Carl Marks has been appointed R&D chief of Immature Products.
Carl has managed several R&D projects in the past at Uganda Telecom, the Bank of Haiti, North Korean Airlines and the World Data base for Saudi Womens' Rights.
Carl's maternal uncle, Tim Buck, is a member of our Board.
Carl is married and father of 8 kids, who live in Canada, Thailand, Quebec, Vermont and Salt Lake City.
In parallel, a certain (former secretary) Jennifer Papadopoulos-Otellini has been appointed HR Business Partner for R&D.
Jennifer will report directly into Carl, and "coordinate" dotted line into VP HR, Gloria Ramsbottom-Lemieux.
I appear to have a challenge on my hands. Jennifer and Carl have worked together for 22 years in what some people describe as a close knit relationship, whatever that means.
For Heaven sake.
This morning, my direct report and Head of Purchasing, Sarah Minnow-Barracuda, reports that Stan has signed off for a pool table, 5 play stations and a squash court for R&D. All engineerings are to receive Blackberry Q10.
A bidet has also been approved for Carl's office, since he appears to suffer from piles of problems, whatever that means.
I am the First Lady of HR with a stellar career. "People" is my middle name, on Tuesdays.

I'd make sure that Stan doesn't sign off on any other procurement by Carl without some scrutiny by an adult.
