"What if we get a new CEO in if let’s say theoretically that it came out that he had dementia or some ulterior self-destructive motive.
New CEO (Ed or Keith) steps in and rings those guys up saying “sorry about the old guy, he has good days and bad ... now let’s get down to business and make some money together while doing good at the same time.”
Who says theoretically? Everything points to the elevator stopping one short of the penthouse and that's where the money is!
Who is Ed? Do you mean Dr. Richard Staelin, Business School Professor at Duke University, expert on FDA regulatory processes, former Chairman of BIEL, who resigned from the BoD at about the same time as Mary Whelan, Andrew Whelan's astute and highly business experienced and competent sister? You can Google Dr. Staelin's Bio. I did, it's amazing.
Keith, I assume, is Keith Nalepka who is BP Sales and has done a great job, according to his interviews and results, a professional sales guy who can get it done.
As to your spot on question, What if? Oh, I dunno, there is an immediate end to the cantankerous, defiant management style, motivated employees, an expanded BoD, an immediate upsurge in share price, probably an immediate canvass of existing shareholders to determine reinvestment interest in a potential winner, immediate attention to dealing with management issues in a professional manner, immediate repair of a jaundiced FDA relationship because maybe the FDA is just picced.....how does that sound for starters? My opinion is that a lot of this is people skills related!
