That placeholder for the VP of Finance never gets the financials done, and the VP of Marketing talks and talks but hasn’t ever worked with a sales team. When you hire that VP of Engineering who never learns the product, it doesn’t work. There is a 0% chance it works. Founders need to be honest about it, though.
