- Executing ‘Step Up’ program to deliver structural margin gains.
- Executing AI pivot to capture 1B data center revenue.
- Navigating ATV destocking amid China market weakness.

Question #1
As he navigates the current downturn, will Hanebeck maintain the discipline required to execute the ‘Step Up’ program’s cost-cutting, or will his conviction in long-term, capital-intensive investments lead him to sacrifice near-term margin stability?
Question #2
When executing the AI pivot, will Hanebeck default to his M&A playbook to acquire capabilities, or does he possess the nuanced strategic vision to navigate the competitive dynamics of the high-velocity data center market?
Question #3
Given the failed Wolfspeed deal highlighted a potential geopolitical blind spot, does Hanebeck now have the strategic foresight to navigate the complex China market dynamics driving the automotive downturn, or will he rely primarily on the operational playbook that made him successful in a less politically fraught era?
