I pitched Del Monte 13 years agoโ€ฆand am not shocked they just filed for bankruptcy. | John Kovacevich I pitched Del Monte 13 years agoโ€ฆand am not shocked they just filed for bankruptcy.

Oof. Thatโ€™s terrible. Not sure Iโ€™ve ever seen a PE purchase be a net positive for a brand.

Hereโ€™s my story about Del Monte: www.linkedin.com/posts/johnko...

This is one of the things that fascinates me about Mamdaniโ€™s success. People want to paint him into one of these lanes, but his laser-focus on cost-of-living feels like the winning playbook.
