Nos concurrents
Dan Sandweiss a été embauché vers 8 il y a quelques mois en tant que directeur général d’OA, ce qui signifie qu'aujourd'hui c'était sa première occasion de comparaître devant la Conférence des Affaires des Services Mondiaux.. Il a fait preuve d’un grand enthousiasme pour la mission d’OA, a dit qu'il aimait le travail, et "tu devras me virer" avant qu'il ne quitte son travail.
As one would expect of a managing director, Sandweiss has a background in business. (Seven trustees participated in a monthslong search process, and then found their candidate in our backyard: He lives in Albuquerque.)
While at the podium to answer questions, he referred several times to “our competitors.” As examples, he cited a weight-loss company and a pharmaceutical. Évidemment, those and other entities like them are different from OA, but it was an interesting perspective. It seems more than fair to think that outside the rooms, people who are seeking solutions related to disordered eating are indeed choosing from among OA, companies, pharmaceuticals, and other options.
‘Course, we attract, they promote. But in the world, we are competing.
