A note from Patricia M. Pomerleau,
Executive Editor of CEOExpress

As computers change the way we work and communicate, we need to make certain that this new world works for humans--in both their work and personal lives. The goal of CEOExpress is to provide a simple, focused and current tool for executives and their businesses. I have always believed since the first day I created CEOExpress that all of us would soon have a "one screen" life. We will be tracking our stocks through the same interface that we check sport scores, send files to our lawyers, check our kid’s soccer scores, and make dinner reservations. Executives have always intertwined their business and personal lives, so why should the Internet be any different? CEOExpress has now evolved into an integrated desktop and wireless interface for executives around the world. We have also launched sister sites for lawyers, journalists and physicians. Our wireless offering, WiredCEO, www.wiredceo.com, is considered a leader among wireless sites. We are now extending this entire concept to the executive’s business - a fully customizable, personalized, hosted version of CEOExpress for your office. EnterpriseExpress is available now for your business. As you know, our intent is to provide the highest quality, most useful, most headache-free business application available anywhere on the Internet. You already know CEOExpress - now make it your own.

Why did I design CEOExpress?

As an executive, I found my peers to be busy people with little time or patience for the Internet. The sheer volume of information and extensive time it can take to locate useful sites can be a significant deterrent for executives interested in using the web. Ironically, the proliferation of search engines and index sites has done little to make the Internet easier to navigate. For the Internet to be worth your while, it needs to produce pertinent information with one click of the mouse. The Internet needed an editor!

I used the following assumptions in designing the site:

1. People who would use this site are smart and don't need excess information on what "The New York Times" and "Wired Magazine" are. Rather, I thought they would simply want to know where to find them with one click - nothing more, nothing less.
   
   
2. To be efficient and effective, all the links would have to be on one page that could be made into an "Opening Page" or desktop wallpaper for a senior executive's computer.
   
   
3. The site would have to be meticulously and expertly updated so that the information would be timely, relevant and contain no dead links.
   
   
4. The site should be a "work in progress," evolving with suggestions from users regarding new links, the page structure and additional services. You'll find that the more you use the Internet, the less you'll want to "surf" and the more you'll utilize the information for targeted business applications and research. CEOExpress has been critical in making the web work faster and smarter for me and I believe you will find it just a valuable for you and your organizations.
