Since joining IMS in July, 2009, he has been involved in tax compliance, risk management, and accounting and financial reporting.

In addition to wages, Powell’s employment agreement calls for participation in any senior management bonus and stock plans as may be approved by the Board of Directors. It also contains a change of control provision whereby he will receive $100,000 plus one year’s then current salary.
