Charles Liang
According to sources, CEO Liang is a "brilliant technical visionary" whose foresight drove massive revenue growth, but he is also described as "fundamentally unfit to lead."
Liang's "growth at any cost" strategy captured the AI wave, but this founder-centric playbook has dented profitability and led to a 54% drop in forward EPS estimates.
Sources say Liang's autocratic skillset, refusal to delegate, and resistance to governance norms pose escalating risks, evidenced by a delisting, SEC penalties, and ongoing probes.
