TriVascular

We're just going to get rid of all the crap salespeople and then build out our sales force with much higher quality.

Good luck with that. It's all over now....Nellix is coming and that device is going to put the last nail in the coffin for TriVascular!

My brother Vivek? Was my brother Vivek canned?

Nope. Shane Gleason canned but it was 2 years too late......worst leader I've ever worked for but I don't understand why he even had the job and why it took so long....

Not a good outlook for the rest of the year since 1st quarter should have been our best.

it's so bogus when outsiders use words like "ours." Anonymous troll bait posts are rampant on these boards.

Really? You didn't know he was part of the 'good ol' boys' network?

Or that he was Mr. 'I never say anything controversial'? Or that he would never strongly word anything, that he never took a stance on much of anything, that he tried to be the most politically correct creature HR could ever dream up, that he thought that if he just smoothly oozed about he would be safe and 'doing the right thing career wise'? He tried so hard to be everybody's friend and buddy.

Remember - he went to school in the Richard Foust college of career success. Problem is, the industry has become too competitive to support an army of smarmy diplomat types in middle management. We need movers and shakers. Doers. People with spine, opinion, vision and drive.

Shane was an effective leader who got blamed for everything here. He's a stud and will probably resurface as a COO or President of another med device company. Haters go away please. His sales team sucked, not him!

His sales team does suck, you are 100% correct....but he hired them all so let's not get carried away. Shane was only part of a much bigger problem. TriVascular is in trouble and the real problem is at the top with the CEO. Time for change quickly before it's too late.

Stud???? Not so sure I agree with that statement. Shane is a smart guy no doubt but as a sales leader he was a failure. Not enough experience in the field (never been an RM or Area Director) and now all of a sudden you throw him into a VP of Sales position??? Failure. Trivascular continues to make poor hiring decisions especially on the management side. Company will NEVER make it with Chavez at the helm and Vivek running sales.....run for the hills folks!
