I did, but not much. He was always pleasant to me but not involved in what I
was doing. I never understood where he fit into the organization. I dealt
mostly with Tom and Tom until they were no longer there.

Chuck I'm surprised you never had a relationship with Scott Imhoff. He is
certainly the guy I'd see you working with at Cambium now. Scott came over
from the Orthogon acquisition if I recall.
But to your point... it is usually a Right Seat, Right Person problem.
As organizations change, be them private/public/for profit/not for profit
inevitably the roles change. Sometimes you can grow and continue to be the
right person in the right seat and sometimes you can't. Look at for instance
CEO changes at Google/Alphabet & Apple where the Founder was a great Visionary
but a poor Integrator and the company outgrew the person.
This isn't a comment on Tom or Rick... but "pushed out" is typically a result
of something like this.

Just remembering the time when Mot announced 1 million canopy units sold (I
may have the number wrong) at a channel partners meeting in Tucson. I was
surprised that Tom Hulsebosch was sitting at my table. I was pretty far from
the stage, kinda the “kids table”. Normally he didn’t spend much time with me.
Then we learned a few days later that he got pushed aside so the pros could
manage the product line.
We has several new chiefs in pretty rapid succession for a few years there.
I don’t think they ever allowed me to get FCC approved again.
But none of the new bosses really did anything fantastic until Cambium was
spun off. Maybe Phil Bolt did. And he might have helped me with an FCC
approval. But he didn’t fit the mold either it appears.
I know that once Tom was gone I no longer and any kind of friend inside Mot
admin (I did at the engineering level but not admin and legal).
Seems similar to Rick getting (from my perspective, not trying to create a
disturbance in the force) pushed out of WISPA after he made it take off.
