AOLer says Calacanis is no future CEO
"Calacanis the next AOL CEO? No way." says the source.
In one meeting, for example, Calacanis admitted that he didn't know how to turn the air conditioning on over weekend. More importantly, he said couldn't get his staff's expenses paid. "Everybody in the room was laughing at him while he thought he was Joe Cool or P Diddy,"
Calacanis Response:
You're getting some good information.
Frankly, I'm not looking to be CEO--we've got a great CEO already. Right now I just want to turn the company around by a) correcting and avoiding the mistakes we've been making, and b) making great products.
Despite all the bad PR recently we are doing some great things and my hope is that over time the good will outweigh the bad. It's not going to be easy and it's not gonna happen overnight.
