:41
Advanced Products has historically
consisted of four divisions....
:18:45
You seem to be spending
more time up here.
:18:48
My son's a freshman at the university.
This way I get to see more of him.
:18:52
I thought it had to do with the merger.
:18:55
This merger means everything to Garvin.
:18:57
Give a man a $100 million
and you create a frustrated billionaire.
