POWER 10: JOHN SLITZ JR

Article Abstract:

Novell Inc. corporate marketing head John Slitz Jr. has helped the firm achieve a turnaround after posting a $78.3 million loss in 1997. Slitz's aggressive public relations campaign helped the company regain credibility, targeting information technology professionals and top management with conferences and seminars about Novell and its products. Slitz emphasizes Novell's reliability rather than its speed, and uses Novell's alliances with such firms as IBM to enhance its credibility.
