How does you being annoyed by the reporting on a CEO's daycare situation, let us deduce that this CEO was not hired based on merit?

Sorry, I wasn't trying to imply that. I don't think she was a diversity checkbox so much as a 'small world in silicon valley' unmeritorious hire, with the diversity checkbox as maybe a small plus.

She didn’t compete. She was a placement pick coming from google where she was essentially a non contributing member of the google adwords leadership team.
