21st Challenge No. 26 results
The ultimate high-tech résumé

- - - - - - - - - - - -
By Charlie Varon and Jim Rosenau

Sept. 25, 1999 | The CEO talent pool gets thinner and thinner with every passing launch of a new Internet start-up company.

Contributions were sparse.

T H E__W I N N E R

You want creativity? You got it! My last global launch was completed in seven days (excluding Sunday) and I knew it was good, even if I said so Myself. I also implemented Project Ark, a major drought relief scheme, and masterminded several profitable plagues for a Middle Eastern pharmaceutical conglomerate.

--Robin O'Connor
