GM Savians,
I did not end up going to Savi yesterday. I called first to announce my intentions and was happy to hear that the execs actually do read the Savi Board. They were aware that I intended on visiting yesterday. I spoke with a Senior Officer and was told that their new CEO, Greg Sweeney, requested that I call him early next week and set up an appointment for a meeting. Mr. Sweeney was out of the state for the balance of this week, and I was given his number. He was already told that he should be expecting a call from me, which, of course, I placed. When I called, Mr. Sweeney was on the line with his CFO and promised to call back.
Within 30 minutes, I received that call. I spoke with him for over 20 minutes but only about generalities of Savi, and more specifically what his strategies and directions are for Savi.
I am even more convinced now that Savi's direction is on course for a very exciting future. I am pleased with his openess, availability, and desire to bring this company through the research and development phase. More specifically, I am very impressed and excited upon hearing of his direction and importance of making sure things proceed in a defined and precise manner. Everything has to be ready and complete prior to the production announcements.
The Ca site is not being "electrified" meaning bringing juice to all the machinery that has been acquired. Since my visit, he stated two cranes have been added to facilitate the moving and placement of the equipment.
I will be setting up a meeting with Greg for the end of next week. Along with my appointment with him, he told me I would be receiving a personal tour of not only the warehouse, but also the lab facilities that are also currently being readied. I have not yet seen any of the lab or research areas.
I can not visit earlier than the end of the week, as I will be visiting Internal Hydro's (IHDR) facilities in Mobile, Alabama.
Take Care,
