Undercover Boss – GSI Commerce’s Michael Rubin

March 29, 2010

In case you missed it, Michael Rubin, CEO of GSI Commerce, went undercover for last week’s episode of CBS’s breakout hit, Undercover Boss. Michael was actually undercover during the peak holiday shopping season last year. If you haven’t heard of or seen Undercover Boss, check out this NYTimes article.

Michael was only fired from one of his undercover jobs (packing)…well, maybe 1.5 of them as his truck loading skills weren’t that great. He needs to play a little Tetris.

Watch the complete episode @ cbs.com.

GSI Commerce is featuring the episode on its site and tied it in with career opportunities at the company as well as its member’s only site: Rue La La. Smart move.
