Denmark has two princes as well. The younger pulled some strings so he also got a previously non-existent job as sort of a liaison officer tasked with communication between danish and french military. Since they are both in the EU and the NATO together, one wonders how necessary his job is.
He set up offices on the top floors of a nice hotel in Paris ?
It's what they do these days.

Seriously though, sounds like a PR-stunt on both ends

This was my first thought. But then again, like many posting here, I have no real idea what his job will entail and whether he will earn his paycheck or not. Or if he'll even receive one or just give it to charity.

Having no concept of such things, nor his qualifications for said post, I really have no worthwhile thoughts on the matter.

"Or if he'll even receive one or just give it to charity."

Much more the former than the latter. I read today his salary could be up to seven figures :oops:

Yes he lost his mother at a young age which is always sad but this seems to qualify him to advise other folks on their own mental health issues. This I find quite astonishing and a little worrying.

Let's see how it all pans out.

Regards,

Jay.

Is that what he is doing? Advising others on their mental health issues? What are the responsibilities and duties of his position?

I've only ever seen CIOs in the non-profit world, but in those organizations it is most commonly a community engagement, philanthropic fundraising, and grant liaison position. In mental health non-profits someone holding this position would not have any direct contact with any client or provide therapy/advice to clients of any kind.

Sounds like the corporate equivalent of being an "influencer". When did humanity sink so low that being an "influencer" is a badge of prestige?
just wait till you start reading more about this thing called history. It's the study of how humans have been totally batshit crazy since at least the point they started writing things down. Gosh even if you just read up on some of the crazy things Victorians thought where good fun time activities.

What do these people influence? Nothing that I know.
They influence people to spend more time on the app. Which then leads to more views of ads, which then leads to better ad viewing statistics, which then leads to more ad revenue for the app.

Victorians! You mean like some British officer of the Raj keeping a beautiful Indian concubine in the back of his tent? Often reprehensible, certainly not bat shit crazy. Victorians knew how to have fun.

Ok so they mean within the apps. I really did always wonder what they meant by “influencer” as most people outside of the app would have no idea who they are.

So rape of indigenous peoples is fun? I know you’re a boomer but think a bit.
