I believe Matt Allard is in the middle however other 
names to ask questions of may be...

http://www.avid.com/company/execbios.html

-David 
A. Krall, President and Chief Executive Officer “we will never abandon an 
existing user base”
-Dana Ruzicka, Vice President (publicly heard saying in 
public that there is no money to be made in the high end market)
-Joseph 
Bentivegna, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Avid Video 
-Michael 
J. Rockwell, Chief Technology Officer 

Have you seen these people in your 
marketplace? Have they visited your operation to better understand what you need 
from their products? How can we expect innovative products without active 
participation from the key people leading Avid's future development?

Some 
other questions to ask may be...

Has Avid allowed itself to become 
distracted by Apple & FCP?
Has Avid lost focus on its core market?
Has 
Avid become a corporate behemoth that is no longer innovative?
How does Avid 
dictate to the market instead of listening to the market?
Does Avid lack 
visionary understanding of their core market needs?
Has Avid become too 
focused on short term, quarterly goals and lacks any long term 
strategy?

As Rick Said he has passion about his work. As Artist / 
business people / and investors I would hope that the corporation / market that 
we have helped build and pay for would be willing to partner with the people 
that keep it going into the future.
