I'm already not a fan of the new CEO. Focusing on low cal soda is a waste of time. It probably means Kombucha and bag-in-a-box are dead. The company also tried to sell him as a high growth brand developer, but it looks like his resume has been scrubbed to remove 400% growth at Boylan Bottling and Detour bar. It has been replaced with failed stints at International Harvest (owned by Vince from Entourage) and a KFC franchisor in Ukraine (that was probably expropriated (my opinion)). I don't think owning KFC franchises makes one a "global brand developer" like the 7/5 press release claims.
I'm going to say something I thought I would never say. I want ponytail back (NJM's nickname). At least he cared. The activists really effed this company and if it can't hit this quarter and next, capital is going to dry up.
