My non-lawyer take:
"Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the CEO"
This sounds like a conversation.
If they accept you go through the red tape of having your idea declared as exempt and you are fine.
If they don't accept you need to choose between your current employer and your ideas.
I tend to choose employers and contracts based on whether this is doable or not.
- philipswood 4y agoAbout the CEO is too busy: Usually there is a business process to declare outside interests that involves approvals from your direct manager and his manager and doesn't require you to talk to the CEO directly. They keep a central register of declarations that the CEO rubber stamps. Maybe you can ask HR/Legal about getting that instituted. If this doesn't work it might be a clear signal that your current employer might not be aligned with your long term goals.
