Health Sciences foundation, CEO part ways
One of the biggest foundations in Manitoba is looking for a new leader.
Eric Stefanson, chairman of Health Sciences Centre Foundation, confirmed Friday it parted ways with John Mohan, its president and CEO, earlier in the day.
"We parted company (Friday). We mutually agreed that the fit wasn't there and that we should part company," Stefanson said. "We wish him well in his future endeavours."
Mohan, who was only in the job for seven months, created a stir in late 2009 when he resigned from his CEO position at Siloam Mission after admitting to having an affair with a co-worker.
Stefanson said he didn't want to comment too much on a personnel matter but Mohan's departure "didn't have any issues related to the problems he was experiencing at Siloam."
"It was a fit issue," he said.
Stefanson said he will soon be calling Legacy Bowes Group, the head-hunting agency that matched Mohan up with the foundation last year, to start the search for a replacement.
"It doesn't always work out. Until people get into positions, neither the organization nor the person know for sure (if it's going to work). That's what happened here. We agreed we should part company and move on," he said.
HSCF's year end is March 31, so Stefanson said he is optimistic replacing its president and CEO early in its fiscal year would have a minimal impact on its operations.
The foundation, which employs 14 people, has gross revenues of approximately $12 million annually. As of its year end, it has a cash position of more than $5 million. It channels its money into medical-related activities at Health Sciences Centre, including research and specialized equipment and the Kleysen Institute for Advanced Medicine, a new clinical research facility.
Mohan could not be reached Friday.
