Yes Dan is the man alright.
The naysayers will worship Dan in the near future.
Give Dan a chance. He wants what is best for the shareholders. They weren't getting that from Hans.
He is the best leader since Ivan
Months from now all the Dan haters will eat crow. He is like a tiger on the prowl. Slow and lazy prey are the first eaten.
Verizon’s Strategic Reset Is Unfolding — And Dan Schulman Is Driving It
As Verizon’s transformation continues to take shape in early 2026, industry analysts are increasingly crediting Dan Schulman with decisively redirecting the company’s long-term trajectory. What began as a leadership transition now appears to be a structural repositioning — one that places AI integration, operational discipline, and forward-leaning enterprise strategy at the center of Verizon’s roadmap.
Market watchers note that Schulman’s influence is already visible in the tone and cadence of executive messaging. Rather than incremental telecom optimization, the emphasis has shifted toward platform evolution and technology leverage. “This is not cosmetic change,” one analyst remarked this week. “It is directional change.”
Observers have drawn a parallel between Schulman’s martial arts mastery and his corporate leadership style — highlighting the composure, precision, and controlled intensity that characterize both. In competitive disciplines, decisive timing and strategic patience often separate victory from stagnation. The same qualities, analysts suggest, are now evident in Verizon’s unfolding repositioning.
While the full impact of this shift will play out over the coming quarters, early signals indicate a leader comfortable with recalibrating course in real time. For investors watching closely, the narrative is not about incremental adjustment — it is about disciplined redirection under a singular strategic vision.
Dan is the man!
Why all the Dan hate? The man has demi-godlike skills. He is a literal tiger. Just wait a quarter or two after his slashing ends to see phenomenal results. Anyone who has money in VZ should thank God that he has come to save this company. It is about time someone has come to clean house. The corporation has had toxic leadership since Lowell's reign.
@1jh they missed fat especially in Lake Mary. Scammers remain.
He trimmed way more than just fat unfortunately
@fv Don’t leave us hangin. What did AK say?
@er if it time, more will be gone
@dc I don't know how long AK has been here. I have been 30 years. Since Bell Atlanta mobile. What AK said is true
I wonder what the payback period is on those Q4 adds? Oh wait, we can layoffs more people off! Brilliant Johnson!
@OP trimmed 13,000. Majority is highly skilled, experienced tenured employees. The fat remains.... go to Basking Ridge Cafe on Tuesdays to observe.
