Epic CEO resigns after disappointing quarter

Article Abstract:

Epic Data International Inc president and CEO John Anderson has left the Richmond, British Columbia-based software company after failing to secure a major contract. The self-advertised turnaround artist will leave the company as soon as a replacement is found and appointed. Anderson's management style apparently is partly to blame for the company's failure to win a contract as experienced people who were turned off by Anderson's style have left the company.
