Are there any good examples of a major company where a non-founder CEO was able to put off seeking profit in exchange for a "lofty" goal like this?
- ProllyInfamous 3y agoIndia's TaTa Group? From memory, they donate 2/3rd of profits to selected charities. Patagonia is similar, but I believe founding-CEO-directed. As for Adobe — GFk'd! I'm still keeping CS4 alive, offline, on legacy hardware =D
- consumer451 3y agoYeah, it really seems like without the gravitas of being a founding CEO, or having some sort of mandate from the board, attempting to do "the right thing" seems impossible in nearly all corps. I just realized this, and this possibly tangential, but the board with the biggest mandate in modern history, OpenAI, just tried to do "the right thing." Those people/ideas are now gone, and yesterday OpenAI announced a partnership with Axel Springer, Germany's version of News Corp, a hyper-political entity. I have a hard time believing that this would have occurred under the previous regime.
