“Welcome back. Dan Schulman. He was at PayPal and look I think that near the end it was a struggle. But there have been many, many years that Dan’s been great. I can’t wait to see him again. Dan is a guy who is a humanist. I mean he’s a CEO who cares about the people who work for him. And I can’t wait to hear what his vision his. Because I think Verizon’s been an underperformer and I don’t think Dan’s going to stand for that.”
