Chuck I'm surprised you never had a relationship with Scott Imhoff. He
is certainly the guy I'd see you working with at Cambium now. Scott
came over from the Orthogon acquisition if I recall.
But to your point... it is usually a Right Seat, Right Person problem.
As organizations change, be them private/public/for profit/not for
profit inevitably the roles change. Sometimes you can grow and continue
to be the right person in the right seat and sometimes you can't. Look
at for instance CEO changes at Google/Alphabet & Apple where the Founder
was a great Visionary but a poor Integrator and the company outgrew the
person.
This isn't a comment on Tom or Rick... but "pushed out" is typically a
result of something like this.

Just remembering the time when Mot announced 1 million canopy units
sold (I may have the number wrong) at a channel partners meeting in
Tucson. I was surprised that Tom Hulsebosch was sitting at my table.
I was pretty far from the stage, kinda the “kids table”. Normally he
didn’t spend much time with me. Then we learned a few days later that
he got pushed aside so the pros could manage the product line.
We has several new chiefs in pretty rapid succession for a few years
there. I don’t think they ever allowed me to get FCC approved again.
But none of the new bosses really did anything fantastic until Cambium
was spun off. Maybe Phil Bolt did. And he might have helped me with
an FCC approval. But he didn’t fit the mold either it appears.
I know that once Tom was gone I no longer and any kind of friend
inside Mot admin (I did at the engineering level but not admin and
legal).
Seems similar to Rick getting (from my perspective, not trying to
create a disturbance in the force) pushed out of WISPA after he made
it take off.
