I think Chad fucked everything up with his arrogance and self admiration, not listening to RS or the people around him. His tipping point comments were the last straw for Amazon and other partners. Chad saying partners like Amazon were working with Veritone to make aiWare better nearly every day, or creating a new HR tech standard with Amazon. Amazon had enough. Probably same with Microsoft.
So with these partners throwing in the towel over Chad's hubris, the Board saw that Chad had to go. So they gave him a fat consulting contract in order to step down as CEO.
