He's overseen some fantastic growth and performance for the company. Stepping down, effective January. Will remain in as Executive Chairman. New CEO coming in. And John Donahoe, with a lot of focus on the digital side of the business.

MIKE SANTOLI: For sure. And that's probably one way that John Donahoe's kind of background links up with what they're looking at. He's definitely known as a very good operator, manager. He got great marks for his work.
