Question #1
As Toomey pushes for greater efficiency through his tech-driven operating model, how does he balance the strategic goal of margin expansion against the risk of the on-the-ground operational and legal failures that have recently emerged?
Question #2
Given his admitted misjudgment in Denver, does Toomey’s conviction in his long-term portfolio strategy make him agile enough to pivot in specific markets, or does it create a risk of him holding onto assets too long through periods of cyclical underperformance?
Question #3
Does Toomey’s immense credibility and long-term track record cause him to be overly confident in his playbook, or has the recent collapse in performance and departure of his CIO forced him to demonstrate a new level of urgency and adaptability?
