Dear Reader,
The changing of a CEO is an event usually met with consternation by
the market. But often times the introduction of a new steward of the company's
fortunes ... especially when it is an experienced new leader ... can provide
a company with a burst of enthusiasm and new business prospects.
Clearly, the departure of an outgoing CEO can be seen as a detriment. But
if the departing CEO has been surrounded by solid management, his skill
set may vicariously be in place and his list of contacts available to them.
This provides a 'jumping off' point, if you will, for the new CEO, expanding
the company's business using his own acumen.
This transition is occurring for China Organic Agriculture, Inc.
(OTC BB:CNOA) who has appointed a new CEO - Changqing Xu, an experienced
leader with 15 years of experience in management and five years of senior
level management outside of China. Xu's lengthy management resume
and specific expertise in the agricultural space may prove a compelling
marriage for CNOA's expansion and acquisition efforts. See News Below
