Um, no.  Grumpity () is very senior and has a breadth of experience in a variety of industries and leadership positions to which Patch () cannot yet aspire.  He comes out of a customer service background.  He's done EXCELLENT work, and is indeed responsible for much growth.  He has been rewarded with a VP position, an excellent advance.  Incidentally, in his former role, I believe he reported to Grumpity.

If you've ever listened to interviews with her, she is very knowledgeable about the BUSINESS of LL, as well as about the product.  

But this is moot speculation.  No executives are going anywhere at the moment, lol.

Thank you for sharing with the forum @Patch Linden life story, where he comes from and who he reported to in his former role, thing is, can you source this or is it just speculation? Mentioning LL Employes RL names granted you 2 stars for validation goals, but still, not fair and sort of unnecessary, kind of ? Then I guess that we will have to agree to disagree on this one because I am not one that look down on people just because they work hard their way to the top, but again we might be different and that's ok, ❤️ girl

I've spent decades in venture-funded companies, and I've seen acquisitions be very successful.  But acquisitions by investment firms are delicate beasties - it is easy for them to turn into a liquidation frenzy.  However, in this case, LL doesn't have all that many assets that would bring much, except Tilia. 

Then again, I have felt for a while that @Grumpity Linden would be a logical choice to run LL if Ebbe were to step aside.  Interesting that she commented on this thread, when no one else did.

Not here to stir drama but you spent decades in venture-funded companies and you would promote to CEO someone just because they have the kindness to entertain your thoughts, while completely overlooking how @Patch Linden turned SL around, revived the community and started to give back to residents?  I mean girl, I am commenting too, so I guess I will be the next CEO ;P
