Hey, no argument here on having the discussion, the bashers have disappeared and we've been having some more healthy discussion amongst investors.
We do know for a fact that Slader was hired by Power Brands to handle accounts for Level 5, she acknowledged as much several times on her Twitter account in responses to investors who wished her well and even posted that L5 would be really looking good in 2014, but her LinkedIn account was never updated to reflect this. When the company went silent after the PR that they had signed key accounts and they were legally obligated to keep some things from public view, Slader's Twitter was set to private.
So now her LinkedIn shows she has a position with New Dutch Water Company in New York, but the Power Brands position has never been added, as either a current or former position to her profile. Darin Ezra, the head of Power Brands and one of our board members, does have recommendations for her experience though on her profile. Power Brands also just so happened to open a New York office in the same time frame that Slader now has a position that brings her to New York? Hmm...
At worst she is no longer with Power Brands anymore, but with Power Brands now also coincidentally in NYC, it could very well be that New Dutch Water is now a client of PB in New York and she moved to handle that account or she is wearing different hats and doing that while also working on the L5 accounts she has to legally be publicly silent about. Either way if we got a whole bunch of accounts and have all we can handle, she needs to do something else for now.
Don't forget too that us MINErs are some crazy investors, per our Chairman we almost lost Avanzar and destroyed our first market because investors were showing up at the distributor in person and calling them. A lot of people were posting on Slader's Twitter account as well about the company, so I think a combination of the gag order and constant contact from MINErs led her to make her account private and probably not add the L5/Power Brands info to her LinkedIn account until things settle down.
Just my opinion, but if she has moved on or just working on other stuff (possibly still for Power Brands), Power Brands is suddenly expanding to the East Coast and their CEO is on our board and we are working on one of his products, so that is the most important connection and they now have an East Coast office.
