Publisher and Unisys Vice President, Corporate Public Affairs: "Our goal with Exec! is to become the destination website for senior managers. We know that executives at the "CxO" level — - CEOs, COOs, and CFOs - are venturing out onto the Web. We know that they are expecting to find a wealth of information, but instead encounter chaos. What they don't find is an intelligent or efficient way to get at what might be useful or interesting.
