Logica CEO appointment imminent

According to a news item just posted by Thompson Financial, LogicaCMG will announce who is to be its new CEO in the very near future. The appointment will be from outside the company. As readers know Jim McKenna was appointed acting CEO when Martin Read stepped down - triggering the 'resignation' of Didier Hermann.

We ran a book on who the new CEO might be some months ago with Guy Hains (CSC) and Bill Thomas (EDS) heading the list. Some suspect the appointment will be from outside of the IT sector. So we will await with added interest.

Of course, the real interest will be whether LogoicaCMG receives the inevitable bid interest - and from whom!
