CEO, Daniel Anderson announces his Resignation
During an Executive Board meeting held this morning, 8 Year Eminent Founder Chief Executive Officer Daniel Anderson announced his resignation. “I have given Eminent 8 of my best years of dedicated service, taking a idea and making it a multinational corporation will always remain one of my greatest accomplishments”, said Anderson. “I have not known such a more dedicated man, for his age he has definitely accomplished in short amount of time more than what some people in business do in a lifetime”, - Raine McCullough, Exec. VP. Anderson will remain Managing Shareholder owning 80% of Eminent’s Stock Options. Anderson will officially part way with Eminent on Friday, Oct. 1, 2010.
“There isn’t ever a time I could remember Daniel not being there to help me in anyway, this young man sacrificed so much of himself to build this company from the ground up giving up on most things that people take for granted everyday, no matter the time of day I knew if I called Daniel I got an answer. There’s not a lot of things I can say about most people because most people can’t handle life’s pressures, Daniel did it at 19″ now 26 he leaves behind and self-made empire. -Chris Davis VP, Agency Relations.
At the closing of this mornings meeting Anderson stated: “It almost seems like I just woke up this morning and said I quit, but certainly that’s not the case here. Eminent has and always will be my baby, I created something great taught it things, and it taught me as well. Watched it grow to be big and strong, and remained caring and supportive throughout. Now that Eminent has grown and is able to function with less effort from myself, I can finally refocus that energy on faith, family, and friends the very things that got me this far. I don’t see this as quitting, for me its just beginning the next chapter.”
Truly a very dedicated business professional, friend, and role model to many Anderson’s absence will be strong felt throughout Eminent. Anderson stated he plans to relocate to New Haven, Connecticut in the new year where he will be attending Yale Law School.
