Presumably you made it through a rigorous process to be hired? And maybe have some background in the space (it looks like you do). I'm a former coder turned CEO. What I see here is a leader who is afraid to let go. And at the same time blocking proven models. And after that you carry the fail-bag. One time, 15+ years ago I joined a small company as an IT Director - reports to CEO - had a pretty good time investment through the interview process. The second day I had similar feeling to what you've expressed. I quit. Sharp talent can find a new gig - quick. Like is too short for you to waste time explaining that 2>1 to folks who are paying you to tell them that - and then ignore you.
