Bloomberg recently published an article featuring Kabrina Chang, Clinical Associate Professor of Markets, Public Policy, and Law, discussing the career uncertainty of John R. Tyson, CFO of Tyson Foods.
Tyson was suspended from his role as Chief Financial Officer of Tyson Foods after his recent drunk driving arrest. This comes less than two years after a previous charge for public intoxication, where he was able to keep his position as he was backed by Tyson Foods Inc.’s board and his family.
“I don’t think it sends a very constructive or helpful message to the rest of the employees that a family member who’s also the CFO has two of these arrests and still has his job. It could really hurt productivity and for sure negatively impact the culture of the company,” Kabrina Chang adds.
Despite Tyson’s rapid rise within the company, his recent legal troubles have cast doubt on his ability to continue in a senior executive role.
