Leaving CBS

After 3,057 days (8 years, 4 months and 12 days to be exact, but who's counting...) today is my last day at CBS.

It's been an intersting run. Though my title remained largely the same, I've had about as many jobs here as I've had years of service. Recalling back to the summer of 2000 with the first Survivor series I would never have guessed I would still be here in 2008, but you just go with the flow.

Leaving CBS in a completely different place than when I started, it's a real business now and with the CNET merger promises to be a much larger one. Certainly, I can not take credit for where we are, though I'd like to think I played at least a small role.

For all CTOs there comes a time where you've done all you can do and it's time for new challenges. It is good to leave at the right time both personally and professionally.

I'd like to thank everyone I've worked for and with over the years as I've learned a lot.

For those of you that worked in my varous areas: I'd especially like to thank you as you made me look good. I just played the role of the train conductor on the "small screen".

Congrats Mark...

Better adventures await. Can't wait to hear more about what you'll be doing in London. I really liked working with you during my time at CBS. You simply made things happen and I cannot think of higher praise when you consider the CBS landscape.
