John Roth is officially Nortel-less
- FROM Mar. 14, 2001: Nortel CEO Roth made $100 million US in 2000
Roth took over as Nortel's president and CEO in 1997 and dramatically restructured the company, turning it from a telephone technology company to a builder of the Internet.
After that bubble burst in 2001 and Roth issued several earnings warnings – slashing Nortel's workforce in the process – he left resigned from Nortel's executive ranks in October 2001.
