The startup CEO accused of firing employees before their stock options vest admits: 'I can be hard edged'
Summary
Orion Hindawi, the CEO of Tanium, has just posted an open letter after news stories broke this week that accused him of a litany of bad behavior. The hospital also told Business Insider that it was unaware that the company was accessing parts of its live network and showing it to Titanium prospects and that it is now "investigating." As for accusations of brutish behavior, Hindawi took a lesson from PR crises 101 by including a come-clean section in his letter where he explained himself, admitting he "can be hard-edged" and that the company can be "a stressful environment." Unless you explicitly provide it to us (which the vast majority of our customers never should or would) we do not have access to your on-premises installation of Tanium, and won’t ask for it unless we’re helping support you and only for that purpose. Since 2015, we’ve insisted that before a customer is willing to let us demo from their environment, regardless of the access they offer us, we document that in writing and agree on what data we can show to ensure there isn’t any confusion.
