] board said. A decision on the timing will likely come sometime this week.The general consensus of the board is to have a selection ready by the board meeting scheduled at the end of October. Whether the new CEO will be permanent or on an interim basis will depend on how old the selected person is.
If the selection is for an interim CEO, that person will likely stay for a year or two rather then a few weeks.

Another possibility that many insiders and analysts are tipped as a good interim CEO is former Fleet CEO Chad Gifford, but Gifford is playing down the idea of him taking the job.
