For starters, Craig could cut Shankar and 50% of the GTS executive team and IT would not skip a beat.
You are dreaming.
Sampath will be the new CEO. Aparna will be the new Chief Strategy Officer.
Get ready to move to Mumbai if you want to keep your job.
Craig will likely be responsible for this “restructuring” just like he was responsible for the Covid vaccine mandate and its rollout to employees. He does the dirty work.
You forgot the current portion of long term debt. It’s actually about $150B of debt. I remember when that was considered a large deficit for the entire Federal government to run in a year. Crazy

He'll focus on making about $300M in the shortest time possible.
