Insider: Traffic Cop

It’s said that a former phone company veteran is a cinch to spot in any office environment, so predictable are the ways of that particular breed of executive.
Wayne Mitchell, or just Mitch, is the exception. The 10-and-a-half-year veteran of Nynex, and later its merger partner, Bell Atlantic, has made a seamless transition into his new job at online media specialists i-traffic in lower Manhattan, even among the group of twentysomethings he manages.
Sure, there’s a slight generation gap, the 39-year-old Mitchell acknowledges; he just cannot get accustomed to the sounds of The Beastie Boys blaring from the office stereo.
