Are there unrealized assets within Sun? What can generate cash in the short term?
I m scouring the company right now to drive two basic goals. One is to see what technical efficiency and operational efficiency we can drive. I ve been a bit of a maniac on that for the past four years. That s why we ve driven gross margin improvements, radical improvement in our cash conversion cycle and, along with Scott, reduced the real estate holdings of the company by 6 million square feet. When it comes to efficiency, there are no two bigger fans in Sun than Mike Lehman [Sun s chief financial officer] and me. That s why we ve decided to share an office. Is that to be closer to friends or closer to your enemies? That s to be closer to a partner in arms to drive efficiency across the company. And our point is that if the CEO and CFO can share an office, you can too. Why? Because it will allow us to free up cash and capital that we can use to invest in our shareholders and long-term innovators. The other thing I m going to be focusing on is leveraging that efficiency to drive growt
