Let the fur fly! Joe is in some hot water.
Farewell soon…to healthcare’s most prolific hypocrite—Joseph E. Kiani.

BUSINESS WIRE

NEW YORK--On Monday, ISS wrote that Masimo, “has a corporate governance track record that is firmly among the most troubling of any modern public company,” and that CEO and Chairman Joe Kiani, “has demonstrated that he has no regard for public shareholders.

Vanguard assessment (Masimo) - Dec 2023
“In reviewing Masimo’s corporate governance profile and practices, we found that Masimo appeared to have demonstrated poor corporate governance practices over the course of several years. The company previously adopted several measures that, in our assessment, served to entrench the current board and management team. Our engagement with the company directors, leaders and executives, and dissident, as well as our analysis of the company’s corporate governance practices, led us to conclude that the Masimo board’s governance practices and oversight were lacking. The board members have not demonstrate sufficient effective independence from management and to clearly articulate the board’s role in overseeing company strategy and material risks.”

The Vote is In, Politan Wins the Proxy War; Both Its Nominees are Elected to the Masimo Board

SEPTEMBER 19, 2024
“Instead of Considering Investors’ Feelings, Kiani Felt They Should Just Trust His Genius. It was Kiani’s lack of consideration for investors’ feelings on this issue that served to sow the seeds of discontent that grew into Koffey’s opportunity and ultimately led to this outcome. When you are a public company, you have a fiduciary duty to do all you can to increase shareholder value. However it appeared that Kiani felt that Masimo was his company and investors should just trust his genius to create future success. The more he talked about himself, the more investor gravitated towards Koffey and Politan.
At the end of the day, investors gave Kiani two years to show progress with his plan for Sound United and got tired of waiting for it to happen.”

So poetic…. Joe’s departing role at Masimo won’t be as the admired CEO he fancied himself to be, but rather the disgraced con artist he proved to be…and so now getting plucked out of there by his pubes.
