Interesting news out of Singapore, surely with heavy element of publicity seeking.
The corporate lawyer in me has many questions about this. Surely being 'Chief X Officer' does not mean also being a board member (which was reported some places), and beyond the usual suspects of Finance, HR, Product, ... one can probably have any 'Chief X Officer' one desires, but I do wonder, fr example:
- whether the Singapore corporate laws have anything to say about this;
- whether the SEC (as responsible for the company's New York Stock Exchange public listing) has thoughts on this;
- how this would work in practice re D&O insurance, decision making, etc...
Interesting times!
