President transitioned to Special Advisor, signaling leadership change; watch for succession and terms.

This shift concentrates near-term leadership responsibilities with the CEO and interim structures, which can create execution risk if handoffs are complex. No successor, effective end date, or compensation/exit terms are disclosed here, so the scope of ongoing obligations and any retention or severance arrangements are unclear from this report.
