To say that Nokia is a step down from working for Navarre is simply laughable and ignorant.


I don't think anyone said that... They were saying that they were kind of surprised that Kennedy left a high profile company like Nokia to work for Funimation/Navarre instead.

Bunchuu, when a person that occupies a higher position in a company leaves, it takes some time to find a new person to take over. The article on ICv2 says that he won't be leaving until mid-November, which most likely means that he'll be helping to find a replacement.

Also, the original article said that Kennedy left some time in the past few months, while Thomas hasn't left just yet.

Whats interesting to me is that there is no mention of replacements. Usually with positions like these, if they are planned leaves on good terms, they will have people to take there place lined up. Although not unheard of, still interesting.

Two execs. leaving at the exact same time, going completely different places, with not one of them having a position being filled?


Might be interviewing and not made a final choice yet. Maybe a promotion for someone else in Funi. They also might simply have forgotten to mention them lol. I would be interested myself though in knowing who, if anyone, if taking their positions.

Actually it was inferred by an earlier comment.

How does someone who went to Harvard go for a stupid company like Nokia?


Their troll-fu was weak.
