Those were not heavy hitters then. They just convinced the board that they were. I've worked with many of these people. They are terrible.

- yourapostasy 9y agoWhat kind of people would you search for to retain to help sniff out red flags the board might miss in situations like this? I know that it’s in the board’s job description, but who can you hire as a sanity check for such a big decision?
- ggg9990 9y agoSomeone who has done it before at slightly smaller scale. To grow a business from $50m to $200m in five years hire someone who grew a division from $10m to $50m in five years, ideally at a company where not every division grew at that rate.
- bjelkeman-again 9y agoYes I agree. This eventually made me quit and start doing startups. I never wanted to work for people like that again.
