Mt comments have had over 100 reads each on Mike Cowie's exit....anyone else care to contribute a reaction to this,,,,surely we have others who have an opinion ....to me it just plain smells bad...I found this release on Harte website hours before it hit my email inbox LATE ON A FRIDAY NIGHT
Sorry Justrelax, was out of town, I have an opinion to share. I do not believe, for one second, Mr Cowie made up his mind to retire the day after the AGM. Nor, do I believe he made up his mind, to retire, as a result of anything to do with the AGM or it’s outcome. Here is his bio on the Harte home page...
Michael Cowie, HBA Mr. Cowie is a founding partner and director of Cowie Capital Partners, a private real estate company with planned development projects in excess of $1 billion. Mr. Cowie is also currently Executive Vice President, Colliers International, a global commercial real estate services company. Mr. Cowie has significant permitting and government relations experience. Mr. Cowie holds an HBA from Western University’s Richard Ivey School of Business. My guess is, he was brought in to use his experience and expertise to aid in permitting and financing and business (which he accomplished) and life is calling elsewhere!! Had he left before the AGM, can you imagine how his exit would have been dragged through the mud!! Especially by our new group of special posters?? Would you not want to retire after an overwhelming vote of confidence in the election? Knowing you accomplished the very task you were brought in for?
Think I would.
Harte now has a clear path to profitability come year end, thanks in part but Mr Cowie:-)
Anyway, my 2 cents, for what it’s worth
All the Best, Justrelax
And, once again, I thank you for all the work you do on this board, Appreciated:-)
