I've known companies that have taken months to years before hiring a CEO. Unless the CEO is well known, I don't suspect that bit of news is going to change much of anything.
Pretend they've found one: John Smith who has been in Pharma for 30 years and he releases a statement saying he's excited to be a part of the team, and is looking forward to influencing the direction of the company.
Ok, now what?
