Vikram Pandit And Citigroup Not Yet On Same Page Re: Who Dumped Whom
Point: "This was decided yesterday afternoon. I made the decision. I talked to [Citigroup Chairman] Mr. O'Neill. I don't believe in having lame-duck sessions, in having the outgoing CEO looking over the shoulder of the incoming CEO." Counterpoint: "Citigroup directors ousted Chief Executive Officer Vikram Pandit after concluding that he had mismanaged operations, leading to setbacks with regulators and a loss of credibility with investors, a person with knowledge of the discussions said."
