Ann: Appointment of Peter Griffiths as CEO, page-2

Very interesting.

Peter Griffith's background seems to be software, services and consultancy.  I have doubts about how this fits with our company.  We are now commercialising a manufacturing and supply of operation.  I don't see anything in our new CEO's CV that relates to supply chain logistics at any scale, and certainly not at a global level.

I'm also deeply intrigued at what the story might be behind Mr Wolfgan Storf's sudden and complete departure.  Normally with something like this you get some kind of phased hand-over.  Mr Storf might hand over the CEO's job and become Research Director or similar.  But no... he's completely removed from all management responsibility in one sudden chop.

I have difficulty seeing this as a positive development.
