- jbellis 17y agoHe resigned as Chairman, not CEO. From your link: "Whole Foods, along with many other companies with combined CEO/chairman roles, has been targeted by corporate governance activists for several years now seeking a separation of these roles."
- TomOfTTB 17y agoHe resigned as Chairman of the Board but he's still a board member and is still CEO of the company. That's not being pushed out that's being smart enough to realize it would be better to put another face on the company because of a controversy.
