I like SGI will now have a dedicated Company Secretary who is also focused on Company ASX announcements. Slapping the Secretary roll onto the CFO is a small company MO, time to up their game and not have any further issues on ASX disclosures. Anthony Benino ((37) Anthony Benino | LinkedIn) has an Oil and Gas background, but industry differences are not really an issue for the role he is taking, his limited Company Secretary roles and ASX listed roles is more an issue, but 16 years doing corporate advisory I am sure has most of this covered, but we will see.
Matt Green ((37) Matt Green | LinkedIn) seems solid for the CFO, good companies, but again the industry fit is a little off, working for service providers who mainly use some of SGI’s products rather than wholesale distribution experience which is SGI's core business. A bit like the previous CFO John Boland ((37) John Boland | LinkedIn).
In general, I am comfortable because I have a lot of faith in Mike as CEO as a numbers and business metric driven leader. Good CFO support is always needed, but Mike knows the numbers that are important and how to make them work, so doesn't need his hand held on the finances.
Hence: business as usual as far as I am concerned.
