Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA (1888PressRelease)
December 11, 2009 - Hooks Enterprises, a leading business consulting firm, has announced that founder James R. Hooks has stepped down as President and CEO. He will serve as a strategic advisor until the company's new direction is firmly established.
"Hooks Enterprises needs a new strategic direction and operational excellence to steer the company into 2010 and beyond”, said Mr. Hooks. “I've been so honored and humbled to work with a great many people the last four years, and feel now is the right time to move on.
“Hooks Enterprises should be focused more on the 'enterprise' and less on the 'Hooks'. Through all the challenges the company experienced in late-2008 and 2009, this is the best way to ensure the company's financial health in an ever-changing economic climate.”
Hooks Enterprises announced to a select group of clients earlier this month its plans to scale back from business consulting and renew its focus as a private holding company for various internet ventures across multiple industries.
Although Mr. Hooks will be leaving his role as head of the company, there are no plans to change the company name nor re-brand it.
