The press release went on to mentioned that Mr. Loof previously served as Chief Executive Officer of Sensormatic Electronics Corporation, and held various leadership roles at Andersen Consulting, Digital Equipment Corporation, AT&T and NCR.
What the press release didn't mention is Per-Olof's penchant for the dramatic. It turns out that Per-Olof owns an electric guitar and is not afraid to use it. As President and CEO of AT&T Istel, Loof appeared as the lead singer and guitarist of AT&T's "All In the Family Band." The song was then distributed on a CD to all of AT&T's employees in the UK.
The breakup of AT&T did not deter Loof's musical aspirations, however. According to ZDNet UK, he landed at Sensormatic and in a new band with a new corporate anthem "We can do it again."
I told you we can fly
Reach up high
Nothing's too far
We're raising the bar
We've just broken through
That's how I know
Just check, the flow.
Apparently Loof did do it again. Sensormatic was bought by Tyco and Loof's recording contract was not renewed, yet again. If we follow the press release around we might expect a few more of his musical styling to be hidden about the web covering Anderson Consulting and Digital equipment, but really who cares? We are looking for the new Kemet anthem. What rhymes with tantalum?
