On January 17, Dennis Kozlowski will be released on parole by the State of New York after serving an 8 1/3 year sentence in the state’s tough prison system. Kozlowski is the former CEO of Tyco International. During the decade he headed the company (1992 – 2002), Tyco grew from a small New Hampshire conglomerate into a global giant operating in more than 100 countries with 250,000 employees and $40 billion in annual revenue. While some people recognize Kozlowski for his extraordinary success as a manager, many more remember him as the highly paid executive with an extravagant lifestyle, including his infamous $6,000 shower curtain, who was convicted of taking more than $100 million from Tyco.
