Kranich Robin B., Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer at Gartner (IT), has filed 36 Form 4 transactions with the SEC, all in the company's stock. The pattern is overwhelmingly one of compensation-driven activity rather than discretionary trading. Across all filings, there are no open-market purchases (code P) and no open-market sales (code S), and the total value of shares acquired through all means stands at $34,585.84. The bulk of the activity consists of option exercises (code M, valued at $0), shares withheld to cover tax obligations (code F), and equity grants or awards (code A) — all mechanical or compensatory in nature.
The most recent filings, clustered around February 2026, illustrate this dynamic. On February 9, 2026, Kranich exercised options and had shares withheld for taxes in two separate transactions valued at $80,354.25 and $97,287.75. Similar tax-withholding events occurred on February 8 ($74,725.74) and February 6 ($57,060.45), each paired with option exercises. These were preceded by equity awards on February 5, 2026. The pattern repeats annually: in February 2025, Kranich had shares withheld to cover taxes in four transactions totaling roughly $2.15 million, again paired with option exercises and followed by equity grants on February 6, 2025.
Quarterly filings coded "J" — a non-market adjustment — show consistent small-value additions of approximately $5,700 to $5,855 on dates like May 29, 2026, February 27, 2026, and November 28, 2025. These likely represent dividend equivalents or similar accruals on restricted stock. The absence of any open-market buying or selling, combined with the regular exercise-and-withhold cadence tied to vesting schedules, indicates that Kranich's Form 4 history reflects standard executive compensation mechanics rather than a directional bet on Gartner's stock.
