who even is the new guy? how did the "advising" engagement start? was it competitive? was he a paid consultant thru his own firm or another vendor? was there any real search before his appointment or was the outcome predetermined? if he spent a year advising, did he also evaluate TCs work, because that's a conflict of interest if his advice led to TCs departure.
JR and BR presumably know each other from Capital Group, so who pushes back on BR if the decisions are wrong? he helps pick his replacement, and 12-18 months is a loonnngggg audition for the role. even tho LinkedIn says he's retired, is he a candidate, who's now on both sides of the search for CIO?
will more of BR's friends from Capital Group start showing up in leadership positions or consulting engagements?
will JR drift towards Accenture, given his Accenture background?
