Question #1
Given that Greenawalt’s M&A strategy has successfully driven revenue growth but resulted in high leverage and persistent net losses, does he possess the operational discipline to prioritize integration and margin expansion, or will his core identity as a dealmaker continue to dominate his strategic focus?
Question #2
Does Greenawalt view the company’s high-risk debt profile as a temporary and calculated cost of achieving his long-term vision, or has the severe stock underperformance forced a fundamental and uncomfortable shift in his personal philosophy on capital allocation and risk management?
