RE:GOLDMAN SAX I think what you have to do here is read between the lines and how this is more than likely linked to the new CEO.
Think about it, the new CEO is to be announced any day now. This announcement of Judy Hong as VP Investor Relations is directly linked to the new CEO. She has incredible global experience.
"Judy has over 20 years of experience at Goldman Sachs & Co (“Goldman Sachs”), most recently serving as a Managing Director of its Global Investment Research Division covering the US beverage and tobacco sectors. She has covered many of the world’s most prominent consumer product goods companies during her tenure..." The timining of this hiring is in line with the timing of the hiring of the new CEO. I will wager that the new CEO had some influence on this and may have been a prerequisite to his or her hiring. Can't wait to see who the new CEO is and how they may be both linked. Great news.
