+Senior director age: Director aged approximately 59 — approaching natural succession window.

60/100

SIGNALS

primary20+ year tenure: Director in role 22 years. Very long tenure is a classic succession signal.
supportingClean filings + long tenure: Disciplined long-tenure operator — classic lifestyle-business pattern that often sells quietly.
