Thread regarding ION Geophysical Corp. layoffs

Who is James Lapeyre?

Who is James Lapeyre? What we do know is that he is Chairman of the Board of Directors at ION and also President of Laitram LLC, a "global leader of innovative products and services for many industrial markets" located exactly 0.3 miles from ION's Harrahan facility.

So what makes Mr. Lapeyre qualified to be Chairman of the Board? What is his geophisical background, and why is he invested in share to a greater extent than any other board member or executive included Hansen.

Anyone have any insight as to why this guy is involved in ION or as to why as chairman of the board he has not yet fired Hansen or Bate?

I think he's left a cron job running and forgotten about it :-)

Looks like he has been making near daily buys of stock, as of the end of Aug. And his title has now changed from "Director" to "Director and Beneficial Owner"...

DigiCourse was a very successful marine instrumentation company spun off from Laitram. It was purchased by IO(now ION) back in 1998 and thats when Jay Lapeyre became involved with the company. Presumably a significant part of the deal was in IO stock which I guess is why he is still a large share holder. He's a successful businessman and well respected by all accounts.
