Travis fits the mold of a ruthless kind of CEO, always pushing the ethical line as far as he can get away with. Bill Gates in his first incarnation as ruthless CEO has engaged in all sorts of questionable behavior. For example, interview a bunch of people from a rival, figure out who's key, and hire them all away at once. Or structure the agreement with IBM to eventually own the rights to Windows, then screw IBM over by slow-pedalling and malingering on OS/2, and then release Windows in co-ordination with the newly created clone PC market, which he relentlessly encouraged behind IBM's back. Note that I'm not judging - I have come to realize (sadly) that a certain ruthlessness may be necessary for large-scale success in business, especially in the tech industry.
