So firm is splitting. Connectivity and Platforms will be a separate company. Angelakis is coming back and will be the CEO of that. Croney is already CEO of that unit today. After split, will there be two CEOs, or does Croney go back being the COO? Or can someone confirm the rumors that Herrin is finished and Stirling will take his space ?

Croney will be COO
@as the leadership announcement was circulated to all employees over the summer, long before the Goldman conference.
Yeah. Croney = COO. Or at least indicated via a few email's.
You don’t voluntarily opt into employee-wide emails. Correct. Apparently you voluntarily tune into Goldman Sachs conferences instead, since Wall Street gets the update before the people whose jobs are actually on the line.
But please, keep lecturing everyone about email.
It seems to me Croney is just useless overhead. Don’t need a COO to run things, just another layer that adds no value.
What about Elad ? Is he going to be around ? I hope there is a full house cleanup and a new innovative leadership is brought in from outside to rearchitect everything to pull this company out of stone age and prevent drinking its kool aid. You can not get a different result by keep trying the same strategy. Elad is at SCTE next week and talking at panels, he must be feeling pretty safe.
@af “opted in”? You don’t voluntarily opt in to employee-wide emails.
@aa not everyone is opted into the emails you know? Shut your pie hole.
Read your emails.
Herrin is confirmed retiring - not a rumor. That was a mass email announcement from Croney a while ago thanking him for tenure here. There has been no update on who succeeds him or what the future technology group looks like.
I think - if I remember correctly - it was also recently announced in a mass organizational email update that Croney continues as “President and COO” (or something to that effect) under Angelakis. It was basically just semantics, his position as “one below CEO” hasn’t changed.
The mystery is what they do with Herrin’s replacement. I know there was a post here that said we’d see a “product-led” structure after Labor Day but none of that has been confirmed or announced to date. The fact that nothing has been shared is an indication to me that the scope and responsibility of that role will be a lot different going forward, and the current TPX structure will not continue in the same way.
To be clear: I don’t have any inside scoops. I sure wish they would say something ASAP and end the waiting game/paralysis we’re all in.
