Thomas Polen
Sources report that Polen’s strategic arrogance and failure to foster diverse perspectives have harmed company culture, rendering him unfit to lead a successful turnaround.
Despite praise for his vision, insiders describe Polen as an overconfident micromanager who depends heavily on loyalists and resists adjusting failing initiatives.
Polen’s leadership has produced weak results, with only a 3% FCF CAGR and a 28% decline in share price, causing over 70% alpha destruction according to sources.
