Harley-Davidson has had a rough year so far, but a bright spot just emerged. After releasing some less-than-stellar financial reports, along with being threatened by the current American administration's proposed tariffs—something that greatly affected the Motor Co. last time around—it found itself facing a board of directors coup last month.
But that's all over, as the coup has just utterly and spectacularly failed.
At the heart of the issue was Harley's CEO, Jochen Zeitz, announcing his retirement, which was set to take place at the end of the year. As you'd expect from a publicly traded company like Harley, the brand's board of directors quickly went to work looking for Zeitz's replacement, interviewing three candidates within weeks of him informing them of his decision.
