He’s still the majority shareholder and effectively in control. I am the new CEO and he is my boss through his role as chairman. I talk to him a couple times a week.
- gnicholas 4y agoThanks for sharing. Is there a way to get in touch? I had chatted with Ev about a collaboration a few years back and would be interested to find out if our tech (which increases reader engagement) would be a fit for the direction you're taking Medium. My contact info is in my profile. Either way, good luck! I will look forward to seeing what you have in store.
- cercatrova 4y agoIf he's still in control, how does being the CEO work? Isn't he still basically the chief executive decision maker at the end of the day even though you are named CEO?
- tonystubblebine 4y agoThis is board dynamics. The CEO runs the company but the board decides whether the CEO keeps their job. Since Ev controls the board he is effectively the decision maker on my job. Thus he is my boss. I talk to him because he knows a lot and we had a prior working relationship. It ends up that he is my sounding board and advisor. But he doesn’t make decisions or plans or lead the teams.
