She was an awful CEO; she was basically a CFO hired to shepherd the company through the IPO (SPAC) process, but the years following were awful. I left right before the board fired her (along with many, many senior people) and hope the company is doing better without her there. Not surprised to see her failing upward.
- austhrow743 2y agoIf your complaint is that she was a fine CFO but a terrible CEO then i can hardly see her going back to a CFO role as failing upwards.

(EDIT: To be clear, I'm agreeing with you.) Instead, she's going back to where she has a track record. It would be like Musk selling Twitter. Or David Marcus going back to 2001 [1].

- whimsicalism 2y agoright, you're agreeing with GP
- nextdoortemp 2y agoYeah I agree with that. OpenAI is obviously a much bigger and more relevant company than Nextdoor, but she is going back to a role she has a proven track record at.
