Bing, Stanley Columnist

Stanley Bing claims to have been born in a log cabin behind the Wharton School of Business, but this, like much else about Fortune's pseudonymous columnist, is a fabrication.

Bing first made his appearance in ESQUIRE Magazine in 1983, writing scurrilous things about his employers and those of his friends, and giving strategic advice to those even more befuddled than he. Rather than risk expulsion from his crabby corporate environment, he created a new name under which he could observe and criticize the executive class while at the same time aspiring to its lifestyle. This strategy has to all intents and purposes succeeded, and today Mr. Bing snipes at the hand that feeds him while functioning as an ultra-haute executive vice president at a huge multinational corporation whose identity is one of the worst kept secrets in business.

In 1995 Bing moved to Fortune Magazine, where he now reports on corporate life twice monthly under the subtle headline BING! His work has also regularly appeared over the years in such publications as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The New York Times Sunday Magazine, New York Magazine, The New York Daily News Sunday Magazine, and a host of women's and computer magazines. He has also appeared as a regular commentator on NPR.

Bing's most recent books are You Look Nice Today, a novel, and The Big Bing, a book of essays, both published in the fall of 2003. Prior to that, Bing published The National Best Seller Throwing the Elephant: Zen and the Art of Managing Up. His previous book was the best-selling What Would Machiavelli Do? The Ends Justify the Meaness, published by HarperBusiness. Bing has been featured in Time Magazine, Imus in the Morning, CBS Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood, and many other national programs.

Bing is also the author of the books Bizwords: Power Talk for Fun and Profit; Crazy Bosses: Spotting Them, Serving Them, Surviving Them (to be reissued by HarperCollins in the spring of 2004); and Lloyd: What Happened, a novel with accompanying computer graphics, which was published in hard cover by Crown in 1998 and by Vintage in paperback this past spring. Lloyd tracks one year in the life of a middle manager who, in becoming a very senior officer of his corporation, also becomes sort of a rotten person. It is currently in development for television by Tom Hanks' production company, Playtone.

Shawn Tully joined Fortune as a reporter in 1979, following a stint as a Contributing Editor to newly-founded New Jersey Monthly. He was promoted to Associate Editor in 1982, and the following year established Fortune's first editorial office in Paris . During his eight years in Europe, Tully wrote the first article in a major magazine about the EEC's 1992 initiative, profiled business legends Francois Dalle of L'Oreal, Helmut Maucher of Nestle, and Jan Carlzon of SAS, and contributed three investigative pieces about fugitive commodities trader Marc Rich, including the 1983 cover story, "Secrets of Marc Rich." He also chronicled virtually every major trend in then-resurgent European economy, including the boom in cross-border TV and M&A, the rise of the Soviet Union as a major trading partner, the rush to embrace "green" products, and the European practice of paying their CEOs a pittance compared to the gargantuan packages in the U.S. From 1987 to 1989, Tully served as European Editor, supervising all of Fortune's coverage in Europe.

Returning to the U.S. at the start of 1990, Tully contributed features on a wide range of topics, including " America 's Painful Doctor Shortage," "The Super CFOs," and "Donald Trump, An Ex-Loser Is Back in the Money." He also wrote the first piece on financial tool EVA, a cover story entitled "The Real Key to Creating Wealth," and described the plight of executives strapped on six-figure salaries in another cover, "Are You Paid Enough?" Investigative pieces included "The Marriage from Hell," the tale of the troubled union between Northwest Airlines and KLM, "A Deal Too Far" about the disastrous merger of Conseco and Green Tree Financial, and "A House Divided," a behind-the-scenes look at epic battle for the legendary auction house.

Along the way, Tully predicted the collapse of the tech bubble in early 2000 in "Has the Market Gone Mad?" More recently, he's covered the Napster saga ("Big Man Against Big Music"), the stent wars between J&J and Boston Scientific ("Blood Feud") and the troubles at the New York Stock Exchange ("Bringing Down the Temple"). He began predicting a real estate bubble three years ago in a story depicting a house teetering on the edge of a cliff ("Is This House Worth $1.2 Million?") and he's sure that house will someday tumble. He's also developed a specialty in banking, following Jamie Dimon's comeback at Bank One and JP Morgan, and endorsing Bank of America's coast-to-coast retail strategy when most journalists yawned. His most recent pieces were cover stories profiling JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon and warning that the real estate bubble is finally deflating. In the housing story, his theme was simple: It's a great time to sell!

Tully left Fortune in 1996 for a stint as on on-air TV reporter for CNBC, but returned to the magazine in early 1998. He's a frequent guest on such shows as "The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox and CNN's "In the Money," and represents Fortune as a speaker at industry events.
