NetLingo really is one of my favourite sites on the InterWeb, as I’ve said many times before – and here’s the latest term they’ve made me aware of:
e-commerce czar
A nickname for a senior-level exec charged with reforming an “old economy” company’s Internet and e-commerce strategies. The new program will have to cut the mustard in the new economy.
Comedy…. and how relevant at the moment, in the turbulent times we are going through. I guess there must be an accompanying “m-commerce czar” in some companies – although since Mobile is taking big hits in the world economy right now, perhaps not so many as last year…. 🙁
There’s probably a number of Mobile companies you could think of right now that have one of these people in place – thinking about people I know in those sorts of roles, then their backgrounds are amazingly diverse – in fact, that’s probably what makes them very suitable for that type of role – the future is an uncertain place, so the more you’ve done, the more places you’ve been, and the more experience you have, the better placed you should be… I say should be….
