I'm not sure how well Enrique Lores fits into the role at PayPal, to be honest. As a former CEO of HP, he's got some great credentials under his belt, but you gotta wonder if his experience in hardware is gonna translate too much to the digital payments space. It's like trying to use an iPhone to navigate your way through the enterprise sector - it just might not work out.
Plus, the whole "AgenTek Commerce" thing sounds like a fancy tech buzzword to me
. I'm all for innovation and pushing boundaries, but you gotta have some solid execution under your belt too. And from what I've seen, PayPal's got some tough competition in that space.
I do think it's great that David Dorman is giving Lores a vote of confidence, though
. At the end of the day, it's all about customer-centric innovation and driving growth. If Lores can deliver on those fronts, then I'm happy to see him succeed as CEO. But if he gets stuck in over-hyping his own company's capabilities... well, let's just say PayPal shares are gonna be feeling a bit of a pinch
.
I mean, I'm sure his experience with inkjet printers will translate well to making transactions happen on time. 
and 20% drop in shares just because? that's like saying, "Hey, we're not sure about this new CEO yet, so let's just sell our stocks"... sounds like a solid business strategy to me... 
this guy's gotta do some serious magic 
to turn those shares around, 20% down is crazy 
! And I'm not even gonna get into the whole "hardware executive in fintech" thing... it's like he's trying to fix a leaky faucet with a chainsaw 
. The AI era plan sounds cool and all 
, but can he really make Face ID and fingerprint auth work for 50% of users? That's a tall order 
!
