I heard about this 3-4 months ago that this was in the works... it pretty much hit crescendo two weeks ago at Infocomm. Where...just about everyone was joking around about it.
So, what does it mean for Polycom? Not sure. Andy certainly is a hard charger. but..will he get the support behind him from Mike & Bob and the patience from Mike & Bob. That has been the killer of all people before him. Its not like David or Kim were not hard chargers either. Both were passionate and very smart and dedicated... they both had plans on where to move the sales organization and what they needed out of the rest of the company to make it happen. But...they only received partial support.
So... Andy starts on the job soon... but, unfortunately for Andy, his timer also started up and he probably has 24 months before the rumors of him leaving start to surface. I really don't think it matters how good or how bad he performs... past lessons say that his expiration date label has already been printed.
