This morning, he had a conversation with Maximoff about H.M.C. Philanthropies. With Ernest being officially gone from the company, the board instated Charlie as interim CEO. But Charlie has no desire to stay in that position. I was there when he said to Maximoff, “It’s yours, if you want it. If not, you can find someone else to fill the role. It’s not something I want to do forever.” Maximoff nodded slowly. “I have to think about it.” “I knew you would,” Charlie said into a laugh.
