The Parthenon sat down with Brad Smith yesterday, and it appears that Brad confirmed that the latest contract extension will be his last.
We're still almost five years away, and it makes sense for him to head off into the sunset and enjoy his money.. just found this interesting.
Four and a half years from now, your presidency will be coming to an end, but you still obviously have plenty of time to get involved elsewhere. What’s next for Brad from Kenova?
BS: "I’ve learned that you think you have a plan, and then God has another plan for you. And so I would say to you that as far as I can see now, we will continue to be active philanthropists with our Wing 2 Wing Foundation, and a sister organization to the Wing 2 Wing Foundation is Wing 2 Wing Ventures, which we invest dollars in startups here in West Virginia. I will continue to serve on the two boards I serve on, which is Amazon and JPMorgan Chase. So, I’ll have the opportunity to continue to be a part of the tech sector, as well as financial services. And then hopefully I’m going to be, at that point, maybe, a pawpaw. My daughter and my son-in-law may end up having a baby, and I’m just going to be a pawpa and go to ballgames and enjoy life"
If I had to guess, he's probably going to stay local and be involved in some capacity.
