> But overall my gut tells me she can't really execute and can only delegate
Gut feelings are not evidence, I suggest taking a step back, give the person a chance and stop being so judgmental.
No offense, but this is why I tend to avoid working at startups, most people running startups are insecure people and decisions are often made based on "gut feelings" rather than from careful planning and evidence.
- When companies put fake graphics on their websites. E.g. the typical small startup who puts corporate/big business graphics in their main web site, rather than real pictures of themselves/their office. Pathetic.
- Asking for registration/login, just to get spammed later with annoying newsletter bullshit.
