I’m here to kind of move that path forward. And then when Mark is confirmed in his role, he can kind of come in and just continue down the path.”
The capital needed is “probably somewhere, based upon their business models today, [in the range of] $150 billion to $200 billion,” he said.

And I think that’s going to take some really heavy lifting and thought processes around that.”
