Mr. George continues to be a significant investor in Epcylon through his share holdings, and will be retaining his shares for the long-term. "I have full faith and confidence as an Epcylon investor, and in the new management team to lead the company's strategic initiatives on its growth path," says Mr. George.
Todd Halpern, Chair of the Epcylon Board, "We wish Peter all the best in his future endeavours, both personally and professionally."
In replacing Mr. George, Jack J. Bensimon has been appointed as Interim CEO. Mr. Bensimon is not new to Epcylon as his risk management consulting firm, Black Swan Diagnostics Inc., was retained to assist with various strategic initiatives as part of the company's future growth.
