I have never been too impressed with job hoppers.
It usually takes six months to hire someone, have them underperform and then get rid of them.
Not saying that is the case with Mr. Delafield.
Seems rather young too - does he even speak "aviation" at, 27/28, with what seems to be no experience of it I wonder.
My assumption here is that he will be heading a group of technical experts and his job will be to do the diplomatic thing and write reports; not matter who got the job we would all no doubt have concerns and likely the process and the outcome will please no one in the short to medium term.
