Good thing Bell knows that drastic times call for drastic actions. ... In 2000, George Bell was the CEO of Excite@Home. His team had plunged the stock price after a few months in control. Before his group became hopelessly mired in worthless options, he came up with a plan. He decided to take the international assets and cash of ATHM, merge with another international company, and take the new entity through IPO. He became the Co-CEO of the new entity and received millions of shares in the new company. “What’s the worst that could happen? We’d have to pay off a few MSOs? At least we got something for ourselves out of that crummy ATHM.”
