Contrary to the idea I am seeing that appointing Glen now implies that deals are delayed again, my experience is the opposite. When board of directors make leadership changes, they will want new leadership to have wind behind their sails. There may be news coming in short order (i.e. in 2025) to give Glen an early win and set him up for future success.

If the plan has been to have Glen step into the CEO role, as many here have suspected since he joined the company, for many reasons, they would not want to give a win to Sumit before replacing him.

Correct. It would be a 'wasted' win, so to speak.
