RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Banned againPoet also announced that chief scientist Dr. Taylor will be retiring from the company, effective April 30, 2016. Dr. Taylor noted that he made the decision to retire to focus on his recuperation from multiple surgeries.
"Over the past several months, I have been dealing with surgeries arising from complications with a knee replacement and therefore been unable to fulfill my duties as chief scientist at Poet Technologies," stated Dr. Taylor. "The company is now on the verge of successful growth under its new leadership, and I believe [it] is well positioned to produce critical prototypes necessary for Poet to be recognized as a leader in the data communications market. I have every confidence that this will be accomplished by the new management in place, and I am closely monitoring the progress as they move forward with their demonstrations."
The entire Poet team wishes Dr. Taylor a complete recovery and happy retirement.
"Geoff has the full support and gratitude of the board of directors, and we wish him a speedy recovery," said Poet chief executive officer, Suresh Venkatesan. "While we will miss Geoff's wise counsel, we expect to remain on plan in the execution of our lab-to-fab commercialization initiative to achieve market success for the technology developed and nurtured by Geoff over the past several years."
Geoff is in his early 70’s. POET shut down the lab at UCINN ahead of schedule relocated to San Jose and now all the work is being done in Singapore. The conspiracy theories here of why Geoff retired are just over the top. A desperate attempt at what I don’t know. You guys spend more time arguing about Agoracom than anything else here. And yet people here claim to be long term shareholders?
