About this person
Ratner achieved notoriety after making a speech in 1991 where he jokingly denigrated his company's products as "total crap", leading to the company's near-collapse and his exit from the business in 1993. The notorious speech led to the creation of the phrase "doing a Ratner", meaning to make ruinous comments about your company or products.
