Executive Summary
Shire's interim CFO James Bowling will be leaving the company at the beginning of 2015 to pursue an opportunity as CFO of water company Severn Trent. His departure is the latest disruption for the Irish company, which has just been dumped as a $53bn acquisition target by AbbVie (scripintelligence.com, 21 October 2014). Shire said Mr Bowling's departure is unconnected to the failure of the AbbVie deal.
