Where’s Waldo?

Post by biopearl123 » Sat Sep 14, 2024 5:37 pm

Talk about riding off into the sunset, the sudden departure of Anil is looking more like an emergency corporate excision to deal with a commercially related problem (or possibly something personal), than it looks like placement in anticipation of some partnership, merger, or acquisition as raised as a possibility by HI. The magnitude of the options offered to the new CCO suggests the importance of filling this position and fast with the type of high quality person we see, speaks of needing emergency surgery perhaps in a good way since we have only some nebulous comments regarding demand to go on. If there is a problem, pretty sure it will be dealt with expeditiously. Let’s hope it’s related to outsize demand.

Agree, No sign of Anil resurfacing with a new company yet. Perhaps he’s the one who rode off into the sunset…having exercised & sold all of his options prior to departure.

I was also reminded of the nice send-off Dr. Scarlett provided to Olivia Bloom… following her departure/retirement. Nothing of those sorts for Anil.

Jim Ziegler looks a solid candidate to steer the commercial operations.

Thanks, RC, Looks like he may have been lured away. Be interesting to see what options he was granted in his new position.

I don’t think he was lured away - this position is definitely a step down - he is on the board of directors and on three of their committees, but he does not have an executive position.

Good point, doesn't look like a full time salaried position with all the usual accoutrements.

He's been there for almost 2 years. He most definitely wasn't lured away. -Kmall

Thanks for the clarification. No further speculation on this one from me!
