"Very green" is a bit of a misnomer here—Porter's been the CEO of OMGPOP since 2009, and was a SVP at Richard Branson's Virgin Group before that.

"Moment of weakness" maybe, but not from an inexperienced guy.

"SVP" of "Virgin USA", which was an absolutely minuscule offshoot.

He has been a CEO of a tiny company for two years, prior to that acting essentially as a glorified salesperson. That is absolutely green.

He has 20 years of executive leadership. Irrespective of what you think of the actual job activities or of a particular title, how can you possible color that "green"?

I've never been CEO of anything and even I know when I'm being an asshole.

And president of Teach for America in 1994? That was a pretty well-known organization even at the time, at least in DC.
