But... Other Media, Aviation Org's Ignore Various Controversies Surrounding This Troubled Company

Following recent revelations about lawsuits and the details about them coming to light via ANN coverage (and sparsely reported elsewhere) Icon appears to be trying to right its listing ship. Following the departure and lawsuit by Kirk Hawkins, and the departure without notice of his replacement, Icon seems to have a new Boss... for as long as he lasts, anyway.

Jason Huang is the latest President of Icon. In that role, Huang, "will oversee all business functions, with a particular focus on maintaining manufacturing excellence, product development and innovation, and providing an ownership experience that is second to none." Mind you; complaints about the ownership experience are extensive, so Huang has his work cut out for him.

Huang allegedly has more than 30 years of engineering and management experience in the manufacturing and software industries, with deep experience in product research and development methodologies as well as end-to-end product development, which is an ideal fit for ICON as the company continues to expand.

Prior to joining ICON, Huang worked at EMC and OpenText as Head of Cloud Platform Engineering & Operations. He holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Queen Mary University of London, and a MS and BS in Mechanical Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China.
