He had CFO background at II Morrow technologies which UPS acquired in ‘86. Davis pretty much crippled the company with his micro-management style and the bean-counter focused approach.
So let’s hope we’ll see more of Abney and less of Davis in the new CEO.
i agree with you on the possibility of being a Davis. If you look at Home Depot stores around the county, there isn’t much investment in infrastructure. They look dated. The employees look un-motivated. The stores look a mess. This is the typical bean counter approach to business. Keep squeezing every last penny. HD is non union. It will be interesting to see her approach towards that. The worst decision this company ever made was going public. I noticed in one of the articles they referred to “stake holders”. They use to be partners. The company culture has gone by the wayside. Mid level management jumping ship to Amazon. Talent pool drying up. It’s going to be interesting to see what the future holds. The new HD Orange pilot uniforms will look great.
