Question #1
As Reilly looks to deploy over $1B in capital, will his instinct for transformative M&A, as seen with the REIT conversion and UPREIT structure, override the discipline required to manage the company’s persistent high leverage?
Question #2
Given Reilly’s track record of pioneering high-stakes innovations like the digital rollout and programmatic advertising, does his focus on the next strategic win sometimes cause him to deprioritize the operational and reputational risks of the core business, such as the controversial ad content issue?
Question #3
While Reilly has proven adept at driving top-down strategic shifts, does his visionary leadership style effectively translate to the operational level, or does it create cultural friction that could undermine the execution of his long-term growth initiatives?
