Sol Trujillo on the Line
In San Diego, California, they remember Sol Trujillo. It was the last place in the United States that Sol Trujillo held a full-time position. Between late 2000 and early 2003, he was the CEO and Chairman of a technology company called Graviton. The company was housed here in this building at La Jolla - San Diego's Silicon Valley. Investors believed its cutting-edge technology promising enough to pour US$60 million into the company. Graviton hired Sol Trujillo to take the company to the next level with disastrous results.
Now, Trujillo has taken over Australian firm Telstra and in the last year share prices have fallen 30%. We profile this controversial corporate leader.
