It is very common for board members to be on multiple boards of directors. I think it is an irrelevant concern in the case of Tony Hooper.

I did find it interesting, however, that Tony came on board having purchased more shares of MannKind common stock than the current CEO has.  |

Please watch the following link (courtesy Phillytime on ST) , Tony is a heavyweight, not, as he was described here by HFM folks "Mikes buddy" brought to fend off their BOD folks. He is the real deal, for our BOD, and the future for Mannkind investors, IMHO. youtu.be/eNEvsZkHDQkNot the best of toupees. |

I don't think that a guy like Hooper would jump onto a sinking ship. He knows people in MNKD management so he should be well informed about the company. Is anyone here saying MNKD is sinking? |

All the dots are starting to line up. |

We'd all be more than fine with MC buying more, management share ownership is downright awful.

MC doesn't have to buy shares ... if he does what I think he will ... he'll be gifted with a ton of shares.
But, that's mytakeonit

If for as much as he makes, if he has a lot of debt with his own money, I wonder how he feels operating with other people’s money like mine. And if he can’t afford to buy heavily into what he works 60-70 hours or more a week for - because he can’t handle his own money well - I don’t know as if I’d want him to be our CEO |

I'm going to throw my take on it and say that he's going to lead MNKD into expanding into Australia. It sounds like his wheel house and he states at around the 1:12 mark, in response to a question about his highlights in Australia, is that the Australians' "...ability to drive business and get to patients is better than I've ever seen before." Mike knows Hoop and it may in fact fit into their playbook.
