????十年前，美國(guó)在線（AOL）前高管布拉德?加林豪斯曾掌舵過(guò)一家新創(chuàng)企業(yè),，而現(xiàn)在時(shí)光輪轉(zhuǎn),，他又重新回到了原點(diǎn)。加林豪斯此次將加盟文件傳送和分享公司YouSendIt,，出任首席執(zhí)行官,。

????加林豪斯于去年12月離開美國(guó)在線，雖然此前有人推測(cè)他可能會(huì)進(jìn)入投資領(lǐng)域,，因?yàn)榧恿趾浪乖谶@些年里投資了不少新創(chuàng)企業(yè),，還曾短暫擔(dān)任過(guò)銀湖私募股權(quán)公司（Silver Lake Partners）的高級(jí)顧問(wèn)，但加林豪斯最終選擇了潛力巨大的YouSendIt,。

????YouSendIt位于加州坎貝爾市,，自2003年成立以來(lái)，已經(jīng)募集到超過(guò)4800萬(wàn)美元的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)投資,，該公司預(yù)計(jì)今年收益將超過(guò)6000萬(wàn)美元,，同比去年增幅高達(dá)61%。YouSendIt聲稱其擁有超過(guò)3000萬(wàn)注冊(cè)用戶,，其中付費(fèi)用戶接近60萬(wàn),。每日新注冊(cè)用戶達(dá)到3萬(wàn)人。鑒于在過(guò)去近8年時(shí)間里,，加林豪斯一直掙扎在兩家深陷泥潭的技術(shù)公司（美國(guó)在線和雅虎）,，這次他選擇一家身家清白的新創(chuàng)企業(yè)也就不足為奇了。

????加林豪斯向《財(cái)富》（Fortune）表示“我不想成為逆流而上的大馬哈魚,，我過(guò)去在美國(guó)在線所經(jīng)歷的已經(jīng)夠多了,。”（加林豪斯并未排除搖搖欲墜的美國(guó)在線有東山再起的可能性,。）“不過(guò)要問(wèn)我是否認(rèn)為自己能為YouSendIt或是美國(guó)在線創(chuàng)造數(shù)十億美元的價(jià)值,？毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，這是一定的,?！奔恿趾浪共⑽赐嘎蹲约簳?huì)為YouSendIt制定哪些戰(zhàn)略，他倒是大談特談自己正在積極進(jìn)行招聘活動(dòng),，將為 YouSendIt招聘210名左右新員工,。

????時(shí)至今日，大家可能都還記得加林豪斯的“花生醬宣言”,。2006年,，時(shí)任雅虎高級(jí)副總裁的加林豪斯發(fā)出一封公司范圍的備忘錄。在這份甜心先生風(fēng)格的備忘錄中，加林豪斯批評(píng)雅虎缺乏遠(yuǎn)見,、責(zé)任心和決策力,，對(duì)資源分配不當(dāng)，就像在面包上抹花生醬一樣,，雖然很多,，但非常稀薄。2009年,，加林豪斯離開雅虎,，受蒂姆?阿姆斯特朗邀請(qǐng)，加盟位于帕洛阿爾托的美國(guó)在線產(chǎn)品導(dǎo)向部擔(dān)任主管,。

????More than a decade since Brad Garlinghouse helmed a start-up, the ex-AOL president is in, a way, coming full circle. Only this time, he's joining the file-sending and sharing company YouSendIt as CEO.

????Though some had speculated he might go the investor route after his departure from AOL (AOL) last December -- Garlinghouse has invested in several startups over the years and served a brief stint as senior advisor at Silver Lake Partners -- he attributes his new role to the company's quiet growth.

????The Campbell, California-based YouSendIt, which has raised over $48 million venture capital funding since being founded in 2003, is expected to surpass $60 million in revenue this year, a 61% increase over 2011. The company reports 30 million-plus registered users, nearly 600,000 of which pay. Some 30,000 new users sign up daily. And given that Garlinghouse has spent nearly 8 years at two big struggling tech companies -- AOL and Yahoo (YHOO) -- it's not a huge surprise he wants a clean slate to work with.

????"I didn't want to be the salmon swimming upstream, and I think AOL was an experience with a lot of upstream swimming," Garlinghouse told Fortune. (He doesn't rule out the possibility that a struggling AOL may still turn itself around.) "But do I think I can create a billion dollars of value with YouSendIt or AOL? No question. There's no contest." Garlinghouse would not discuss specifics of his strategy for the company other than to say he's actively recruiting to add to the startup's team of 210 or so employees.

????To this day, Garlinghouse may best be remembered in some circles as the former Yahoo senior vice president who sent out the Jerry Maguire-esque "Peanut Butter Manifesto" in 2006, an office-wide memo that chastised Yahoo for lacking vision, accountability and decisiveness, comparing the company's resource spending to spreading peanut butter (thinly) on a slice of bread. In 2009, he was recruited by Tim Armstrong to head AOL's products-driven offices in Palo Alto.
