Wow! -52% from the 52 week high. Marcus and the BoD chose poorly. What an unmitigated disaster. Maybe we can finally stop promulgating the fantasy that all you need is an MBA. Maybe . . . maybe your executives should have actual experience in the relative business.

GWRE decided they would embrace the Cloud, to the exclusion of actual insurance knowledge. How is that working out? Oh wait. Yeah -52%. The board needs to clean house, starting with the chairman.

CEO is out of his depth. The “Chief Product Manager” is by most accounts clueless about the insurance industry.
