    The correct answer is #3 — Best Buy. Brian Dunn, a Best Buy veteran and the company’s current president and chief operating officer, will take charge of the consumer electronics retailer on June 24. Dunn worked his way up from the sales floor, joining the company in 1985, when there were only a dozen stores. Within 15 years he had risen through the ranks to become a senior vice president. He was named to his current post in 2006.
