L3Harris fires CEO over conduct; Mehta to lead the defense contractor

L3Harris Technologies ousted CEO Chris Kubasik after an independent probe found conduct not aligned with the company’s values and appointed Sam Mehta as President and CEO; shares fell more than 4%. The company said the departure was not tied to financials or operations, and Kubasik will forgo a 2026 bonus but keep about 384,000 stock options under a separation agreement. Semafor reported the investigation cited an inappropriate relationship with an employee. The move comes as a DoD investment in L3Harris’s missile business progresses and the related IPO is delayed; Kubasik previously faced ethics scrutiny at Lockheed Martin in 2012. Independent director Lewis Hay III was named independent chairman.

Garg mounts comeback bid to reclaim CEO role at Better.com

Vishal Garg, the Better Home & Finance (Better.com) CEO ousted in a board shakeup after the infamous Zoom layoff, is pressing to return to the top job. He argues the company’s AI-driven mortgage-processing turnaround, including partnerships with Neo Home Loans, Intuit, Coinbase and OpenAI, has prepared Better for profitability, and he claims he has enough Class B voting power to win the board vote. Garg says he’ll work for $1 a year during the transition, while investors have soured and the stock has fallen since his predecessor’s arrival. The company has seen revenue collapse since 2021 but is reportedly on pace for about $200 million in sales this year as AI efforts accelerate.
