Wow! I get to ask the CEO of J2 Global 4 questions next Wednesday!

[luvya]

I wonder what I should ask him about. I am trying to think up 2 managerial and 2 career-related questions for him. What are the questions you think will most challenge him? I have some ideas but more input is always welcome. 🙂

J2 Global For those people who have no clue who they are.

What do they do?

-edit-

How will J2 communications address the fact that there are hundreds of other companies doing what you do?
How will you combat already established messaging solutions from giants like Yahoo and Microsoft who offer what you do for free?

 

[KLin]

Mr. CEO, did you ever feel up your cousin?


😛

j2 global? WhoTF is that?

 

[Yzzim]

Do you feel CEOs are overpaid when people under them are the ones who do the real work.

ask them why the hell do they have their stock price on their frontpage? what's more important to them, the customer or their stock price?

ummm, dude.....its ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS about the stock price.

Seriously, that's how business operates - they're not their to do favors or make customers happy.

I thought that too.

Just stand up, tell him that the companies website sucks, then sit down.

Or make a political statement.

Whatever you choose, I'm sure he's heard it 100 times and will give you textbook answer if it's good for his company or completely dodge the question if it's bad.

 

[luvya]

Well...challenging doesn't have to be personal. Frankly, I think their website is decent.

Here's your first 3 questions...can't help you with the fourth 🙁

(1) Are you really the CEO of J2 global?

(2) Really?

(3) You?

[Edit] Oh...maybe include this one:

(0) How are you doing?

If you just jump straight into questions, you might come off as rude

 

[Rogue]

In today's increasingly hostile computing culture, what steps are J2 taking to to secure their customer's systems and provide a secure service?
Similarly, how are they protecting their internal assets?

 

[sygyzy]

Mr. CEO, why do your employees spend so much time at the ping pong table, preventing anyone else from playing?
