Michael Hurlston
CEO Hurlston's tenure at Synaptics saw revenue drop by 33%, but his cost-cutting strategies increased margins, doubling shares despite volatile performance.
Sources say Hurlston is a driven leader with strong financial acumen but lacks strategic vision, making him a risky choice for Lumentum's growth.
Concerns about Hurlston's management style include selective transparency, reliance on loyalists, and fostering a competitive work environment, which may inject cultural risk at Lumentum.
