23 September 2013 - roughly 7 weeks from now. (signed a week before announcement?)
6 months between departure and replacement announcements. how fast is that? any chance they had him in mind?
I suspect Prudential were happy to break their contract with him and let him leave early, as he must have had a 3-6 month contract at that level.
What concerns me is that Smith has spent just about all of his working life at Prudential (27 years) so how worldly is he?
