My former CEO invested significantly in training (I personally received well over $250k worth, including leadership lessons from 2 weeks reliving D Day with military men, rowing with National champion coaches at Yale, etc.) and used to say people challenged him with « what of you spend all this money to train them and they leave? », to which he replied « what if we don’t train and develop them and they stay, isn’t that way worse? »

Have you tried Googling that phrase? Seems like lots of people are your former CEO.
A CEO repeating a well known phrase isn't really out of the ordinary.
You know what would be even better? If you received those 250k in cash.
