One time they let her speak publicly it turned out to be a disaster. She never had any say and worst part is she was not even a good fall guy, it was clear who’s pulling the strings. The most immaterial and inconsequential hire ever.

I love all the replies on Twitter thanking her but during her time the valuation dropped 80% and they were suing advertisers for not advertising. Remarkably inept.

That already happened before she got onboard.

One time? She has spoken publicly many times. Care to share more about what you are referring to? I have no recollection of such a thing being done by her.

It's not easy to recover from your unpredictable boss shouting "FU" to your advertisers from a stage.
