B&N Begins Another CEO Hunt - Publishers Weekly (PW)

When Panzer went into the Catosphere today, he realized he hadn't been to the Publishers Weekly (PW) site for a while. Our kitty pilot decided this would be a good time to stop in there and do some exploring.  With a little digging he found a post about Barnes and Noble.

According to the post by Jim Milliot, Barnes and Noble has begun searching for a new CEO after the termination of Demios Parneros on July 3. The post opens with the information contained in the original termination announcement. Panzer already told you about the termination when it happened. The press release from Barnes and Noble didn't give an exact reason for the termination and this new Publishers Weekly post doesn't contain any new information about the termination. After the initial section about the termination announcement, the last two-thirds of the post has information from interviews with unnamed publishing executives. The executives are quoted giving their opinions on what they would like the new CEO to have experience with. For example, one executive would like the new CEO to be knowledgeable about books and another would like the new CEO to have company leadership skills.
There must a good CEO somewhere.

Panzer says, "Barnes and Noble sure has a lot of trouble finding the right CEO."

Note: This is a long post. Bring a cup of tea and a muffin for today's reading selection.
