Lessons from PSINet's former CEO William Schrader. Well, no one. But that didn t stop PSINet s former CEO William Schrader from taking the plunge. It s a common story of daring, pride and willful blindness. It started, as it does for many of us, with an idea.
Ideas are cheap, a dime a dozen.
Execution is all. Schrader s 1989 idea was to provide commercial and personal Internet services. The Commercial Internet eXchange and the opening of the Net to business traffic is still two years away. No one has even heard of a dot-com, but he makes it work. He does it by driving his idea with all the passion and energy in his heart.
