RE: management changeI'm divided between the two extremes: the rats are leaving the sinking ship, or a weak link was fired.
"Robert Theriault, Senior Vice President, Engineering and Operations, is leaving WesternZagros effective July 16
th, 2010, in order to pursue another career opportunity.
"On behalf of WesternZagros, I would like to thank Rob for his contributions to the company, and wish him all the best for the future," said Simon Hatfield, Chief Executive Officer.
Ian McIntosh, Vice President, Kurdistan Business Unit will take over Mr. Theriault's responsibilities on an interim basis. "
I'm not familiar enough with business english when it comes to such things. Maybe someone can interpret it? Is that sounding like he left because of pressure, or that he left on his own initiative?
And what is also not clear for me: was Theriault responsible for Engineering and Ops, or was he only the vice pres. of Eng. & Op?
