Copied below is an email received by a Forum
participant from a former CA executive who offers the abilities to
"communicate effectively, ...handle difficult situations professionally
and tactfully, and ...juggle multiple tasks without losing his sense of
humor." He expects to be "prepared to consider any reasonable opportunity
that will give [him] a chance to use the talents and skills [he]
developed" when he completes his current assignment a year from now.
For those of you who may be unfamiliar with
his professional qualifications, a January 2007 report of his career
history is copied beneath his email.

As you know, I will be ready to re-join the ranks of the employed beginning March 2008. I am writing to you now because beginning May 1, it will become increasingly more difficult to communicate with you on a regular basis. I am prepared to consider any reasonable opportunity that will give me a chance to use the talents and skills I developed as an attorney. I am convinced that my experience in a fast-paced corporate environment and my background as an attorney makes me ideally suited for a position that requires someone who is pragmatic, clear-thinking, has good analytical skills, has supervised other people (and enjoys mentoring them), has managed a corporate department, can communicate effectively, can handle difficult situations professionally and tactfully, and who can juggle multiple tasks without losing his sense of humor. I can also write much shorter sentences.
At this point in my life, I am not looking for a position that involves the practice of law. I am willing to accept the challenge of learning new skills or heading in a direction that, as I write to you, I would not have anticipated. In short, I am adaptable (to which my recent life experiences readily attest). If you have an idea worth exploring, I welcome the chance to discuss it with you. You can reach me by email (swoghin@optonline.net) or by telephone at 631.367.1420.
Thank you for your help.

Former CA chief counsel gets
2-year jail term

Choking back tears, former Computer Associates chief
counsel Steve Woghin apologized in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn Tuesday
for his role in a $2.2 billion accounting scandal at the company before he
was sentenced to a two-year jail term.
Woghin, who pleaded guilty in September 2004 to securities fraud conspiracy and obstruction of justice charges, faced U.S. District Court Judge I. Leo Glasser and said in an emotional voice that he was sorry for the role he had played in the scandal that toppled most of the company's top management, including chief executive officer Sanjay Kumar, who also plead guilty and is to begin serving a 12 year jail sentence next month. The Islandia-based company, one of the country's largest manufacturers of software for large banks, insurance companies and airlines, is now known as CA Inc. Woghin said his part in the affair was "not a legacy I would like to leave... It was not for personal gain or hubris," he added, choking back tears as about 15 of his friends and relatives looked on in the courtroom. "I'm deeply sorry for what I have done," Woghin said. Glasser told Woghin "I'm sorry you're here. I would be happier of I had never seen you before." In addition to the two-year prison sentence, Woghin was also sentenced to three years supervised release and a fine to be determined at a later date. Woghin worked at the U.S. Justice Department for 10 years before joining CA in 1992. He was charged with overseeing a team of CA lawyers who "routinely" drafted software licensing contracts with clients after a quarter had closed and with drafting at least one of the contracts himself. He stepped down from CA in May 2004. Additionally, prosecutors said, Woghin and another top CA executive traveled to Hawaii to buy the silence of Enterprise Management Systems's president, who was not identified in court papers. Prosecutors said the CA officials orchestrated a "revenue swap" with EMS in which CA improperly booked $5 million in revenue in March 2000 and $18.5 million in June 2000.
