东芝任命新任CEO和董事长，欲彻底摆脱财务丑闻 - 东芝,丑闻 - IT资讯
北京时间5月6日晚间消息，东芝今日宣布，已提名医疗设备部门前主管Satoshi Tsunakawa为公司下任CEO。东芝希望通过此举彻底与之前的财务丑闻划清界限。
60岁的Tsunakawa现为东芝高级副总裁，曾负责东芝医疗设备部门，并将其发展成为东芝的主要部门。Tsunakawa在新闻发布会上表示：“我最主要的任务就是重拾投资者信心，根据新的行动计划彻底改造公司。”
东芝去年5月传出财务丑闻。调查结果显示，在2008年至2014年间至少夸大运营利润1518亿日元(约合12亿美元)。该事件引发了业界的强烈关注，迫使时任CEO田中久雄(Hisao Tanaka)辞职，同时辞职的还有另外两位仍在东芝任职的前CEO和多名董事。
为消除不良影响，作为重组计划的一部分，东芝已裁员数千人，并将部分半导体业务出售给索尼，将全部医疗设备业务出售给佳能，将白色家电业务出售给中国美的集团。近期，东芝还对其核电厂业务的商誉价值进行减记。
Tsunakawa的提名还需要在6月底的股东大会上被正式批准。东芝现任CEO室町正志(Masashi Muromachi)去年7月上任，但他并无长期任职计划。辞职后，室町正志将出任东芝特别顾问。
今日，东芝还提名高级执行副总裁Shigenori Shiga为董事长。Shiga曾任东芝旗下核能子公司西屋电气(WH)董事长。东芝表示，Shiga在核能源领域的丰富经验对于东芝而言不可或缺。作为董事长，其职责必须要与政府和公共事业部门打交道。
