Elliott launches ‘Stronger Southwest’ podcast

Elliott Investment Management L.P., which manages funds that together have an investment representing an approximately 11% economic interest in Southwest Airlines, announced the launch of Stronger Southwest, a new podcast series that will feature 1:1 conversations with Elliott’s highly qualified director nominees. Episodes can be accessed on StrongerSouthwest.com, and are available on Apple, Spotify and everywhere podcasts are heard. You can not only listen to the conversations on all major podcast feeds, but also can watch the episodes on YouTube. Yesterday, Elliott called for a December 10 special meeting of shareholders, seeking the election of eight best-in-class nominees to serve on Southwest’s Board. Today’s launch of an innovative new podcast series will offer shareholders an opportunity to learn more about these uniquely qualified nominees. The first episode features Nominee Gregg Saretsky, who has significant leadership and industry experience stemming from his nearly 40-year career in aviation. Mr. Saretsky discusses his early years in the industry, “where the aviation fuel got in (his) blood,” as well as lessons learned from his time as CEO of WestJet – among other roles – and the high-value potential he believes can be delivered at Southwest,.
