The worst ran division in the company, they say Columbia is bad? I guess it has a sister store now. Montgomery in Bethesda , Columbia 2.0 except no accountability

Boards have one core job: protect shareholder value. Their role isn’t to be friends with management or the CEO — it’s to keep them accountable and make the tough calls when things go off track.

The problem comes when boards get too cozy with the CEO. They stop challenging decisions, ignore red flags, and let loyalty or personal relationships cloud their judgment. When that happens, no one is holding leadership accountable, and the company can spiral.

The result? A CEO unchecked, making bad calls, chasing ego-driven projects, and ultimately destroying shareholder value. By the time the board wakes up, it’s often too late — the company’s reputation is damaged, the stock is down, and the people who suffer most are the employees and investors who trusted them to do their job.

So why haven’t we seen any investors holding the board accountable for their failure. Didn’t they neglect their fiduciary responsibilities by causing up to Mark and allowing him to make horrible decisions that have seriously damaged the organization.

Zortman, Fargo...clowns. couldn't swallow their pride that they selected Wayne and extended his contract. Then, to cover it up, Wayne lies that it was his choice to leave. Until you clear out the incompetence in the BoD, you'll keep getting subpar CEO selections. I wouldn't trust the remaining EC to run my 10 yr old's lemonade stand.

Looks like he is no longer on the Police Athletic League Board with BQS and Mcguire still sitting on it. Does BQS sit next to McGuire on the PAL Board ? Gotta be awkward right now. Will JRG be spotted at the Lincoln Financial Stadium suite tonight at the Iggels game serving Red Wine and Crepes.

Elliott recently increased its stake in PSX and now owns ~16 million shares.
So they’re not going anywhere.

With Elliott $4bn stake in PepsiCo. They're coming with changes.

Their history....

Elliott takes activist stakes in companies to push for operational improvements, board changes, and other measures to boost shareholder value. Recent and ongoing campaigns include:

PepsiCo ($4 billion stake): Revealed on September 2, 2025, this is reportedly Elliott's largest equity position ever. The firm is advocating for changes to address stagnant share prices and slow growth in PepsiCo's food and beverage segments.

Medtronic: In August 2025, Medtronic added two new board members following a period of underperformance, partially influenced by Elliott's involvement.

Phillips 66: After building a multi-billion-dollar stake, Elliott successfully pushed for changes at the energy refiner in 2024. In February 2025, the fund reportedly increased its stake and is seeking further changes, including a potential spin-off of the midstream business.

Honeywell: In late 2024, Elliott took a stake of over $5 billion and called for the conglomerate to break up, a move it later announced. Elliott subsequently gained a seat on the company's board.

Starbucks: In 2024, Elliott took a large stake in the coffee company and played a role in the ouster of its CEO amid slumping sales.

Equinix: Yahoo Finance reported in July 2025 that Elliott had increased its stake in the digital infrastructure company

I’m tired of seeing MW, LC, EB and whoever the name of the week is.

They are just receiving orders from the real decision makers:

MW, LC, and EB at least have the ba--s to show their face when doing it.

The recent CEO and Board are a bunch of cowards plain and simple. Total lip service and many even bought that lip service. Look what has happened. Beyond a sad day for many people. They say the only constant things in life is change and paying taxes. But change doesn' t mean to sell out to VULTURES. You FAILED as leaders ...but what do you care. You get a lot of money..That is what is it all about right. But also many of you voted for this. You RUINED a respected... what was once a pretty good company. A fact is a fact. Just terrible.

"It's not clear what an activist might be looking to do with PepsiCo (PEP), though they may want the company to split up or maybe the board may need an overhaul, Bilson speculated."

This is what lots of bad management gets you...I think it's pretty obvious to everyone what needs to be done with PEP...

They are, after all, the ones that let Mark run this place into the ground.
They should have all been let go to, unless they found God and see the error of their ways.

Customers again not happy with TransUnion passing all the jobs to India, costa rica among other countries. Can't be happy with the UK, they don't work overtime and you can't get hold of them during pub hours. Let's outsource 100% of IT to another countries but have DEI personnel who works in Texas lead GCC. How does one lead from US who not on the same time schedule, sounds like that person has a husband saving her a-s. Here reports of nothing getting done, do these board members even give a sh-t?
