You're being downvoted because having a "product visionary" does not in any way protect your company from being owned. It happens. If your point is that previous leadership would have communicated the situation more clearly, then perhaps you have a point, but even then it's purely speculation and not particularly useful to the current discussion.

It's okay, thanks for the feedback.

Downvotes don't bother me, they are a welcome signal.

in this context "pwned" is probably a better fit; natch?
