Glaxo U.S. COO search is priority for CEO Ingram following his elevation to CEO of global business.
Executive Summary
GLAXO U.S. CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER SEARCH IS PRIORITY FOR CEO INGRAM following his elevation to CEO of Glaxo Wellcome, plc. Robert Ingram will retain his position as head of the U.S. operating division of Glaxo (Glaxo Wellcome, Inc.) but will name a COO as soon as possible, the company said Oct. 28. The lack of an immediate successor to handle day-to-day U.S. operations highlights the suddenness of Glaxo's announcement of Ingram's promotion. Another indication of the suddenness of the change is that Ingram made a scheduled Oct. 27 presentation to the Oppenheimer investment conference, one day before the promotion was announced.
