Fill in the blank on this analogy- Chipotle replaces its CEO with Taco Bell CEO is to Shire replaces

Fill in the blank on this analogy with your best idea:

Chipotle Replaces its CEO with Taco Bell’s CEO Brian Niccol.
Shire replaces its CEO with __________________________.

 

David Pyott
Deb Dunshire

 

Weightlifting champion: Lester Green

 

Vermont Dunkin Donut owner: Mark Shaw Jr.

 

Black/white cookie bakery owner: Gary Delabate

 

In other words, who is the Taco Bell of Shire’s competitors? Which pharma company sells Taco Bell-quality products in comparison to Shire? It is the CEO of that company you need to fill in the blank with.

 

Any one of them will do over our CEO, thank you.

 

Kent Thiry, CEO of Davita!

Kent once compared Davita to a Taco Bell!
Read about it & watch the John Oliver episode here: https://qz.com/983716/john-oliver-rips-into-fresenius-fms-and-davita-dva-whose-ceo-proudly-compared-kidney-dialysis-to-taco-bell-yum/

“If it's beginning to feel like DaVita is being run like a volume business …” Oliver started, before cutting to a clip that showed Thiry comparing his management of DaVita to that of Taco Bell.

Oliver closed with a tongue-in-cheek “commercial” for Taco Bell.
“Because we're nothing like dialysis clinics,” the commercial declared. “For a start, you may actually be more likely to find a doctor in one of our restaurants than in a dialysis clinic.”

 

Chipotle shares are surging by 14% today since the announcement of the new Taco Bell CEO. CNBC headline is: Burrittos Gone Wild!
So if we are the Chipotle of our industry and we replace Flemming with the industy’s Taco Bell CEO, what would our headline be for the resulting stock surge?

————- Gone Wild!

 

As a major negative in the company, simply the absence of Flemming would be a plus. We could fill the CEO role with a Barbie doll and do better plus hit our diversity targets.

 

Valeant

Wouldn’t be much worse afterall Flem has stripped Shire of everything - benefits, bonuses, manufacturing, headcount and we’re still underwater. #notceomaterial

 

Rex Tillerson

He is available since he was fired today by tweet.
And he has lots of experience dealing with crap!
Shire board — make Rex an offer!

 

Jamie Dimon, CEO from JP Morgan Chase.

Ok, maybe doesn't fit the Taco Bell- Chipotle analogy that well. Plus he is from a different industry. But at least he's an honest, down to earth and respected man with great ideas.

Roseanne Barr. She is now in her 60s, her new show coming back from the dead, and she is just as crass as ever.
