We all know Carol Bartz has taken on the challenge of leading Yahoo!, but does that mean she’s no longer with Autodesk? I would have thought she would have had her hands more than full with her new job, but I haven’t seen any mention of her giving up her Autodesk position as Executive Chairman of the Board. The Autodesk web site still has her listed in that position, so I guess she’s still there. She’s on various other boards and councils too, so maybe she’s sticking around at Autodesk long-term?
Just because they are board members doesn’t mean they actually have to show up for meetings. While they get docked pay for not showing up, directors still get to keep listing the position on their resumes.
But surely the Executive Chairman of the Board is expected to do something useful?
Ummm…
Two golden parachutes are better than one?
