Verizon CEO Dan Schulman turned down the job several times before leaving retirement

Fortune by Tatiana Sataua, November 11, 2026

CEO Dan Schulman recently joined Fortune’s Titans and Disruptors of Industry podcast to discuss what brought him out of retirement, the hard choices required to streamline Verizon's operations, and the encouraging Q3 numbers showing that the turnaround is taking hold.

Asked how he’ll ultimately measure success, Schulman pointed to customer trust and employee pride: “We’re surprising a lot of people right now,” he said, “and it feels good when that happens.”

What BS.... turned job down before multiple time? Sure you did Werner.... Vz Board transition plan was fire Hans on a Sunday and announce you the following day.

Reality you were smartest in the d-mbest row in Board room.

This CEO citing employee pride has to be one of the most delusional things I've ever heard. Glassdoor says 26% on his approval rating. If "pride" is fear, then black is white.
