RICHARD PARSONS TO THE RESCUE: BECOMES THE CHAIRMAN OF CITIGROUP


Many people first became aware of successful business executive Richard Parsons through his participation in the excellent HBO documentary "The Black List", which showcased notable African Americans in various careers discussing themselves and the state of Blacks in this country.
Parsons was formerly the chairman of AOL Time Warner and navigated the company through several crises until retiring last year. He was and I presume still is an economic advisor to President Barack Obama. Now he takes on the challenge of saving Citigroup with his selection as chairman to one of the giant companies that had to be bailed out by Congress.
I think that Richard Parsons will succeed in his new post. This is a guy who likes a challenge and will do what it takes to overcome it. Good fortune to you Mr. Parsons.
