Life after SC Johnson is turning out souper for William Perez, after all. He's just been elected to the board of directors of the Campbell Soup Co.
The former SCJ chief executive officer left here in 2004 to become CEO of Nike -- a job that lasted only 13 months but earned him an $11 million severance payment (and stock options). Then in 2006 he became CEO of gum maker Wrigley -- which soon was sold to candy maker Mars. That, too, produced a big payday: at least $28 million, according to Corporate Dealmaker.
Was Pledge ever this lucrative?
Here are my condensed and noodly thoughts: Bill Perez is right up there with mushroom Milt Morris with that kinda chunky change laying around! They should give up something for lentil.
ReplyDeleteSouper indeed!
Another ex- SCJ scammer. It never stops. Leave Racine, please???
ReplyDeletePete - Most of the professional community in Racine has a pretty good understanding of exactly how lucrative Pledge has been. And some in the blogosphere are thinking "if only they'd just spread that wealth around . . . returning it to its rightful owners".
ReplyDeleteBill has always been a great supporter of Racine. He is a gentleman and true he has been financially successful, but he has always been very generous. Bill is a recipient of old corporate America. He didn't set the rules, but was fortunate to benefit from them.
ReplyDeleteThe above post says it all. Mr. Perez is still committed to Racine even though he no longer works here. He is a class act and has given more money to charity than anyone that I know. He left SCJ as soon as Fisk took over, and that says a lot, too. Best wishes for continued success to him and his family.
ReplyDeleteWhy would they leave Racine? They would miss shopping at the Regency Mall and of course, who wouldn't miss the 5 Star Restaurants? I've seen the Chancery written up in gourmet magazines several times. Most importantly, they would miss the group of high class citizens that reside in that beautiful town on the lake. Yay Racine!
