Sonic Foundry reviews

CEO, CEO, CEO. Really admired Joe for a while, but his true colors are ugly. Terrible leader, thinks of himself as a great deal maker/team builder/seller and none of those are true. Drove the company into the ground! (what else do you call a CEO who joins a company with ~$4 stock, now delisted and pink slip trading at $0.01?) Terrible idea to have a company like this publicly traded. Starting a tech start-up within a public company again shows the lack of business acumen from Joe/the board. The board is as much to fault as the leadership in the company - they've let this whole process run its course - running up debt, multiple layoffs, drastically declining morale, and yet continue to reward c-suite handsomely.

The good ideas aren't promoted, Instead, CEO's outdated bad ideas he had from another company get all the press and ultimately sank the company. CEO Grade would be D-. Ability to raise capital: B+ to A- Charisma: A Vision for company: F Strategic Plan: F Understanding Market Fit: F Ability to solicit alignment within the company: D Hiring the "right" people: D Ability to Run Public Company: D
