not even sure if it's off topic but ex-IV senior manager Chris Somogyi is now a GM at NZ's newly created R&D/innovation/commercialisation agency: http://www.callaghaninnovation.govt.nz/about-us/key-people/e...

I have no idea what he's up or why he was head-hunted to lil ol' NZ but an ex-IV guy in a major role in a central funding hub of an entire country's R&D system kind of weirds me out. My conspiracy tendencies are high normally, this takes it to 11. Any comments from a community that might have worked/interacted with him?
