Senior management (director and above) are some of the worst I've seen in my career. Political hacks with virtually no tech game, causing an exodus of top-notch tech talent to competitors. Verisign senior management wouldn't recognize talent if it walked up and bit them in the nose.
One of two options:
-
Sell the company and return value to shareholders while it's still there; or
-
Merge with a stronger company to provide revenue diversity.
