I do agree with this. A combination MBA/experience would have been the most preferable. My hope was that we'd have someone not tied to Sindrasky, alas, that was too much to ask for. We have a serious leadership/mindset problem at this company, imo. It's also unfortunate that this particular "experienced" CEO presided over a company that had its share price crumble to nothing.
In the end... I'd probably take an MBA not tied to Sindrasky over this guy any day.
