Out of respect for the deceased, this is a NO SPECULATION ZONE

I think this confirms what we've been expecting, but here are some official articles published today discussing the new leadership at Sunbeam:

  • Andrew Ansin (Ed's oldest son) will become CEO.
  • James Ansin + Paul Magnes will be co-presidents.
  • Ownership remains with the Ansins.

I think it's fair to say that Ansin solidified his legacy, building a company with a uniquely strong foundation that itself will also only die with its boots still on.

Corporates will have to put up a war if they really want to take a bite.

I think it's the right move and Myron said it best Ed had a plan in place for when he died, his children would take over and in all likelihood the company will continue to thrive on its own and maybe grow the company a little bit (I'll save that particular topic for elsewhere)

I've never been the biggest fan of Ansin's approach (the flashy, tabloid-y look and feel, buying WLVI just to keep it out of NBC's hands, etc), but he did things his way and came out on top, and I have to respect that.
