Promoted to President of Medtronic just like Geoff was before he took over. Makes me hopeful… Mike gets it and believes in the Mission. 1,000,000 times better than the id--tic frat boy we have now.

@e1 It's better than minor league baseballer Skip. It's a cause for celebration if MM is the next CEO. Can't come soon enough.
Be careful what you wish for!
@dx we’d just be replacing ice hockey with football
"1,000,000 times better than the id--tic frat boy we have now.:"
Omg you're clueless. Huge face palm on this. If you think GM is a frat boy you haven't seen anything yet once MM gets in, makes GM look like a preppy.
"Mike gets it and believes in the Mission."
Yup, clueless confirmed. There's still time to take this post down. He's just a sales guy, he believes in selling things, doesn't care what the mission is. I doubt he even knows what the tenets are. I think GM should have been canned well over 2 years ago, going with MM is 5 steps the wrong way. They should bring in an outsider.
Frist executive order IMO 5 days RTO or termination. Look at Boston/NoHav Robotics as an example ... 2nd .... bye bye to whatever is left of Surgical
Divesting Surgical is the most likely scenario. The guy always looks constipated.
This could be one of the 1st steps in preparation for GM “retirement” (He’s reaching 59 this December). Plus expanding Mike’s role to cover China which has been well managed by Alex G. makes me wonder why… potential separation of Surgical business perhaps?
@aw from what I’ve heard, he’s the king of RTO
@b4 what do you think? Is he better for MDT employees?
I called it months ago ......
@aw if he wants to do anything good for employees they won’t make him ceo
I don't know enough about him
As long as he stops all the crazy things that are happening right now. Like mass lay offs, rto, and cutting down on lavish spending (yes some marketing teams are paying for lavish dinners costing £5k).
And he believes in the MDT mission
We are better off with him than what we currently have
No way. Hes a bully and not smart enough. Stents was his speed, He’s failed up as high as he should go.
