Al Dunlap, former Boca Raton company CEO dubbed 'Chainsaw Al,' dies at 81

In South Florida, Dunlap was known for a slashing restructuring strategy that made him a Wall Street sensation but ended in his own firing at Sunbeam, now Jarden. At Scott Paper, he had pumped the stock by chopping thousands of jobs and selling off assets. He became known as “Chainsaw Al” and “Rambo in Pinstripes.” He wrote about his strategy in a book, “Mean Business” and appeared on TV news shows including “Dateline” and “Nightline.”
