“When a PE firm with an activist investor reputation bought a controlling stake in the company, I knew I was in for a fight. They fired me without good cause, triggering my Change in Control benefits. They refused to pay my CIC benefits, falsely accused me of poison pill tactics and sued me personally for $9.4 million.
Then they waged a PR campaign against me. Rogge and I fought back and on the morning we started trial, they settled and paid me $2.8 million—a $12.2 million swing in my favor. And, my actions and reputation were vindicated in a New York Times article.”
