BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – WITH the resignation of Terrance Crossman as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the St. Christopher Air and Sea Port Authority taking effect, an interim CEO has been appointed until a permanent replacement is selected and appointed.
Chairman of the SCASPA Board Carol Evelyn told this publication that Crossman’s contract expired late last week with his resignation taking effect around the same time.
He has, according to confirmed reports, moved on to permanently oversee the affairs of the Sugar Industry Diversification Foundation (SIDF).
Evelyn also explained that SCASPA’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Marcellus Phillip has been appointed the provisional CEO, commencing his duties at that post yesterday (Apr. 16).
Regarding the selection of a permanent CEO, Evelyn informed SKNVibes that the vacancy was advertised and the interview process has begun with 22 candidates applying for the spot. He said the applicants hail from across the region and the USA, with two persons from St. Kitts Nevis also throwing their hats into the ring.
He said he prefers not to reveal the names of the two local applicants. However, rumours are rife that one holds a prominent position in a popular corporate entity, which has branches across the Caribbean.
Asked how far along the interview process is, Evelyn said the preliminary stage has been passed and the process is now in the hands of the Human Resource Committee of the SCASPA Board.
As such, the CEO position, he declared, is expected to be filled by mid-May 2012.
Meanwhile SCASPA has said goodbye to Delcia Bradley-King who resigned from her post as Manager of Corporate Affairs. She has been replaced by Marva Burroughs who last served at the St. Kitts Nevis Development Bank.
Bradley-King however still serves on the SCASCA Board as Secretary.
