WildAid Reviews

Not much negatives to list

My experience observing the CEO as people manager revealed behaviors that appeared ineffective, dictatorial, obsessive, pedantic, argumentative, and lacking emotional intelligence. I witnessed and heard about assertive women routinely targeted and forced out of the organization. In my opinion, the other two senior executives behaved cowardly when conflicts arose between the CEO and employees. They appeared unwilling and unable to manage upward, or to support their employees through the dysfunctional environment created by the CEO. WildAid is an analog organization losing relevance in a digital world. It has has no strategy to connect the CEO's dated "vision" to his myopic and repetitive suite of tired tactics. Rather than address these failings, the he and his hand-picked pay-to-play board of major donors seemed more interested taking their families on luxury wildlife trips and socializing with obscure "celebrity" ambassadors. It is sad to see smart and accomplished people fall for the CEO's vapid razzle-dazzle showmanship. Meanwhile, staff continues to turnover and over again as newly-recruited talents become discouraged and disaffected. Don't be fooled; the emperor has no clothes. Apply elsewhere.
