Leadership

SI estimate

9.4/10

What are the people in charge doing?

SI estimate 9.4/10, confidence 35 of 100 (one part).

weight 22% of this tense · 94th percentile among 9 sector filers · read for its shareholders

SI estimate Inferred, not read as filed

Why it is an estimate: Read from one part only, officer and director changes on Form 8-K over three years, against the people in charge, which ranks in the top 6% of 9 in its family; the record of its people begins on 2026-03-18 (a listing, a merger or a first filing under the rules) and its chief executive and most of the people in charge have filed since then, so the record shows a floor of 8 months and cannot see past it; a floor under five years is not read as years in charge.
What the record cannot read: The record of its people begins on 2026-03-18 (a listing, a merger or a first filing under the rules) and its chief executive and most of the people in charge have filed since then, so the record shows a floor of 8 months and cannot see past it; a floor under five years is not read as years in charge.
How it was reasoned: one part: officer and director changes on Form 8-K, against the people in charge, the one part on file, ranked among 9 in its family.
Confidence: 35 of 100
What would change it: A filing that carries the missing parts replaces this estimate with the filed reading.

From the record

SI estimate, not a filed reading: Dole plc's leadership is put at 9.4 of 10 with a confidence of 35 of 100, because read from one part only, officer and director changes on Form 8-K over three years, against the people in charge, which ranks in the top 6% of 9 in its family; the record of its people begins on 2026-03-18 (a listing, a merger or a first filing under the rules) and its chief executive and most of the people in charge have filed since then, so the record shows a floor of 8 months and cannot see past it; a floor under five years is not read as years in charge. A filing that carries the missing parts replaces this estimate with the filed reading.
