Andrew Fagan to resign as CEO -> new CEO search

[1970crow]

Pittman would be earning three times as much at Taylor Collison than he would as Adelaide CEO. Why would he do it?

Circa $2.1m, I doubt it.

 

[BronCrow]

So who is acting CEO, given our non-relevant COO also has gone?

That is a very good question

I think it's Pittman as Chair, not CEO.

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

You’d be surprised

Guess we will find out on Wednesday Night. At the Member Meeting. Along with the New Board Member.

Sure, but strange a large organisation like the Crows haven't clarified when Fagan walked out the door... if true.

 

[Sanders]

Sure.

But being a CEO in a high performance sporting environment takes a lot more than knowing your way around a club. It takes a very particular skill base and Pittman hasn't ever done anything like that. He makes a portfolio of investments in small-to-medium mining and resources companies.

And yet he was endorsed by every man and his dog, including Wayne Jackson & Gillon to be chairman

 

[Sanders]

It puts up there whatever you type into the "business name" field when you add another experience. You have to go back and uncheck boxes to stop it doing that automatically.

Source: it did that to me when I added something to LinkedIn a couple of weeks ago.

so he’s had 8 years in which to realise that looks a bit off, or to add another experience/qualification

I contend it’s more likely he thinks it looks cool, and doesn’t care that it’s misleading

No annoucement was made, just a news story on one outlet.

 

[ManInTheArena]

...let the process unfold, and see which candidate emerges before we grab the pitchforks.

Do you think there won't be pitchforks anyway?

 

[ManInTheArena]

You’d be surprised

I don't know anyone that stupid, and if they are that stupid, they shouldn't be the CEO.

 

[ManInTheArena]

If you don’t understand Adelaide culturally (both the city and the club) you will fail at this job.

Or that's why the club is a failure...

 

[Sanders]

I don't know anyone that stupid, and if they are that stupid, they shouldn't be the CEO.

sorry, what are you saying?

 

[FR0GGY]

sorry, what are you saying?

Someone giving up 2.1m salary to be the CEO is stupid?

 

[Sanders]

Someone giving up 2.1m salary to be the CEO is stupid?

I’d say someone on that sort of money is more likely to take a job they really want to do, than someone on a comparable wage

there is a lot of status in being AFC CEO, far more so than being in financial services

he’s made his money.

Same when we pushed Smart out the door. No club announcement, just an interview with indaily.

not amicable either

Not sure it'd be three times.

Assuming the Adelaide job is maybe $600k, I can't see him earning $1.8m managing mining investments.

And that's fine too.

Not sure what other experience/qualification would go there though, considering he's been at Hawthorn for two decades.

it’s all academic, i don’t think there’s much chance it’s him

"managing mining investments" would just be the start. Add in his share of profit from Taylor Collison, add in the opportunities he gets from placements and other deals through his position. If he's not making at least $2m a year from the opportunities his role and position currently gets him, then I don't want him as CEO.

 

[jbanger]

Lol, I read it as Taylor Collision and was wondering htf he was making $$$ being high up in a crash repair joint

if he were a mafia Don!

So who do we think will be new CEO? Back on topic.

Not Vozzo.

With Fagan seemingly gone, and Vozzo currently at an AFL club where giving notice is important, you would think we would be hearing rumours from Perth about him leaving by now.

I just hope it's someone who is both financially literate and driven for success.
