Semafor

🟡 Introducing The CEO Signal — a new show from Semafor, hosted by Penny Pritzker, former U.S. Secretary of Commerce, and @Edgecliffe, Semafor’s CEO Editor. Building on the CEO Signal newsletter, the briefing read by leading chief executives worldwide, the show brings that perspective into candid conversations with global CEOs — focused on the moments of judgment that define leadership: how they interpret the forces shaping their industries, weigh difficult choices, and make decisions when the stakes are high. The first episode features Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol, on leading one of the most closely watched turnarounds in business today. Watch now: youtube.com/watch?v=N8Majs…
