John McHugh must have a healthy appetite for risk and/or he’s a glass-half full kind of person.
How else to explain why he recently joined Nortel as vice-president and general manager of enterprise solutions where he’ll play a key role in driving the company’s enterprise business.
McHugh comes with solid credentials, including a successful stint with Hewlett-Packard where he oversaw the growth of its ProCurve networking business from a start-up to $1-billion in sales. During his time with HP, McHugh was called the “Godfather of Procurve”
they got rid of the prev guy and probably hired someone really cheap. but hiring a CEO for Mexico does not make any sense. how much biz comes out from latin america. one would have thought they would shut down all this including the bloated florida office to support the region.

I can already hear the discussion at the BOD conference room.
MikeZ: Mister Manley, one of our key goals for this restructuring process is to open more Nortel shops, bring in more CM and import more Nortel people into Mexico. Specifically we are looking at Juarez where all the current drug cartel executions are happening. Real estate is dirt cheap there for obvious reason. And when I say dirt I mean dirt, as in “six feet under”.
John Manley: Great Job. I see we've appointed another exec in Mexico. I know we are turning the corner. We must not have jobs in Canada. As a member of the liberal party I am a firm believer in helping out people from other countries before we look at our own. My disciple Dalton McGuinty as the leader of Ontario oversaw a job loss of 70k in Ontario alone in january. More than half of what the entire country lost. Canada on the whole lost far more jobs than the united states when you factor population comparisons into the ratio. I am recommending to the Board tonight that we hire Dalton immediately.
Mike Z: Yes the operation should be up and running soon. We have dedicated scrap depots since we know alot of that will be made. But when you are paying in pesos and burrittos it doesn't really matter. Quality is not Job 1.
John Manley: Thanks Mike. Would you care to join me at Taco Bell?
And yet another exec hired….the hiring freeze is working out real well so far.
