  2. Zune HD manager, so not that succesful by bongey · · Score: 2

    Seems he is bit over-rated manager type. His entire career his list his roles as manager or director. Never was a 'engineer' in the trenches. Only 3 of the companies are still in business(most of the rest were bought out). Not the first time he has jump ship after a short time. https://www.linkedin.com/in/da...
