He still owns the company so it doesn’t matter who the CEO is, he is their boss. If he wants to continue making big business decisions then he still can, and if the CEO doesn’t agree he can either fire them or just go over their head.
A CEO is what you get when you agree to hand over the reigns of a company to someone you hire to run it. Yes, you can obviously go over their heads and essentially still run the company, but most CEOs will take issue with that and immediately make moves towards looking for a new company, contract allowing.
I totally agree with you that a typical CEO would not put up with this at all, but then I don’t think this is a very typical situation :D I would assume she knew what she was getting into. He named himself CTO so it’s not like he’s no longer involved in the company, and the CEO can’t really ‘overrule’ him on any product decisions or anything else since he’s technically also her boss.
Now, if he’s smart he will hopefully at least take her opinions/guidance into consideration, but 🤷

Well yeah there is a new CEO
She’s pretty much going to be a figurehead/cannon fodder though, right?
