Way to go Ted Hull, having your sexually harassing, company destroying best bud collecting a nice package on his way out. Oh, wait Chris has been allowed to stay on as a consultant to the CEO until the end of Q2. A huge kudos goes out to this lady who fought to make sure the female voices at Bako were heard and good riddance. The straw that broke the camels back was a conversation Chris Smith has with another female department head about his wife's lady bits and the procedure to make the bits a bit more taut. The CEO protected him and every negative HR or Compliance complaint buried as to not tip off the VC group (Consonance Capital Partners) that has been scratching their heads as to how a money pit continues to run out of money. Ted Hull is the reason he lasted this long. Nothing happened to him, and I am sure you want to know why? As previously mentioned 90% of the sales force left and was replaced and many of them left because his guidance was garbage.
Furthermore, he consistently used derogatory and sexists remarks to several female department heads that lead to multiple complaints and resignations. Just in the first few months he shared half naked pictures of his wife with the entire sales team at an NSM event leading to his first miss on early dismissal from the company. Lead Bako to their highest grossing year during the pandemic while simultaneously destroying their core business leaving Bako in a worse off position in the wake of the pandemic whereas every single diagnostic lab from San Diego to Bangor, Maine came out cash positive.īut, we are here to speak of how great Chris Smith is and what a fool anyone would be not to hire him. The man caused 90% turnover of the sales team in 3 years. Chris Smith, yes this Christ Smith ( 43 million fine) and yet again this Chris Smith ( Genova Diagnostics settles billing fraud claims for up to $43M) has finally been fired or as he claims "moving on to completely mess up another company" <- copied directly from his LinkedIn profile.
