'Unruly Julie' Wants a Job

Former marketing SVP Julie Roehm speaks to Media Village’s Jack Myers, as TV guru Shelly Palmer looks on

Julie Roehm might be the highest-profile marketing exec in America right now, after getting canned from Wal-Mart following just 10 months on the job. And since she’s on “14 minutes and 33 seconds” of her 15 minutes of fame, she’s talking to as many people as possible.

Speaking to a room full of sleet-laden media execs and entrepreneurs this morning at a non-descript room in midtown Manhattan, she was cagey about whether she’s looking for a job, but did tell moderator Jack Myers about a venture she’s trying that could, ultimately, undercut the “upfront” market.
