Anne Sigouin (GM ArjoHuntleigh) willingness to hurt the business

Quote










































In order to get approval by Nasdaq Stockholm AB to stand up a new entity, the principals at Arjo had to meet certain requirements... one of them being diversity in the executive leadership ranks. They picked Anne because it checked the diversity box. Lindoff knew (and still knows) she's a weak leader, so he recruited a group of people from his Getinge US business to de facto run the company. I spent 2017, 2018 and most of 2019 in Malmo and they speak about this openly in the main office.

Lindoff is an empty suit. His sales performance in Getinge allowed him to coast for the last decade, but the flat performance of the company is starting to chip away at his reputation. Don't let the webinars and business reviews fool you - Arjo as a stand alone is barely treading water. Revenue is flat. Layoffs are a regular occurence. While the rest of the players in long term care are posting 10% - 15% YOY growth, Arjo has to redefine creative accounting just to fake 4%.

COVID is a blessing for this leadership team - it gives them 12 - 18 months of ready made excuses for poor performance. I am actively interviewing elswhere because it looks like nothing will change soon. I encourage all of you to do the same.
 


















Just found out this blog by searching Anne Sigouin on Google. I’m not surprised at all about above comments. She had a terrible reputation at J& J. The only reason she got promoted was because of Ian Larson. She destroyed motivations of most reps and was known as as weak leader who doesn’t trust her staff. I am surprised she end up being a GM. Obviously upper management has not idea who she really is. Arjo must have lost a lot of good people since she came in. She’s so toxic.
 




































Ann either has absolute confidence in someone and on the other hand does not believe the majority of employees at all. This seems to demonstrate a lack of emotional maturity.
 






You state the obvious, Anne is insecure and her emotions are altered accordingly. She sometimes behave differently when she’s with her favourites. She can be condescending to others. She reminds me how teenagers might become cocky when they are with their own specific groups.
