We’re posting all the interviews from the sixth D: All Things Digital conference that took place in late May.
Unfortunately, due to issues too complicated to go into, we have to post all the D6 interviews in several 15-minute parts (I know, I know).
But–as many readers have requested–they will all be available in their entirety in this column.
Here’s Part 1 of 3 of an interview I did with Thomson Reuters CEO Tom Glocer.
(I will post one video part of the discussion with Glocer once a day this week, starting today and concluding Wednesday.)
Thomson Reuters was created by a merger in April that created one of the world’s biggest information companies, mostly aimed at businesses and professionals.
In this video, Glocer talks about his geeky background and about making a business selling news and information distribution in the digital age by having the deepest, most reliable and most comprehensive data–able to be consumed by both humans and machines.

Based on what he said in the interview, Tom Glocer has no long term corporate strategy view. It is understood as he himself always change his profession every 10 years. So what would he be in the next few years when this 10-years period come. His last 10-years period is ended by selling Reuters Limited to Thomson (in addition of the questionable Instinet selling). Will Thomson still exist when its CEO feels that it is the time for him to change his profession? Even as one who has a law degree, he is brave enough to do improper behaviour such as doing the irregularities in Thomson Reuters financial system.
