When I started at Schwab about a month ago, I thought since the former CEO returned to the company to help the company grow, I would one day, not soon, post outside of the very building which houses his office, and wait until he appeared, so I could either take a picture with him, or just introduce myself. (A fan thing to do, I know)
I was going downstairs to get my usual afternoon beverage at the Cafe on the first floor, and just as the door opened, the floor was swamped with men in business suits. It was a little strange, but I brushed it off as another potential client that upper management was trying to schmooze. Just as I walked in front of the group, a man says "Mr. Schwab, this way...", so I did a double and triple take of the group of 20 - 30 men, and spotted Charles Schwab near the corner of the group of men.
He looks exactly like his profile picture on the internal website, the Schweb!, except seeing him in person is so much more thrilling than seeing him on the web. He would probably be the first "celebrity" I have seen SO close, I potentially could have reached my arms out and touched him, had I known he was in front of my face the entire time. Too bad I saw him just as I was passing by him to go through security.
*Phew*
Anyway, isn't this interesting....
