The way we’d get there:
I’m prepared to resign from my engineering management responsibilities and to focus solely on my remaining role as VP of Product, as soon as a successor for VP of Engineering has been identified. We would start that hiring process probably in early 2013. I’m recommending to Sue that we seriously consider internal candidates for the VP of Engineering role, as we have a strong engineering management team in place today.
So realistically we'd probably identify that person towards the end of the fiscal year.
Due to the nature of the foundation and to ensure continued growth and prosperity I would be hoping that the foundation ensured both positions became "vacant" and the person/s are chosen on the merits of their applications to ensure the continued and best growth.
