HAVE WE MISSED ANY OTHER RECENT EXECUTIVE CHANGE? SEND THEM IN.
New CEO ... No Surprise !!!
Stuart Broadhurst, who was appointed interim-CEO when John Bongard resigned, was named CEO & Managing Director today ... not bad for a 43 year old !!!
F&P had said they would search internationally for Bongard's replacement ... apparently (this is my speculation) there were either no takers or only ones put up by Haier, so they stayed with the "Devil you Know" versus the "Devil you don't Know" ...
Good Luck, Mate ... you're gonna need it - and more !!!
Changes at B/S/H/
Is this correct John Iacoviello? or James Navinsky the VP of Sales and Marketing. His Linked in Site says he is the VP of B/S/H . Jim was former Directior for Sears and took the promotion after deciding to lay off all Sales reps for National Accounts..
Changes B/S/H/
Sometimes is not greener on the other side. Rummor is that the changes made by The VP of Sales of National Accounts with B/S/H/ Have led to huge decrease in Sales. October VP let go of all Sales reps in National Accounts and Hired a Third Party. The third party reps have been dropping like flies and Sales have Decresing ever since. 30% decrease in Laundry and huge Decreases in other Lines. I believe this is the 4th VP in 6 years in National Accounts. (Good Luck B/S/H Hopefully someday you will make better choices.)
The Only good thing he has done is hire a New Directior for Sears, Maybee he can move Sears in the right direction
