The V2 Board were very happy to see the back of her after such a short tenure. It goes to show just how parlous things were, and how quickly it got to that position. CEO’s earn what they earn because it is a 24/7 role and it becomes your life. Having someone earn half a mil per year and also benefit from a few million dollars in shares and incentives only to work 6 hrs per day Monday to Friday and have the phone switched off at all other times doesn’t match a CEO criteria.
