Who Should Run Citigroup?
Deal Journal says Joe Torre, in an attempt to illustrate the fact that there’s no natural candidate for the job of running a company that “has proven itself so complex as to be ungovernable." Okay, but Torre actually already has a new gig with the Dodgers, so he’s unavailable. But we like the idea of coming up with someone for Citi CEO who’s so completely inappropriate for the position, whose nomination is so totally insane that it might actually work. The only one we’ve got so far is Hitler, which right off the bat would be fun because the C board is really into grave digging. Additionally, that place could benefit from a little Weekend at Bernie’s humor. Finally, it’s common knowledge that when you have (the corpse of) a genocidal maniac in charge, other banks know not to fuck with you. Surely you can do better (though I think ours should at least be considered). The best submission will get the job.
