CEO Resigns After His Daughter Wrote Him 22 Moments He Was Not There For Her by wisolf(m): 9:13am On Sep 29, 2014 |
A few months ago, the CEO of Pimco got a devastating letter that altered his career. It was from his 10-year-old daughter. As Mohamed El-Erian, the former chief executive of the investment firm, recounts in Worth, he was perplexed as to why she wasn't listening to him. The girl's reply was a doosey: She asked me to wait a minute, went to her room and came back with a piece of paper. It was a list that she had compiled of her important events that i had missed due to work commitments. Talk about a wake-up call. The list included 22 items, from her first day at school and first soccer match of the season to a parent-teacher meeting and a Halloween parade. And the school year wasn't over yet. After initially getting defensive, El-Erian acknowledged that his high-flying job had caused him to miss a lot of important moments. Within a short time, he stepped down as CEO and "opted for a portfolio of part-time jobs that requires a lot less travel and offers a ton more flexibility — enough I hope to allow me to experience with my daughter those big and little moments that make up each day." El-Erian writes that it has been the right decision. Now, he often wakes up his daughter, makes her breakfast and drives her to school. He and his daughter talk a lot more and are even planning a vacation together. Acknowledging that not everyone has the privilege of doing what he did, El-Erian, who made $100 million in 2011, writes that he's lucky because "this is providing me with greater opportunity to experience key moments in my daughter's life before they are too quickly gone." The essay surfaced on Friday after El-Erian's former co-CEO, Bill Gross, left his post as chief investment officer at Pimco. For Gross, 70, there appears to be a different motive; he's leaving the firm he created because he was about to be forced out. mashable.com/2014/09/26/daughters-list-of-22-big-moments-pimco-ceo/?utm_campaign 1 Like 1 Share |
