Editor’s Note: Most of you are devoted followers of this column. You know that Juliet Aires Giglio and Eric Grubman share the writing responsibilities, alternating the authorship of the column. You likely have a version of the writing schedule on your refrigerator. You often find yourself thinking, “Well, that was another Grubman column. At least the next one will be appropriate.” According to the schedule, this month is a Juliet production. For her column, Juliet thinks it would be great fun to pretend to be Eric. She will try to write in the lyrical voice of Eric, filling the column with personal insults and outright lies and let the ensuing complaints flow toward Grubman. That’s her evil plan. Let’s see how she does….

Hi there, class of 1984! This is the lesser of the co-secretaries, Eric Grubman, writing this column. Juliet had absolutely nothing to do with it. She is off on a book tour or making another movie or something.

Let’s start with Rob Harteveldt. Rob, like so many of us, works at Goldman Sachs, where he is a managing director in the global markets division. Rather than speaking with Rob, I did some internet research, which I have found to be very accurate. I discovered that managing director is an entry-level position at Goldman Sachs. The equivalent to the guy who gets coffee and donuts for people. You think we shouldn’t tease Harteveldt in this column? Take it up with me, Eric Grubman.

After helping to organize our 30th reunion, Ed Kenealy has apparently decided to decrease the stress in his life. He spends most of his time surfing in Portugal. It’s not all fun though. Ed has taken a side gig as executive vice president and chief public affairs officer at Liberty Mutual Insurance. Nice title, but I have it on good authority that Ed never shows up to work. In the insurance industry, this is technically known as a no-show job. I hope I didn’t just blow his cover. Ed, if you get fired, it’s all Eric’s fault.

Did you know that Rob Watson helped pioneer the green building concept and the LEED building rating system? For this minor achievement, he is considered “one of the best environmental minds in America.” He even has his own Wikipedia page…with a picture…and references. In contrast, my Wikipedia page is still “under construction” and has a great deal of content which is considered “unreliable.”

I may be able to improve my reliability by hiring Tamara Loomis. Tamara is vice president of marketing and communications for Baron Capital, an asset management firm in New York. I don’t really have any assets that require managing, but perhaps I would benefit from a little marketing and communications to improve my Wikipedia page and catch up to Watson. I’m sure Tamara would love to help me (Eric).

So, there you have it. The latest column from Eric (not Juliet). Please direct any negative comments toward him. He can take the heat.
