likely will leave after turnover and workout of his separation agreement. Probably not the Sputter external 3rd party mistake but rather the length of time to recover from it and leaving executives exposed to slow recovery if he had left them with the impression it was under control. if they were in London together and they thought the problem was under control only to find that they had to get BAE in to fix it that could have been quite difficult for Ajit and PC especially if they were recruiting and had this hanging over them. Also think that Stephan may not have wanted to go to San Jose so this may be the right time to hand off to someone more connected in the Silicon Valley and who has deeper operational expertise.
