I like Michael McGrath: He's a Harvard MBA graduate, He used to be "M" in PRTM Consulting and at i2, he could clean the mess and bring company to profitability. He is going to give a presentation in Philadelphia in two weeks. I think that's a great opportunity to hear about his insights. Here is the original news release:
