I asked her to write up a position description (attached). Last week, Meredith and I attended a media conference in San Francisco with all the top new media and traditional business/financial publications, and the big story trend is corporate culture and what's new and different at companies. A CMO would give Enron a unique angle to participate in (and pitch) culture stories and increase our exposure (and help with recruiting). It would also serve an incredible need internally to have an executive who was responsive, accessible to employees and had the ability to resolve problems. In looking at the organization, I thought someone like Cindy Olson would be perfect for a CMO. Just wanted to pass along this suggestion to see what you thought. Thanks. kd
