The board appointed an interim chair to oversee vague momentum Saturday after quarterly updates contained repeated references to traction, one unlabeled arrow in a slide deck, and executives gathering near the elevators after the meeting.
The interim chair will supervise movement that lacks a destination but has demonstrated executive confidence.
"Momentum is too important to leave unsupervised simply because no one can say what it is doing," said Sella Voss, lead independent director. "This role gives vagueness a chair, a calendar invite, and someone to ask for updates."
How It Works
All departments must file weekly momentum sightings, including speed, tone, and whether the sensation seemed billable.
Public Response
Analysts welcomed the appointment, noting that companies often underinvest in the period after someone says momentum but before anyone names a destination.
What Happens Next
The board expects to name a permanent chair once the momentum either arrives somewhere or begins requesting equity.
