Mary Boyd lived in Switzerland. I talked with her at an ASM back when she was first hired. We obviously cannot tell if she accomplished anything during her tenure.

Here's a quote from a detailed ASM report from Brandon Cox back in 2007:

I was real impressed with Mary Boyd. She’s the kind of consummate professional that this company desperately needs. The company finally appears ready to put together a well staffed and qualified business development team. Speaking of which, I heard a story about Mary Boyd from a shareholder at the meeting. I have no idea whether it’s true or not but it sure feels true. When Mary Boyd was being interviewed for the job, she was the one doing the interviewing. The company was desperate to land her and nervous as hell she wouldn’t take the job. She was totally in control and got whatever she wanted. Good for her.
