One thing about Nortel CEO Mike Zafirovski, he knows how to talk the talk. In an interview with MarketWatch, Zafirovski proclaimed that Nortel is “finally back’ as it puts its financial books in order and works on putting an SEC investigation behind it. “We just want to be a normal company,” he said, which sounds like a wish as much as a statement.
Some other interesting quotes from the interview, include his belief that Nortel can only rebound if it’s got the right cost structure. “We have a very aggressive business transformation process. Unless you have the right cost structure, you can never control your destiny.”
and that Nortel can start to regain market share again with a new management team in place (not withstanding the fact the company needs a new CFO to replace Peter Currie)
“First who, then what,” he said. “We’re not winning yet, but we have people on board with a track record of winning”.
