I had the pleasure of interviewing @AMC_Networks CEO Kristin Dolan ’88 for the 7th Massry Lecture at our Massry School of Business. We had a fascinating conversation about her journey from an @UAlbany English major to media executive. What an amazing and inspirational story! pic.twitter.com/quqWKWM6b6

Quotable
“We got 26,000 public comments, 25,000 of them were in support of the ban. And this was across the country, across sectors, across income levels because at the end of the day, what noncompetes do is they keep talent locked up. They prevent a more efficient matching between employer and employee. And so, getting rid of noncompetes will be good for workers, it will be good for the labor market, but it’s also going to be good for our economy. It’s going to allow a boost in new business formation, in new start-ups, and it’s going to mean that if somebody has a good idea, they’re able to bring that idea to market rather than being locked up.”
– FTC Chair Lina Khan on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” discussing the banning of noncompete clauses
