Okarma "leaves" Geron (GERN)

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Geron-Appoints-David-bw-2487246898.html?x=0&.v=1

Effective immediately, David L. Greenwood, Geron’s chief financial officer, becomes president, interim chief executive officer and a member of the board of directors. Hoyoung Huh, M.D., Ph.D., a director of the company, becomes executive chairman. Alexander E. Barkas, Ph.D., chairman of the board, moves to the role of lead independent director. In conjunction with the implementation of the new leadership structure, Thomas B. Okarma, Ph.D., M.D., has left as Geron’s president and chief executive officer and director of the company. Dr. Okarma will remain with the company as a consultant.

Anyone listen to the CC and can share any additional details? Thus exits one of the least trustworthy CEOs in biotech.

Unless otherwise indicated, this is the personal viewpoint of David
Miller and not necessarily that of Biotech Stock Research, LLC.
