Tech Life Hires New CEO

New York, April 12 — Amid a crisis of low sales and disappointing performance, the technology company Tech Life has hired Steve Cross as its new chief executive officer. Previously, he was the chief financial officer at the technology investment firm Esta Resources in San Francisco, California. He assumed the position of CEO at the company—based in Dallas, Texas—just this Monday. Stockholders voted unanimously for the appointment, hoping the new CEO will bring renewed vitality and strength to the company. Mr. Cross has an impressive record as a business leader who makes smart decisions," commented Lynn Dyer, the director of human resources at Tech Life. "We have faith that he will lead US in a new direction that will help develop new markets and optimize our company operations in general."
Steve Cross graduated from Chester University in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, with a master's degree in business administration. He once served as head of the American League of Business Leaders and is a dedicated family man.

Dear Mr. Cross,

It has been almost two years since we met. I am so glad to be collaborating with you again after we worked in the same department at Esta Resources. I felt we cooperated very well at that time, and I had been hoping to work with you again. You will find that we have very dedicated and hard-working teams here. If there is anything I can do to help you make the transition, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Additionally, Tech Life has recently added five new managers to our company. If you have time, please visit them when they will all be attending a mandatory training session at 3:00 P.M. this afternoon in Room 403.

Sincerely,
Lynn Dyer
Director of Human Resources Tech Life
