Ms Jiang spoke briefly to the press via NeoCom: "An opportunity has presented itself to FGW that promises to deliver bottom line growth like no other opportunities in the past. However, this project will require skills that I only have, and it will demand all of my focus and energy. At this time, it is simply not possible for me to pursue this project and continue in my role of CEO. Because of this, I am stepping down as CEO".
Ms Jiang continued. "Nate Mullenix will be my replacement. Nate has recently distinguished himself as the leader of a small team of haulers and traders operating in the Gallente and Minmatar regions. No other member of FGW has ever produced so much wealth in so little time starting with so little resources. Nate understands the company like no other, and he will make a great CEO. At this time, I would like to invite Nate to say a few words".
Mr Mullenix, the new CEO, also spoke briefly: "Thank you Meili, I am humbled at the thought of replacing such an accomplished CEO. Meili Jiang has done incredible work since taking over the troubled company from her predecessor and founder, Hoshiko Takamori. The company's financial position has never been stronger, and this strength will allow FGW to pursue future profitable ventures."
"I am also quite excited at the opportunities that are in front of us today. Hauling and trading operations will continue, as they are the core of what we at FGW do. To properly support this effort, I have promoted Izel Talli to the role of Director, Amarr Operations, and I've also promoted Nate Reinheardt, my partner in crime, to Director, Minmatar Operations. Please join me in congratulating Izel and Nate in their new role.
"I would also like to announce the promotion of Toritetsu Morimoto to the role of Director, Corporate Security and Fleet Operations. Toritetsu is a graduate of the prestigious EVE University and the Ivy League Navy. His experience and skill as a combat pilot and fleet commander will serve our company well."
"And finally, I would like to announce that Meili Jiang will take on the role of COO and Director, Special Projects for FGW. Meili's first task in this new role will be to head up Special Project 1 (SP1), which will be made public once it goes live."
At this point, the press conference ended. The press handouts included other changes in the company's organizational structure. FGW has given the press permission to reproduce that information here:
