Subject: traveling C-suite Речь идет о Россе Ульбрихте, владельце анонимной торговой площадки Шелковый путь. Не пойму, что означает his laptop was like a traveling C-suite?In fact, the kid was, despite his humble appearance, an unlikely mogul; the volume of exchanges that had passed through his website was valued not in the millions, but over a billion. His personal net worth was already close to thirty million. But although the site ran well, in the digital, well-oiled-machine kind of way, nothing about managing a monster like that was easy. It required constant maintenance and oversight, and even though the kid didn’t have an office of his own, his laptop was like a traveling C-suite. Instead of some corporate cube in a tower in the Financial District, or the atmosphere-controlled cabin of a private jet, he had a corner of the public library, or a coffee shop, or a tiny bedroom in his shared apartment just a few blocks away.
