The board will likely appoint a permanent CEO soon
As Amin takes the chair temporarily, the office bearers will be looking for a full-time replacement.
Recent reports suggest that the nomination process for appointing the next CEO is likely to be decided in the impending Apex Council meeting (on July 17).
In the scheduled meeting, the board members will also discuss the appointment of "new employees".
