Michael H. Jordan, a turnaround specialist who recast Westinghouse as a media company and revived both CBS and Electronic Data Systems, died Tuesday night in Manhattan. He was 73.

[image loading]

The cause was neuroendocrine cancer, said his wife, Hilary Cecil-Jordan.

In 1993, Mr. Jordan became chief executive of the Westinghouse Electric Company, which was a struggling conglomerate at the time. A year later, Mr. Jordan made a bet on media, buying CBS and adopting the acquired company’s name.

Mr. Jordan, in an interview in 2004, conceded that the CBS move had been risky. At the time, he recalled, CBS was “really a badly performing asset.”

“But it was clear that Westinghouse couldn’t be both industrial and broadcasting,” he added.

NY Times article


--------

I was pretty surprised when I got this email -_____- until I googled it.

but it's very interesting that there is some other very-big-shot by the name of Michael Jordan that most people have never heard about... it sucks to be overshadowed like that.

plus apparently he was a huge supporter of science education so

Don't know the other two but I read about Hopper here first. Hm. Always strange when celebrities die. It kinda feels like it's somebody we knew in person.

When I read the title, I thought this other Michael Jordan died (professor from UC Berkeley):

http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Faculty/Homepages/jordan.html

I was under the impression that this guy was the second most famous Michael Jordan, but it seems like there's competition even for that...

It looks like he did a lot of cool stuff in his life, however the main reason this thread exists is because he has the same name as a retired basketball player. I find that somewhat unfortunate.

We're only mortal. How depressing yet uplifting that notion is.
