Anyone think it was strange that WF was announced as BWI WW Prez then resigned from JNJ three weeks later? Looks like he took COO at a vision med device company. What happened??!!

Likely just a timing issue. It is interesting though that He's going to be reporting to long time JNJer, Tom Frinzi, who I believe Foust replaced @ JNJ in December, 2019. It seemed like Foust was being groomed for a much bigger role @ JNJ. Maybe he was tired of waiting for the really huge money and decided to do better outside JNJ.

Easy there, the BWI culture is just fine. WW president BWI is big opportunity for anyone lucky enough to take that role. Foust might regret leaving a $4B franchise for a $250M meh vision company. Just saying…
Perhaps, but why ? Almost from day 1 of the Synthes acquisition (Foust came from Synthes) he was treated as a future JNJ leader, showered with money and praise.
