Scott Galloway of Firebrand Partners scored a coup recently: The New York Times Co. agreed to nominate him and a fellow activist investor for a seat on its board. Did the Times do any due diligence on him? Galloway's chief accomplishment online is cofounding RedEnvelope, a San Francisco-based online retailer.
An online retailer whose CEO just quit. An online retailer whose credit line was just revoked by Wells Fargo. An online retailer whose stock fell more than 50 percent today, heading towards penny territory. Actually, Galloway seems uniquely well qualified to serve on the Times board.

These guys are on the verge of going out of business. Nice job, NYT's!
In all fairness, looking exactly like a white version of Montell Williams aint nothing to shake a stick at.
He could sit on my board anytime
He looks like he's getting ready to point out which rental car he just cleaned out for me.
@BobDope: He looks like he's working hard at stifling a solid silent-but-deadly.
@matto: you win
To his credit, Galloway also cofounded Prophet Consulting, a well known brand consulting company
@jameshong: Hey James, what's with the non-funny response? Didn't you notice the roll we were on?
I didn't know red envelope was in business.
jameshong is right.
Don't go busting on Scott. I worked for him seven years ago, and he is a great guy and far more talented and intelligent than most out there.
