Hi -Tech Walesa

[Gość: jasiu]

Lech Walesa is a self-described "man of passions." That's why the statesman and
Nobel Prize winner says he's accepted a position as director at NuTech, a
Charlotte, N.C. firm providing advanced predictive analytics and profit
optimization software to companies and governments. Former Bank of America
Chairman and CEO Hugh McColl Jr. also sits on the company's board. In a phone
interview with Faces In The News, the good-humored Walesa noted he'd been
offered "many, many" positions at companies over the years, but he turned them
all down. Why? Walesa said his ambitions are reserved for "truly meaningful
opportunities. NuTech is doing important things." He said working for the firm
will help strengthen bonds between the U.S. and his nation, and Eastern Europe
en toto, via the nurturing of technology and economic reform. After leading his
10 million-strong Solidarity movement against the Soviet empire's tanks and
secret police, and serving as Poland's first democratically-elected leader in
the post-Cold War turmoil, the directorship should be easy...even in the
current tech market.
