Well, thats a proove how individuals are different in personallity, and i respect your view, however, mine is different.
If CEO attandance would have been a pr tour to prevent another negative fingerpointing action frome some (!) shareholders, ok ready to discuss, if its worth...?
I am fine with him/them not to show up just to listen.
For me the legal strategy of Hoge/TPL/Otteson at NDOC and ITC is done, now its a process.
Yes sometimes for pr reasons a CEO shows up when a new product is leaving production.
But not during the process of development, testing, supply chain, etc.
The Product-MMP is not yet ready (its very close, but not yet ready) for the pr campaing at the showrooms.
