On the lookout for the next generation of industry titans, the November 11 issue of CMP's Computer Reseller News, features a list of twenty of the technology industry's best and brightest executives. The 20 To Watch edition profiles the leaders at some of the most scrutinized companies in the IT business, including Apple's Gilbert Amelio, Microsoft's Brad Silverberg; Novell's Joe Marengi and IBM's David Carlucci. The stories go beyond business degrees, strategies and mantras, and offer new insights into these executives' lives, both in and out of the office.

"What's unique about our 20 To Watch list is that it's a collection of executives who are facing daunting challenges over the next 12 months," said Robert Faletra Editor-In-Chief of Computer Reseller News. "Some of those on the list made it because they are in a make-or-break situation at leading companies that are in financial trouble. Others find themselves profiled simply because they are successful and on the cusp of great things."

According to Faletra, the Computer Reseller News 20 to Watch special feature is a must-read for anyone who wants to:

-- find out which executive plans to take time out from plotting how Toshiba will match its notebook success in the desktop market to be part of America's Cup champ Dennis Conner's yachting crew in the Whitbread Race of the World.

-- discover which computer-services company chairman prefers his leather jacket and Harley-Davidson to a suit and more conventional transportation.

-- learn why Iomega Corp.'s Kim Edwards keeps a Bernoulli drive in his closet. And find out why another one of Bill Gates high-school classmates, Craig McCaw, is providing the technological vision and financial investments that will alter the entire way that people communicate without the aid of wires.

-- discover what motivated Dwight Steffensen to give up his retirement in Southern California to accept the chief executive slot at Merisel Inc.; why Mike Norris left his promising post at Compaq Computer Corp. to spearhead a turnaround effort at Intelligent Electronics Inc.; and why Apple Computer Inc. board member Gilbert Amelio decided to step in as chief executive of the floundering PC company.

-- get the inside scoop about powerful executives setting the pace in Internet services and electronic commerce. Although he may not be well-known outside the telecommunications industry, James Crowe has architected a fast- growing empire at MFS Communications, buying Internet services leader Uunet Technologies Inc. and then merging the combined entity with Worldcom Inc. The resulting alliance promises to produce a giant in fiber-optic networking.
