Why should we not vote for Handley?
Good question, people just get on the bandwagon and slag the guy because of what other people say based on their views of his motives to advertise his personal brand and particularly his business failures. I bet few if any have information about his contribution to the Sky board. But it won’t stop the slagging. Dyor
1. Share price. Think all board members need a grilling on this front too.
2. Legacy board member. Been there too long. Time to give someone else a shot. Other qualified people out there.
3. Not good for the transformation narrative, or for Martin. Other legacy board members should be put under the microscope too.
4. Generally unliked. Does Sky need to be associated with him?
5. Lacks good judgement. Yes, look at the way he promotes himself.
6. Not much skin in the game 17,584 SKT shares valued at around NZ$2,600
7. I'm a shareholder and have a right to vote against his re-election.
The list goes on. But happy for you to convince me otherwise if you can.
This appears to be a token role and fair enough he's not compensated a great deal but what's he going to add that he hasn't added already apart from perhaps an updated press release on how great he is?

His suitability for the role of CTO, then, rests largely on his business CV, which is where a lot of the complaints seem to come from. "I don't think Derek Handley's success is at all attributable to a talent in tech," said Ben Gracewood, head of engineering at Vend.
"Handley would be a surprising, perhaps polarising choice," said Lance Wiggs, a tech investor and founder of the Punakaiki Fund. "His background does not show the sorts of experiences that would impress the IT industry, as it seems focused on branding and marketing rather than building reliable sustainable enterprise systems.
His selection could create controversy from investors in companies he has founded that subsequently floundered or failed. He's founded two ad agencies – he's not a technologist as far as I can tell."

Hahaha.loving the enthusiasm ogg!
If it wasn't for Ogg's enthusiasm/predictions and mistaTea's commitment, i would have said goodbye to Skt a long time ago.
Am glad to have stayed with SKT. They are now heading in the right direction and hopefully this truly reflects on the stock price :)
