what happened to vp of sales?

?

 

Joe replaced Rob as VP of Commercial. Riga is gone. Did anyone replace him?

 

He is out of here and still working, now at Spectrum. Charismatic, young and NOT retired.

 

Is Neal Fitzpatrick at Dendreon? Thought he may be NSD, but may be thinking of another company...

 

Riga was announced today as an employee at Spectrum. He didn't retire as the company paid sponsor would suggest and continue to mislead the real truth on this board.

 

He is out of here and still working, now at Spectrum. Self-centered, young and NOT retired.

 

He took Runzheimer with him

 

Unfortunately-NOT.

 

He hired 3 sales directors with NO experience, Hedge, Miller and Duran

 

More complete BS.

 

So whoever said he was retired was probably lying to make things seem rosey at Dendreon.

 

Spectrum's website "announced" the arrival of 3 managerial new hires (see Company Highlights) and Riga is not mentioned:

So Riga going to SPPI is probably another lie.

 

With Riga gone, the COGS is lower. Sales were shitty when he was here. If they continue shitty, at least fixed costs are lower.

 

Check out Sanofi.

 

My money is on Incyte

 

Can someone please tell me how Joe Depinto is still employed here? Please, I need to know. He is the lamest excuse for a leader that I have witnessed in this industry.

 

That's an easy answer. GS is still here. MG was given a contract to remain in November 2011 (3 months after August 2011). He resigned on the effective date on the last day of January 2012 only after the latest pump was complete. SB and the rest of the BoD is pretty much the same. Why remove people who fail? It's admitting failure. Kapeesh?

 

Joe De Pinto is the best commercial guy in the oncology space. Have you ever met him or anyone that works at our company?

 

What happened to TR?

 

Someone said he retired. I think there is more to the story than the guy no longer being here due to retiring.
