IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING A HIRED GUN CEO make sure they understand your technology. Too often big company Fortune 500 candidates do not feel the need to tackle the nuts and bolts of your business when brought in to manage an emerging company. Flush this out early and make it a NoGo with your board, or you will spend a lot of time, money, and distraction firing the lame duck CEO later.
