It's not what you know . . .

Or, is it? In this case, it's what AND who. Adam Miller has been dealing with corporations for years. And, has apparently counseled many of them on some major deals. They like him. I guess he's good at it. So, he has left his role as President of the Abernathy MacGregor firm to become a senior advisor at ComCast. http://nyti.ms/9pk6tg

Well, he knows the inside out workings of it. He's been advising the company through its acquisition of GE/NBC. He's been working these kinds of deals for 16 years. And, he's only 40 years old!

Certainly, he has shown his talents for a while. So, it's what he knew. But, how much of Miller's success might be attributed to "who" he knew? How much can he say about networking and his career success? That's a question I'd like to ask him. Certainly, in this career move it was a "who" connection.
