GTM change...1 more time !

Good People let go at K2

Sorry to see people let go @ K2. Good product, that is hardened, but terrible marketing. The whole SuperHero theme?? Wonder who is responsible for that.

Dani Golan has his hands full and has good vision, however when Mr. Magoo is running marketing it is difficult for him to see anything.

I wish them Luck in the new strategy.
