Excerpts from Management CV, Inc., Research Reports
June 3, 2013
“POSITIVE CEO CHANGE STILL TOO MUCH TO OVERCOME—CENT Director John Ranelli was brought in as the new CEO this year to finish the restructuring. CEO Ranelli’s marketing skills should help branded product sales, but we think he faces a formidable challenge in turning CENT around … Our overall take is that CENT will likely continue to underperform.”

“A WELL-TENDED GARDEN—New CEO George Roeth had much to be thankful for as he reported strong third quarter results that are properly credited to his predecessor John Ranelli … under Ranelli, CENT successfully transitioned from a founder-centric model into a truly distributed management structure with sustainable operating leverage.”
