Now Haselden and Korey are going to be sharing this position.

Korey has said that the company allowed a few inaccurate reports influence the plan of transition which they had and its timeline. Haselden had been supposed to initially become the COO of Away and later then transition into the role of the CEO for taking this company public. Even after the transition taking place, they were both supposed to stay in the original roles as per the reports.
