exechange is the independent research provider that tracks executive changes and determines the Push-out Score™.
The problem: CEOs are rarely openly fired. They may resign “voluntarily” before being ousted and “jump before they are pushed.”
The solution: The Push-out Score on a scale of 0 to 10 gauges the likelihood that a CEO was pushed out or felt pressure to leave.
exechange analyzes public sources, among them news releases and SEC filings, striving to provide the most current, accurate and complete coverage possible. We work with a focus on facts, figures and form. Without fear or favor. Firm and fair.
