That’s exactly what it’s supposed to mean. How big of a loophole it is remains to be seen. Would this loophole fit $300,000/year McKinsey consultants? Would it fit $75.000/year Accenture engineers? The idea is that the CFO people are compensated so highly that they’re not substantially harmed by the existence of the non compete. Losing out on a $100 million opportunity when you made $10 million in the last 4 years is much, much less painful than losing out on a $130,000 opportunity when you made $70,000 last year. Granted, a lot of CFOs are making $300,000 or sometimes even less. But they are seen as having a lot of power to destroy a business. Another way this works is that people like Anthony Levandowski could get a “CTO” esque title to go along with their stratospheric salary so that the non compete is still strictly binding in Colorado, even absent proof of trade secret violations.
