You have the job at Leica to present to the board the roadmap for the next decade of the M line evolution

Believe me, as the CEO of the last 35 years in the largest companies  - the Board of Directors of Leica is interested in profit in the next quarter (not even next year). And this is exactly what they will ask the CEO. And I'm damn glad that I don't work as CEO anymore))) I'm retired, friends))

Without side tracking the thread this is the scourge of non family owned companies, short term thinking rather than a long term horizons. The worst is the pump and dump of PE/VC/hedgies. Having said that, family owned businesses have their own set of problems.

The company name might be a hundred years old but the current investment company from Austria and PE outfit Blackstone who now own & run it aren’t. Although at least ACM, the majority shareholder is both family owned and avowedly long term.
