Hey thank you for your sincere reply. Felt touched. We use DO (not in a big way though). But it always has worked for us.

Just curious, why DO needs an outsider as ceo rather than somebody from founding team?

I have no idea about the specific people here but common reasons: missing skills/experience in the founding team. Sometimes something quite focused such as "have run a public company".
