88 American business leaders wrote to support Harris, including Ripple CEO, Coinbase, Facebook co-founder, etc.
ChainCatcher news, according to CNBC, 88 current and former executives from the American business community support US Vice President Kamala Harris for the country's president. The signatories include well-known CEOs of several listed companies, including Aaron Levie of Box, Jeremy Stoppelman of Yelp, and Michael Lynton, chairman of Snap.
Some signatories appear to be publicly supporting Harris for the first time since she became the de facto Democratic candidate in July. Among them are James Murdoch, former CEO of 21st Century Fox and media heir of the Murdoch family, and Chris Larsen, a cryptocurrency executive and co-founder of the Ripple blockchain platform.
More than a dozen of the signatories made their fortunes on Wall Street, including Tony James, former president and COO of Blackstone Group and founder of Jefferson River Capital, and Bruce Heyman, former managing director of Goldman Sachs Private Wealth Management.
However, of all the signatories, the vast majority of the 88 people who endorsed Harris are former CEOs of large public companies, including former PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi, Paramount Pictures’ Barry Diller, Merck’s Ken Frazier, Lyft’s Logan Green, GoDaddy’s Blake Irving, Starbucks’ Laxman Narasimhan, and PayPal’s Dan Schulman
