So what’s up with this Kennard guy?

He was “just named Chairman of ATT 7 minutes ago”, according to comment of that Twitter thread link.

Kennard-Chairman of the Board of AT&T

NOTE: Service in public sector largely during Clinton and Obama years. Also tied in with Carlyle group-Bushies.

He served as general counsel to the Federal Communications Commissions beginning in 1993. In 1997, he became its chairman, holding the position until 2001. He was later named U.S. Ambassador to the European Union, serving from 2009 to 2013.

In the private sphere, he worked at asset management company The Carlyle Group, assisting the company with tech and telecom investments. He was a partner at the law firm now known as DLA Piper and also served on its board of directors.

Looks like it’s been in the works for a while. Old guy retiring was announced a while back.
