As of recent disclosures, Laurent Therivel has significant stock holdings in United States Cellular. His stock granted includes 114,570 RSUs, reflecting a strong alignment with the company’s future. In 2022, the value of his vested stock, primarily compensation for performance, indicated commitment but showed no immediate cash-out, keeping his focus on long-term company growth. Therivel has navigated market fluctuations where his wealth has been tied closely to company stocks. While his stock value wasn't confirmed vested in earlier years, current strategies suggest a belief in steady growth and shareholder value. He has experienced the ups and downs of the telecom industry but remains invested in US Cellular's vision and future expansion.
