From the record

The Gap, Inc.'s leadership, from its insiders' filings and its current reports: no one files under a chief executive's title, so that part is not read; the 20 officers and directors filing in the last fifteen months have been on the record a median of 4.8 years (bottom 25%); 6 officer or director changes were reported on Form 8-K since 2023-11-13, against the 20 people in charge now (top 25%; fewer changes for each person reads higher) (the Form 4 record, its Form 8-K reports). Years count from a person's first filing in the SEC's data sets, which begin in 2006, so each is a floor.
