That's why we got CEOs, on the other side of the spectrum who end up being wooden by keeping quiet on all sensitive issues - leaving PIs always uncertain and guessing.
With CF, we can receive so much guidance and visibility that is way beyond any CEO. I, indeed, am very thankful for this and hence why Orph is my biggest investment.
For CF, it can not be easy for him to "stick to the script", to be on live recording to ensure that he is very careful in what he says yet always alluding/ nudging the PI to potential newsflow / what's ahead. In fact, I would be astonished given how much he discloses that if he were not to get timelines / figures occasionally wrong. CF strikes me as someone who is offering help / seeking to share rather than to be boastful and making unsubstantiated claims.
Taking a look further, CF in a bang on trend growing biz like Orph - spot on. Excitable, great prospects, growing, sharing the pie with fellow shareholders - sounds consistent with his personality from what I have observed.
However, put CF as a CEO of a struggling company and I would probably see him in a different light. Things to hide, putting on a brave face, BS factor etc.
