I don't think this hire can be looked at purely for her CV, which as someone pointed out is impressive.

She has clearly gotten to know the NWBO team over the years, her dad being one of the stories they have promoted.

IMO, this hire has a ton of implications that has more to do with psychology on both the side of LP and KP (KP deserves her name shortened now that she's a player lol) than it does with job fit.

Forget about what she can do for the company based on her resume, think about the psychological state of the parties - KP to take the job and LP to hire KP considering their history.

A CFA would be involved in trying to sell a follow-on offering to retail (and possibly qualified investors, a term that means little).

You make it sound as if its her job to cold call retail dentists and MD's to sell NWBO shares. A CFA is a highly qualified position taking years to get certified for(as you probably know).

The Chartered Financial Analyst (C.F.A.) program is a postgraduate professional certification offered internationally by the American-based CFA Institute (formerly the Association for Investment Management and Research, or AIMR) to investment and financial professionals. It has the highest level of global legal and regulatory recognition of finance-related qualifications. The program teaches a considerably wide range of subjects relating to advanced investment analysis, security analysis, statistics, probability theory, fixed income, derivatives, economics, financial analysis, corporate finance, alternative investments, and portfolio management, and provides a generalist knowledge of other areas of finance.

And why could she not be involved in managing a merger with and or acquiring of NWBO? What exactly makes a CFA not qualified in doing so especially with her CV?

NWBO acquired a new Nespesso machine perhaps you want to take a hit at that as well? Let me help you this means that they will start working during the nite to sell shares in Europe...?

I hold the CFA charter and think you have that backwards.

In the investment firms where I worked, I never encountered a CFA in a sales position.

Analyzing merger/partnership terms definitely is an area where a CFA background could help.
