BOB PITTMAN
President and chief operating officer, America Online
Bob Pittman is president and chief operating officer of America Online, and
a member of its board of directors. Pittman oversees the overall day-to-day operations
of the world's leader in branded interactive services — with more than 18 million paying
members in its combined online services, tens of millions of users of its Web products
and almost $4 billion in annual revenues. He is also responsible for the further
development and implementation of AOL's innovative multi-brand strategy, including
the integration of the recently acquired properties of Netscape and oversight of
the e-commerce alliance with Sun Microsystems.
Perhaps best known as the programmer
who created MTV, Pittman has charted new ground in radio, television and cable network
programming, the theme-park industry and real estate, while building branded consumer
businesses as the CEO of MTV Networks, Quantum Media, Time Warner Enterprises, Six Flags
Entertainment and CENTURY 21 Real Estate Corporation. He joined AOL as president and
chief executive officer of its AOL Networks unit in October 1996 and was appointed as
president and COO in February 1998.
