He’s a marketer and his job is to generate attention and surface up business development opportunities. I would not want to sit next to the guy on a long plane ride but I think he deserves some credit for doing his thing well. If you don’t put much credence in his actual work, at least consider that he made up a role for himself where he doesn’t have much competition and probably has profited handsomely.
