"Very green" is a bit of a misnomer here—Porter's been the CEO of OMGPOP since 2009, and was a SVP at Richard Branson's Virgin Group before that.
"Moment of weakness" maybe, but not from an inexperienced guy.
- huggyface 15y agoPorter's been the CEO of OMGPOP since 2009, and was a SVP at Richard Branson's Virgin Group before that. "SVP" of "Virgin USA", which was an absolutely minuscule offshoot. He has been a CEO of a tiny company for two years, prior to that acting essentially as a glorified salesperson. That is absolutely green.
