The EML Payments Ltd (ASX: EML) share price recovered some lost ground today.
This comes after the companyâs former managing director and CEO posted a message on his LinkedIn profile regarding his departure from the company.
At Thursday’s close, the payments companyâs shares were swapping hands at $1.05, up 12.3%.
What did the former CEO say?
The EML Payments share price finally enjoyed some relief today having fallen in the three previous sessions, including a drop of almost 25% on Monday following the shock news of CEO Tom Cregan’s exit.
Cregan bid the company farewell today after 10 and half years at the helm. He noted the âincredible journeyâ of building the business with a dedicated team that brought âtheir A-game”.
Cregan mentioned how EML Payments turned its fortunes around from being a small-time player to a global behemoth.
However, he delved into the reason for the abrupt exit that left shareholders stunned on Monday.
Cregan said:
After more work hours, air miles and nights away from home that I care to remember, I was happy to move on to the next journey and was happy that I controlled that outcome.
I will miss the people and customers, but not the 6am starts and 10-11pm finishes most days of the week!
Furthermore, Cregan went on to congratulate Emma Shand on her appointment as the new managing director and CEO.
He mentioned that she has an ideal set of attributes to lead the company while spending considerable time in Europe to run its operations. That was something Cregan said he was no longer willing to do âfrom a personal and family standpoint”.
