"Who is this?" The night I was fired, the CEO called at 11:47 p.m. demanding the $206 million deal I had built.
Jeffrey Hughes, a corporate development VP, finds serious problems in a hospital-tech acquisition. When he refuses to sign off on inflated numbers, he loses his job. Then the CEO calls him in the middle of the night, and a board packet is due at eight.
▸ A growth chart that looks too perfect to be real
▸ One clause in the memo put Jeffrey's name in the deal
▸ Every version of the model left a record
