It seems like Segway is looking for a new VP of Marketing.

The part I find interesting is that the salary is listed as "base plus stock." As I understand it, unless there is an IPO that stock isn't going to be worth much. Is this a hint of things to come? I know this topic has been hashed to death and I don't know what is coming but consider the description.

The ideal candidate will have a passion for transportation, possess an advanced degree, strong program management skills and experience working in a publicly traded technology company.

I put this here since, strictly speaking, this topic is not about the product but the company so...

Thoughts?
