Startup Podcast episode about ousting a CEO”
“”
“I listen to the Startup Podcast, by Gimlet Media – each season they follow a set of entrepreneurs/founders through their journey. In season 4, they are following Dov Charney, the founder and former CEO of American Apparel. Episode 9 (https://gimletmedia.com/episode/part-6-anger-season-4-episode-9/), they detail how the board forced Charney out as CEO – it’s a fascinating illustration of the perils and challenges of doing so. It was great listening to it with the perspective I got from this class, so I thought others in the class might be interested as well.
