Requested edits

[edit]

Hello Wikipedia Community,

Since this page is of "low importance" according to WikiProject United States and WikiProject Biography and therefore doesn't receive much attention, I took it upon myself to lead the effort to revise the page. I:

  • Updated outdated information
  • Removed excessive links
  • Added useful crosslinks
  • Removed irrelevant biographical information to conform with Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons
  • Removed detail about Debra Cafaro's company, Ventas, which should be moved to the Ventas, Inc page

However, I have a conflict of interest and cannot ethically make edits myself. Therefore, I kindly request that another user replace the content on the page with the content below.

Here is my full rewrite (I did not make any changes to the infobox at the top or the categories at the bottom, so I did not include those sections here):

Debra A. Cafaro is an American business executive, who is Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Ventas, Inc.[1], an S&P 500 healthcare real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns approximately 1,200 healthcare properties located through the U.S., Canada and the UK. [2] Cafaro joined Ventas in 1999 as CEO and President when the company’s market cap was about $200 million and was in dire financial shape. She has been widely credited with the Company’s turnaround and its subsequent success to a market capitalization of $28 billion in 2019.[3][4]

Under Cafaro’s leadership, Ventas was named the most successful financial publicly traded company for the first decade of the new century and in 2018[5][6] was voted as one of the world’s most admired real estate companies by Fortune magazine. Ventas is well-regarded for sustaining long-term performance.[7][8] The Company's compound annual total shareholder return (TSR) has exceeded 20 percent since January 1, 2000.[9]

Cafaro has been named as one of the most powerful women in the world by Forbes,[10] has been listed as one of the best performing CEOs in the world for six years by the Harvard Business Review, until the list was discontinued in 2020, [11] and has been recognized as one of the most influential people in healthcare by Modern Healthcare six times.

Cafaro's initial actions at Ventas were to restructure the bank debt, lead a global consensual restructuring of its main tenant Vencor so it could emerge from bankruptcy (renamed Kindred Healthcare, Inc. [2]

Updates on Edits

[edit]

Cglife.bmarcus Hi there. I made the first round of edits to the first section. I would appreciate if you could proof to make sure I got it accurate. I read twice myself but you know what they say about being too close to the trees. I do need to report that Ref 3 content can't be found: https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/VTR/ventas/mark. If you could please double check this link and I will make any corrections. Thank you Tchula65 (talk) 21:54, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tchula65 Thank you so much for getting this started! The first section looks great -- I only made two minor edits to fix typos. The link you referenced is live; the reason it did not work for you is because it was truncated by accident. Here is the full link: https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/VTR/ventas/market-cap. Thanks! Cglife.bmarcus (talk) 13:09, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Cglife.bmarcus The edits for 'Personal Life' are complete and ready for your review. Should there be hyperlinks to 'Pittsburgh Penguins' and 'Stanley Cup' wikipedia pages? No worries if 'no'. Thanks Tchula65 (talk) 20:14, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
