The company adopted a poison pill plan to fend off share-based takeovers, and rumors began circulating about potential M&A.<br /><br />Since then, Hologic has made key organizational changes intended to set itself back on track track: In December 2013, the company threw out Jack Cumming as CEO and replaced him with MacMillan. Hologic also added two top-level executives from Icahn Capital, a subsidiary of Icahn Enterprises. The changes in management were intended to increase the company\'s \"shareholder value,\" Hologic said in an earlier statement.<br /><br />While future M&A plans remain unclear, the company continues to revamp its identity. After absorbing diagnostics rival Gen-Probe in a $3.8 billion buyout in 2012, profits dipped and Hologic began to rethink strategy. New management changes could be just what the company needs to increase revenue--and attract the eye of potential investors.','','','',2,3,'http://www.fiercemedicaldevices.com/story/hologic-adds-coo-loses-cfo-c-level-shakeup/2014-03-14','','mirania',4,'Glenn-Muir-Hologic-Chief-Financial-Officer-Retired',0,'2014-04-25',0),(11986,17835,20956,'Chief Financial Officer','Maurine Findley has been appointed as Chief Financial Officer at Sibling Group.','2014-03-14','2014-03-14','ATLANTA, GA  -- 03/14/14 -- Sibling Group Holdings, Inc.

This conclusion is based upon preliminary findings of an ongoing internal review into practices and procedures by management, conducted at the Audit Committee\'s request by outside professional advisors and after consultation with management and the Company\'s independent auditors. Revenue on these transactions was recognized when products were shipped to a distributor but should have been recognized when the distributor shipped the product to the customer. As a result, revenue on these transactions will be reversed and recognized in the period when the products were shipped by the distributor.<br /><br />The correction of the Company\'s revenue recognition methodology will be applied retroactively, which the Company currently expects will require the restatement of its financial statements for each of the first, second and third quarters of 2013 and 2012 and for the years ending 2012 and 2011. Accordingly, the Audit Committee has determined that the Company\'s financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and the quarters ended March 31st, June 30th, and September 30th in 2013 and 2012 included in the Company\'s Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for such periods and together with all three, six and nine month financial information contained therein, should no longer be relied upon. Therefore, all earnings press releases and similar prior communications issued by the Company as well as other prior statements made by or on behalf of the Company relating to those periods should not be relied upon. In addition, as a result of this correction and associated ongoing internal review and its expected impact on the Company\'s fourth quarter 2013 financial statements, the Company is withdrawing all prior financial guidance for fourth quarter 2013.<br /><br />The Company does not anticipate that the restatement will cause any changes to the previously reported cash and debt balances as of the end of each of the periods being restated. Based on preliminary unaudited results, the Company currently estimates that its balance of cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2013 was approximately $153.6 million.<br /><br />The Company expects that the primary impact of the correction of prior revenue recognition errors will be to recognize revenue on certain transactions in the periods in which the distributor ships the products to the end customer rather than the periods in which the products are shipped to distributors. This correction is not expected to impact revenue generated from the Company\'s non-distributor customers. The Company\'s internal review including a review of the practices and procedures that led to the errors, preparation of fourth quarter and full year 2013 financial statements and restatement of prior periods are not yet concluded, and the actual impact of the revenue recognition corrections and other matters that may arise from the ongoing internal review on the Company\'s prior and future financial results may vary materially.<br /><br />As a result of the preliminary findings of the ongoing internal review and restatement, management is continuing to assess the Company\'s disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting. Nevertheless, management has concluded that one or more material weaknesses exist in the Company\'s internal controls over financial reporting and that, as a result, internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. As part of the ongoing internal review and restatement, new Chief Accounting Officer Jonathan W. Kim will work with the Company\'s outside professionals to review and make those changes to the control environment necessary to improve the procedures related to revenue recognition under US GAAP.<br /><br />As a result of the ongoing internal review and information known to date, the Company does not expect that it will be in a position to complete the restatement and preparation of its fourth quarter and full year 2013 financial statements and audit and file its Annual Report on Form 10-K before its due date of March 17, 2014. Accordingly, the Company expects to file a Form 12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission and currently does not expect that the restatement and Form 10-K will be completed and filed within the 15-day extension period.<br /><br />The Company also announced today that it has appointed Jonathan W. Kim as Senior Vice President, Chief Accounting Officer and principal accounting officer of the Company, effective immediately, and expects that Mr. Kim will assist in the financial statement restatement, accounting policy change and evaluation of internal controls associated with the Audit Committee\'s internal review. As a result of Mr. Kim\'s appointment, Margaret Sakai, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, will no longer serve as the Company\'s principal accounting officer.<br /><br />Mr. Kim brings more than 15 years of experience in corporate accounting, finance, financial reporting and internal control and financial statements audits serving numerous privately-held and US publicly traded companies, including foreign private issuers located in South Korea. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Kim served since July 2010 as the Chief Financial Officer of Startforce, Inc., a VC backed desktop virtualization company, which was acquired in February 2011 by Zero Desktop, Inc., a Silicon Valley based global provider of next generation cloud operating system, cloud service brokerage and Android platform extender solutions for telecoms, service providers, OEMs and ISVs, where Mr. Kim continued to serve as the Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Kim also served since September 2009 as the Chief Financial Officer and Principal of Booga Ventures, a Silicon Valley based private investment and advisory firm. Prior to that time, from January 2000 to September 2009, Mr. Kim served as an Audit Senior Manager with Deloitte & Touche in San Jose, California and Deloitte Anjin in Seoul, South Korea.<br /><br />About MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation<br />Headquartered in South Korea, MagnaChip is a Korea-based designer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products for high-volume consumer applications.

She retired last month, earlier than planned, due to health reasons. But after not working the last day and a half of her career due to inclement weather followed by taking off for a pleasant vacation in Florida, Oliver says that her retirement feels surreal.<br /><br />“I didn’t work the last day and a half because of the weather and I had planned on saying goodbye to everyone,” she said over the phone from Florida. “It feels like I’m on vacation. Maybe it won’t feel that way when I get home. But that’s the way retirement should be.”<br /><br />Oliver began her career in the court services office in Waseca County back in June of 1985. It was only supposed to be a one-month stint that instead turned into 28 years.<br /><br />“There was a pregnant gal in the auditor’s office,” Oliver said. “She was going on maternity leave and they needed someone while she was gone. So I started in the auditor’s office in September.”<br /><br />Not too long after that, the new mother had decided not to return to her position and Oliver was hired on full-time. The rest is history.<br /><br />In 2010, Oliver was then working as treasurer for Waseca County. The auditor retired that year and the county decided to combine the auditor and treasurer position into one. Oliver was encouraged to run and she got it.<br /><br />“I worked in the auditor’s office for 13 years, so it was the perfect fit,” she said. “It was a challenge I looked forward too. I’ve always enjoyed my job.”<br /><br />Oliver had originally planned on running for re-election this year, but due to health reasons decided against it. For her, it was time to retire … and relax.<br /><br />“We are moving to the lake,” Oliver said. “We bought a lake home on Lake Tetonka in Waterville. It’s been a dream of ours. I just want to be a grandma. I am going to play lots of bridge, fish and babysit. That’s my goal.”<br /><br />Tammy Wynkoop, who has worked with Oliver in the Auditor/Treasurer’s office for the past nine years, is taking her place.<br /><br />“She has helped me every step of the way,” Wynkoop said. “She has been teaching me things every day.

The decision was met with disapproval from several township residents at a special meeting Friday evening, March 21 at the Blackman Township Hall. <br /><br />“I’ve never seen such as a circus that I’ve seen tonight by (trustees) Bettie Brockie, Paula Clingerman and (Mark) Singer,” said resident Suellen Thomas, who received applause from the crowd. “No conscience whatsoever.”<br /><br />Trustees Brockie, Clingerman and Singer voted no on accepting Sherry Brockie\'s resignation, while Supervisor Peter Jancek and Clerk David Sercombe voted yes. Sherrie Brockie and Trustee Rick Johns were both absent. <br /><br />Sercombe said he was upset by the vote. He said if someone decides to resign, that should be respected. “I saw three people who did not respect that decision,” Sercombe said.<br /><br />Bettie Brockie, Clingerman and Singer declined to comment.<br /><br />Jancek said he will contact Sherry Brockie on Saturday, March 22, to see what her intentions are at this point. “We will make sure the business of the township continues,” he said.<br /><br />Brockie submitted her \"retirement\" letter to the township Tuesday, March 18, eight days after the board approved pay raises amounting ot almost $100,000 for her, Jancek and Sercombe.<br /><br />The board voted 4-2 for the raises, with proponents saying the officials work full-time and should be compensated that way. Sercombe and Jancek voted no on the raises, saying they knew the salary when elected and the raises weren\'t needed.<br /><br />The resolutions were not on the original agenda but were added after the meeting began.<br /><br />On Friday night, the room was filled with residents, several who voiced their upset about the pay raises being voted on without the public knowing beforehand.<br /><br />Jackson County Board of Commissioner Dave Elwell, who addressed the board as a Blackman Township resident, said he hopes the board revisits the pay raise issue soon.<br /><br />“It was hidden from public debate, scrutiny and input,” he said. “The amount of what was done was wrong in my opinion. The timing of what happened was wrong.” <br /><br />Resident Amber Keathley, who is a teacher at DaVinci Institute’s primary school, said she was disappointed in the township’s elected officials.<br /><br />“I can tell you, if one of my co-workers resigned, I would not vote to keep them,” Keathley said. “If they don’t want to be here, be gone.”<br /><br />Sherry Brockie, who has refused to speak to the Citizen Patriot, did not state in the letter why she retired. Deputy Treasurer Ashley Tarasiewicz also resigned on Tuesday.<br /><br />This is the second time in about four months that Brockie, who has been the township’s treasurer for 16 years, has turned in a retirement letter.<br /><br />Brockie submitted a retirement letter to the township on Nov. 29, intending for her last day to be Dec. 30. She later rescinded her retirement.<br /><br />Brockie said in the first letter that the retirement benefits that were outlined in the township ordinance were taken away from her and that she was not reimbursed for mileage, cell phone or township education-related expenses.<br /><br />“I’ve made it clear that the administration for the township was gravely underpaid and that not having the administration compensated fairly we allow the staff to run the township with little or no oversight,” Brockie said in the letter. “We’ve properly compensated staff but not administration.

CFO resignations are always concerning, and the case with Unilife is no different. Wieland resigned without announcing another opportunity that he is taking, indicating that he’s not leaving Unilife for a better alternative but because he no longer wants to be employed by the company. Unilife’s appointment of the Comptroller as Interim CFO, and its need to advertise for a new CFO within the actual press release, reveals that the resignation was unexpected.<br /><br />Based on what we’ve seen of UNIS, we assume that Mr. Wieland no longer wants to be associated with a company that is built around stock promotion, misleading product claims and a horrendous financial profile. Rather than stay with the company for its ultimate descent into the pink sheets, Wieland likely wanted to exit while his stock options are in the money and shares have some value.<br /><br />Having departed, Wieland can now monetize his 240,000 shares, as disclosed in the most recent proxy, without filing the relevant Form 4s. Alan Shortall and other senior management may be pressuring executives to avoid sales of their shares, due to the negative message share sales send to the market, and the most expedient way for Wieland to cash in his holdings is by resigning from the company.<br /><br />Additionally, Wieland received severance of $245,000 and the vesting of 115,000 shares of stock. Given that Wieland could earn this additional income, monetize his current holdings and sever ties with a questionable company, the resignation was probably too attractive to forego.<br /><br />Onerous OrbiMed Financing Expedites Financial Demise<br /><br />Unilife entered into a debt financing agreement last week that not only provides additional evidence of the company’s grim product potential, but also burdens them with high-cost debt that will probably ultimately render the company insolvent. On March 12th, Unilife announced that it entered into a $60 million loan agreement with OrbiMed Advisors.  The loan carries a usurious interest rate of L+925bps, and is backed by a pledge and security agreement, general security deed and commercial mortgage and security agreement. The company will not disclose the debt agreements until it files its next 10-Q, but we wouldn’t be surprised if the loan is collateralized by Unilife’s owned property.<br /><br />The high interest rate incurred in the financing is a sign that Unilife could not find other lenders willing to provide debt financing to the company. Whereas other businesses would be able to arrange loan facilities with banks such as Wells Fargo or Bank of America, Unilife had to seek out a hedge fund for its high cost capital.<br /><br />OrbiMed likely believes that Unilife will continue to be able to tap the equity markets through both secondary offerings and At-The-Money equity offerings to raise equity capital that can be used to pay its high interest rates.<br /><br />However, as we have seen with other biotech companies with gloomy revenue prospects, debt financings can ultimately come back to haunt these businesses when the equity markets finally tire of stock promotion and become unwilling to provide additional equity financing. When this happens, cash flow problems can compound quickly, driving the company into bankruptcy.<br /><br />In the case of Unilife, we believe that OrbiMed has positioned itself favorably in the event of a default, by including an L+14.25% default rate and likely incorporating the company’s real estate into its collateral package. In fact, OrbiMed may be better off in the event of a Unilife bankruptcy, a situation which would leave UNIS shareholders penniless.<br /><br />Retractable Technologies, a Close Comparable, Trades at a Fraction of Unilife’s Valuation<br /><br />Unilife has repeatedly told investors that its retractable needle designs are a “game-changing” technology with no viable peers. But another microcap company, Retractable Technologies, has long battled the industry leaders to market a retractable needle design. Unlike Unilife, RVP consistently generates genuine product sales of $30 – $40m with its VanishPoint line of retractable needle designs. But RVP’s management isn’t vocal, shunning quarterly conference calls and lavish investor presentations. Since it is largely self-funding, RVP has no need to drum up enthusiasm for secondary sales every few months. This lack of promotional activity has resulted in RVP’s shares trading at less than one-fifth the market capitalization of Unilife even though RVP generates four times the revenue.<br />Over the past decade, Retractable Technologies has only managed to marginally increase its revenue, growing from $19m in 2003 to $31m over the last twelve months. This meager 5% growth CAGR proves just how difficult it is for niche players to compete in the syringe market.<br /><br />Conclusion<br /><br />Based upon the disclosures given thus far, Unilife’s fundamentals cannot come close to justifying the current $580m market capitalization. The net present value of the disclosed milestones is just $53m versus an expected cash burn rate near $100m over the same two year period. Management’s guidance for year-over-year growth in 2014 sets an extraordinarily low-bar given that UNIS has earned just $8m of revenue over the past twelve months. If Unilife did expect positive cash flows in 2014, proper guidance would have been given. Instead, we’d expect another year of value destruction, dilutive financings, and extended timelines as Unilife struggles to compete with multi-billion dollar industry incumbents.<br /><br />We further think the two major developments for Unilife this month provide additional support that UNIS is a highly overvalued stock with dismal business prospects.

(OTCQB:ARNI), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of oncology therapeutics, today announced that it has expanded its management team with the appointment of Lawrence A. Kenyon as Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Kenyon will report to President and Chief Executive Officer Glenn Mattes, and will direct financial reporting and controls. During a finance and accounting career spanning 25 years, Mr. Kenyon has spent over a decade leading the financial function at publicly-traded healthcare companies including several in the oncology space.<br /><br />Glenn Mattes, President and Chief Executive Officer of Arno Therapeutics, said, \"Larry has a proven track record of leading the financial development initiatives at dynamic, clinical-stage companies in the biotechnology and pharmaceuticals arena, including a wealth of public company experience. He joins other recent strategic appointments, including Joseph Bisaha and David Jackson, both of whom joined the Company earlier this year as VP Clinical Operations and Project Management and VP Diagnostics, respectively, to form a leadership team that we believe is more than capable of taking Arno to the next level of success.<br /><br />Mr. Mattes continued, \"We are confident that Larry will be a key addition to our team as Arno continues to make significant clinical strides through active enrollment of patients in our Phase I trial of onapristone in women with progesterone positive solid tumors and final preparations to enroll the first patient in our Phase I/II study of onapristone for the treatment of advanced castration-resistant prostate cancer. We also continue to make substantive progress in the development of a companion diagnostic that will enable us to more effectively identify patients most likely to benefit from onapristone treatment, which will support both our near-term clinical initiatives as well as the eventual commercialization of onapristone as a novel, personalized therapeutic for the treatment of men\'s and women\'s cancers. Larry\'s deep expertise in SEC compliance and financial reporting, and strong relationships with the investment community should prove invaluable in our ongoing efforts to raise Arno\'s profile as we move forward.\"<br /><br />Mr. Kenyon joins Arno with 25 years of senior-level finance and accounting experience. Most recently, he was Interim President and CEO, CFO and Corporate Secretary at Tamir Biotechnology, Inc. a publicly-traded developer of oncology and anti-infective therapeutics, where he led a turnaround, including a successful recapitalization effort and expedited a proof-of-concept study for the Company\'s lead product candidate. Prior to that, he was Executive Vice President and CFO of NYSE-listed PAR Pharmaceutical Companies, Inc., a developer of generic and branded specialty pharmaceuticals, and Executive Vice President, CFO and Corporate Secretary of Neopharm, Inc. a NASDAQ-listed developer of oncology therapeutics, where he played an important role in the development and implementation of the Company\'s growth strategy through the formation of strategic partnerships and financing initiatives. In his career, Kenyon has led negotiations on multiple licensing initiatives, including a $225 million agreement for Alfacell Corporation, the predecessor to Tamir Biotechnology, and has spearheaded capital markets efforts resulting in an aggregate of nearly $250 million raised. He holds a BBA in Accounting from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, and is a certified public accountant.<br /><br />Mr. Kenyon added, \"I am thrilled to join Arno at such an important time in the Company\'s development. The Company has a dynamic, highly-capable leadership team and a clearly-defined clinical path focused on the concurrent, separate Phase I trials evaluating its lead compound onapristone in progesterone receptor positive tumors and prostate cancer. I believe that there is significant potential for growth in the long-term, in conjunction with the ongoing advancement of onapristone and development of the companion diagnostic. I am grateful for the opportunity to become part of Arno\'s management team and look forward to playing a role in the Company\'s future success.\"<br /><br />About Onapristone<br /><br />Onapristone has the potential to be the first approved anti-progestin for oncology indications and provide chemotherapy-sparing treatment to cancer patients who express a specific biomarker, as detected by a companion diagnostic under development. Onapristone is an oral, anti-progestin hormone blocker that has been shown in previous clinical trials to have anti-tumor activity in patients with breast cancer. Onapristone appears to have a unique ability to block the activation of the progesterone receptor, which is believed to be a mechanism that may inhibit the growth of breast, endometrial and other tumors. The activated form of the progesterone receptor (APR) has the potential to function as a biomarker of anti-progestin activity.<br /><br />About Arno Therapeutics<br /><br />Arno Therapeutics is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative products for the treatment of cancer. Arno has exclusive worldwide rights to develop and market three innovative anti-cancer product candidates. These compounds are in clinical or preclinical development as product candidates to treat hematologic malignancies and solid tumors.

Along with a recent label refresh for its beverages, Mamma Chia is planning to debut a new line of whole chia seeds, as well as new varieties for snack and beverage lines at this week’s Natural Products Expo West show. And in the midst of a recently launched round of funding, the company hired a new Chief Financial Officer with deep roots in consumer goods.<br /><br />Describing the new beverage labels as an “evolution, not revolution,” Mamma Chia CEO and founder Janie Hoffman explained that the company wanted to establish a more cohesive look that would align the products with the rest of its branding and products.<br /><br />“We feel the new labels offer a very fresh, modern, beautiful and magnetic evolution of the brand,” Hoffman said. “And they allow the Mamma Chia logo to have more shelf presence and pop while maintaining the iconic elements of the brand.”<br /><br />The new labels feature white font throughout the front of the package, with the exception of the description of the product as a “chia vitality beverage,” which is in yellow. Hoffman said that the new look maintains the current hierarchy as well as the iconic elements of the brand, including its “Aztec Chia Goddess” in the center of the bottle, as well as the addition of the Non-GMO Verified seal. While Mamma Chia will introduce several new products at Expo West, the labels will not hit store shelves until late spring or early summer, Hoffman said.<br /><br />In addition to two new flavors for its Chia Squeeze Vitality Snacks — Mango Coconut and Wild Raspberry — Mamma Chia plans to add Strawberry Lemonade and Pineapple Coconut varieties to its beverage line. Hoffman described Strawberry Lemonade as the most demanded flavor for Mamma Chia drinks, and while the new varieties will not immediately hit the market, the company’s new line of bagged whole chia is set to make its official debut at Expo West. Already available for sale on its website, the 12 oz. bags come in organic black and organic white chia selections and retail for $11.99.<br /><br />As Mamma Chia looks to scale production and distribution of its products, the company turned to a longtime CPG veteran to head up its finances.  Last month Bob Crumby joined Mamma Chia as the company as its new CFO, having most recently held the same position with cold-pressed juice company Evolution Fresh. Crumby holds an MBA from UCLA and is a CPA with has over 30 years of experience with branded CPG start&#8208;ups and large multi&#8208;national manufacturers, according to Hoffman.<br /><br />Crumby will undoubtedly play a critical role in Mamma Chia’s current round of funding, and while Hoffman did not offer details on the total amount that the company is seeking, she described a network of longstanding relationships and angel investors that have enabled the company to “raise a tremendous amount of money in the blink of an eye.”<br /><br />Amid a whirlwind of booth demos, interviews and meetings at Expo West, Hoffman will discuss Mamma Chia’s road to growth at Expo West as the featured speaker in the show’s Women In Naturals networking event on Saturday. Hoffman will also speak about her upcoming book, “Chia Vitality: 30 Days to Better Health, Greater Vibrancy, and a More Meaningful and Purposeful Life,” which is set to be released in April.','','','\r\n	Carlsbad, CA- based Mamma Chia has announced appointment of Bob Crumby as Chief Financial Officer.\r\n',2,1,'http://www.bevnet.com/news/2014/expo-west-update-label-evolution-new-cfo-for-mamma-chia','','mirania',4,'Bob-Crumby-Mamma-Chia-Chief-Financial-Officer-Appointed',0,'2014-05-15',0),(12081,17924,21124,'Treasurer','Kathleen Grant has resigned  as treasurer at  Lakewood Ranch CDD 2 board.','2014-03-21','2014-03-21','CDD 2 treasurer Kathleen Grant resigns<br /><br />Kathleen Grant, former treasurer of Community Development District 2, resigned from the board Thursday, announced Lakewood Ranch Inter-District Authority Executive Director Eva Rey.<br /><br />Grant, absent at Thursday\'s CDD 2 Board meeting, resigned effective immediately.

Johnny McIntosh, former president and chief operating officer of the successful Southern Living at Home direct sales business, assumed responsibility for business and financial operations at the Museum on April 26. “The Museum has been looking for someone with the financial skills and experience to help us build an overall stronger organization,” said Gail Andrews, director of the Birmingham Museum of Art. “Johnny’s expertise in budgeting, forecasting and financial planning will enable us to couple our superb artistic program with a corresponding financial plan of the same caliber. “Johnny’s work with Southern Living at Home proves he’s a very creative thinker,” Andrews said. “We look forward to his applying that creativity to our mission, our work, and our business model at the Museum.” McIntosh comes to the Museum with a background that includes being a certified public accountant, a publisher, and a controller. He held leadership in two different divisions of Southern Progress Corporation that each netted the Birmingham-based division of Time Warner more than $100 million in yearly revenues. Before running Southern Living at Home, McIntosh had risen through the ranks at SPC to become vice-president and publisher at Oxmoor House, the company’s book publishing arm. McIntosh was instrumental in 2005 in developing Southern Living at Home, a direct sales home décor business, which expanded the Southern Living brand through an approach sometimes compared to Tupperware parties or Pampered Chef. At its peak, with McIntosh as its president, Southern Living at Home boasted hundreds of sales consultants, hosting dozens of parties, and selling enormous numbers of various designer items for the home each month. Time Warner sold the Southern Living at Home business to a competitor last year.

He leaves a legacy of innovation and accomplishment, according to a SPAC press release.<br /><br />“Key achievements of Rick’s tenure include his role in spearheading SPAC’s transition to an in-house ticketing system, oversight of more than $5.5 million in capital improvements to the amphitheater and grounds, the positive restructuring of SPAC’s Live Nation contract and nine consecutive break-even budget years,” wrote Marcia White, SPAC’s president and executive director. “These and all his many accomplishments helped lay the foundation for SPAC’s progress and success.”<br /><br />Geary, who hails from Delmar and is a Siena College graduate, said he grew up at SPAC. His first concert there as an eighth-grader was the Lovin’ Spoonful, the group that sang, “Do You Believe in Magic?” Later, he saw Elton John when the singer was young and nimble enough to dance on a piano.<br /><br />“I was also at The Who concert in 1971 with 30,000 other people,” Geary said.<br /><br />After college, he had a successful career in the private sector that included financial and management positions with several family-owned businesses. In 1997, when the opportunity came up to apply for the SPAC comptroller position, he considered it a dream come true.<br /><br />“I would work at the jewel of the Capital Region,” he said.<br /><br />In 2005, SPAC’s board appointed Geary to the position of CFO and COO, a role that encompassed oversight of SPAC’s finance department as well as its internal operations, including the box office, amphitheater, security, parking and gates. At the peak of the season, he was responsible for a staff of more than 450.<br /><br />“I moved from solely financial to operational management as well,” he said. “I got involved in all aspects of SPAC.”<br /><br />In conjunction with the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, Geary provided key oversight of more than $5.5 million in major capital improvements to SPAC’s amphitheatre and facilities over the last several years, including 2007’s refurbishment of the amphitheatre interior and the installation of a new amphitheatre façade in 2012.<br /><br />SPAC is an entertainment facility, but also a 501(c) charity, Geary said. That presented dual challenges.<br /><br />“Also, we have such a diverse program, from opera to rock ’n’ roll,” he said. “It’s almost many different businesses.”<br /><br />SPAC has always operated under challenging financial circumstances. Tickets to classical performances cost SPAC twice as much as their sale cost. The audience loves the performances but isn’t willing to pay more, and only 2,500 of the 5,000 seats are filled during those events.<br /><br />“We have to raise the difference,” Geary said. “We’ve done polls and surveys. The general economic situation is challenging these days. And people are busier. We have to compete with their other activities.”<br /><br />Fundraising events such as the Wine and Food Festival, and the Ballet Gala help SPAC gain the needed monies. Everything has to be in motion to offset the shortfall, he said.<br /><br />Among Geary’s many noteworthy accomplishments during his tenure at SPAC was his role in leading the transition to a proprietary in-house ticketing system in 2010. This move established a new revenue stream for SPAC and greatly improved the efficiency of its ticketing operations. Although the initial investment in the system was projected to be repaid in five years, greater-than-expected efficiencies reduced the repayment time to just over two years.<br /><br />“Instituting the in-house ticketing system was tremendously successful,” he said.<br /><br />White calls his service to the organization distinguished.<br /><br />“Rick’s exemplary leadership and financial expertise have helped steer SPAC forward during a period of tremendous change for the performing arts center, and for the arts and entertainment industry as a whole,” she said. “A hands-on, results-driven leader in the very best sense, Rick managed all facets of SPAC’s internal operations with incredible energy, decisiveness and integrity.”<br /><br />The former CFO/COO says his passion for SPAC has been the key element of his time at the performing arts center.

CEO Mark Wood has stepped down and will be replaced by the company’s CFO Zillah Byng-Maddick on April 1. Byng-Maddick had previously been the CFO and then interim CEO at Trader Media, publisher of Auto Trader. Prior to Trader Media she was CFO at Fitness First.<br /><br />The company released a statement with the usual positive sentiments, but this is a big deal for UK (and US) magazine publishing. Future plc has been an enthusiastic developer of digital editions with well over 100 iPads apps inside the Apple Newsstand. But these new digital editions, while they added some digital subscription revenue, did not appear to have stemmed the loss of advertising pages.<br /><br />Now, with the CFO promoted to CEO, one can expect major moves to reduce costs. The first of these moves will have a dramatic impact on the publisher’s US magazines. U.S. print production will be shifted from local to the UK.<br /><br />“With these changes, all US print support functions such as consumer marketing and production will move to teams in the UK hub,: a Future plc statement said.<br /><br />“Editorial leadership for Future’s international print brands in the US will now be centralised in the UK, with some limited localised contribution from the US. No brands will be closed as part of this realignment, but US headcount will reduce by approximately one third.”<br /><br />Two decades ago moves such as this was called reengineering. It was a big word that really meant managing by the cost side of the P&L. While at McGraw-Hill, our division was reengineered by a new division president, resulting in massive layoffs, and eventually his firing, as moves like this succeed at cutting costs but really have nothing to do with building revenues and developing the business. Back then the excuse used was either efficiencies or being more entrepreneurial. Today the word used is digital.<br /><br />“These changes enable Future’s US business to focus squarely on profitable operation of our core US digital brands, which have increased traffic by 40% in the past year and draw over 22 million unique user visits a month,” outgoing CEO Mark Wood said in the announcement for the move.<br /><br />The CFO, and soon to be CEO, went straight for the cost savings in her statement: “We are absolutely focused on driving a significant reduction in the cost base of the business to deliver sustained margin improvement. With this activity we have moved decisively to realign resources and build efficiencies while taking a major step towards being a 100% digital business in the US. This is just one example of our determination to right-size Future for long-term success.”','','','',2,2,'http://www.talkingnewmedia.com/2014/03/28/future-plc-ceo-mark-wood-steps-down-cfo-to-take-over-us-mag-production-to-move-to-the-uk/','','mirania',4,'Zillah-Byng-Maddick-Future-Chief-Executive-Officer-Promoted',0,'2014-05-19',0),(12128,17964,21178,'Chief Financial Officer','Jeff Mitchell has been appointed as Chief Financial Officer at Staffing 360 Solutions.','2014-03-28','2014-03-28','Staffing 360 Solutions Inc.
