Not sure how anyone has time for working and serving customers with all the pushes to volunteer, support ERGs and attend ridiculous woke events that have nothing to do with business.
@xek+1mDUJFWD why do you write in such stilted language?
@xek+1mDUJFWD: question, gender, same as Lady Liberty entering through Ellis Island?? No longer the land of opportunity and I am fine with that previous generational ideology, which was applicable for when the country experienced an Industrial Revolution.
@xek+1mDUJFWD: OP, I can appreciate the voiced frustration, as I share the pain!!!!
@xek+1mDUJFWD: gender?
Can you hear us now Diego?
Wash those feet, put some socks on, and take your crayons and underwear marketing elsewhere! You did absolutely nothing for Verizon sales except stunt them. Kind of like Hagar the Horrible.

Fortunately, the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) has been relieved of their position due to their failure to generate any return on investment (ROI). However, I eagerly anticipate decisive actions to be taken against Leaders within the GTS.
I will refrain from mentioning the explicit name here, but it will be evident to readers who I am referring to in the example from GTS for corruption and nepotism in the following paragraph
An individual (Leader) from Verizon India was permitted to relocate from India to the Verizon US office solely driven by personal motives, with the aim of providing educational opportunities for their family members and securing permanent residence immigration status for them. Secondly, It is disheartening to witness that Leaders appointment as the Vice President of Data Engineering, despite their lack of relevant expertise in the field. This situation sheds light on the pervasive presence of corruption and nepotism, as this VP has exploited his position to manipulate the system and secure favorable placements within the Verizon us office. Such actions cannot be carried out without the support of higher-ranking VPs who were all involved in facilitating this arrangement.
Furthermore, similar abuses of power exist within the GTS organization, extending beyond the a fo-e-mentioned example.
I apologize for digressing from the primary topic, which revolves around Diego's departure and the opportunity to rectify the situation at Verizon. However, I believe it is important to address the necessary cleanup required in GTS, which has been neglected thus far.
I don’t understand how it took this long after that e3 talk and demo that looked like it was out of the 90s.

Yet another executive is reportedly leaving Verizon. Chief Marketing Officer Diego Scotti, who’s been with the company over eight years, is leaving to focus on “building a new chapter in his career” and will explore new challenges, according to published reports.
Verizon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Never, ever, seen so many at the top get kicked to the curb! It's like manna from heaven, please don't stop!

Is anyone from the USA in this company?
Diego and his homies and girlies destroyed VZ's once iconic marketing for PC nonsense, childish artwork, and mis-sized and unworkable fonts. I am surprised the stock is not up!
OP: Has another VZ EVP been displaced - this position held by the VZ CMO? Not clear with the ongoing posting.....
I won't shed a tear for any of these people. Good luck finding a bs job like you had
Let’s not forget the VP of Finance out in Tulsa. The house of cards is imploding.
Good riddance to bad trash. He totally (and blindly) believed in one thing and sunk all of it in that. Turns out it’s not true in consumers’ minds. Go back and peddle designer clothes
Is he responsible for the big red checkmark logo rebranding
Long overdue. Never knew anyone that enjoyed working with him.
Remember the ice cream cone data plans? That is what he brought to the table.
Is Krista gone too?
when top managers of a large conmpany jump ship,there is something wrong in the company,why are they all jumping ship,they must know something that the common workers does not know until the END.
You can't hire from outside US when your market is primarily US. They don't have the same passion or knowledge or background in US telecom. Good riddance, Diego, Manon, Ronan, and soon Hans.
Is he picking the replacement? More likely the board doing so? This feels like a good place for John Legere to fit in to help shake some things up.
Krista, Diego, Manon, Ellis. There's a purge happening.......don't forget Tami Irwin
There was another Finance GNT SVP left in March. And then Ms. Palmer as well.
Krista, Diego, Manon, Ellis. There's a purge happening.
Perhaps there is truth in the sizable RIF rumor stated for May 24/25? Clearing the leaders first.
I’m fine with this move. Verizon’s marketing has felt pretty directionless for a while now and I’m ready for some fresh ideas. I don’t know anything about the folks shoring up the department while the next leader is found.
I'm glad Diego is out... should have been gone a while ago. Unfortunately with Hans still in charge and picking his replacement nothing real is likely to change.
