“I’m extremely proud of the work that my team and I accomplished over my three plus years at CMGI,” said McMillan in a statement. “I leave the company financially stronger than I found it when I joined in 2001, and with a stable business foundation on which to grow. I wish Joe great success as he leads the company forward.”
