Yes, Leslie absolutely should be managing the company and nothing else! Glad we are on the same with that...

Wait! What does this company do??

They are a clinical-stage biotech company.

Hmmm, it sounds like they need an expert in clinical trials running the company, then...

Yep, exactly!

But hold on, aren't clinical trials....well...science!?

IMU doesn't make any money. The only way they will make money is to sell/license their therapies. The only way they will be in a position to license their therapies is to produce data. They produce data by running trials. They need to invest money to run trails. They need even more money to run them fast. At running trials, Leslie is fantastic at her job. Does being fantastic at your job mean you are perfect or infallible? No.
