Love the share price action today!  Was not expecting it, so extra good.

Ajit was and is the ultimate good will ambassador for POET.  But he brought Suresh in to run the company, and the company certainly has been up to plenty lately.  The new exec chairman seems fine to me, and, as an "executive" chairman, I'm sure he'll be far more hands on than the normal COB type, just as Ajit was, and perhaps even more so, and he surely has some additional energy.
