Leadership Team

The minds behind the madness (and the madness behind the products)

DeRP Inc. executive boardroom

At Definitely Real Products Inc., leadership isn't just a title—it's a state of mind. Specifically, a state of mind that most HR consultants would describe as "concerning." Our executive team brings decades of combined experience in fields ranging from theoretical carpeting to interdimensional logistics, and at least one of them is technically not a person.

Hank Plausible

Hank Plausible

Founder & CEO

“I started this company with nothing but a dream and a surplus of carpet.”

Founded DeRP after a misunderstanding at a pet store. Believes all products deserve a chance, even the bad ones. Has been described as "relentlessly optimistic" by people who mean it as a warning.

Linda Quarterly

Linda Quarterly

Chief Financial Officer

“The numbers don't lie. But they do exaggerate.”

Joined after being fired from a real company for "creative accounting" (she made the spreadsheets too colorful). Under her leadership, DeRP has achieved fiscal results that are technically numbers.

Bartholomew

Bartholomew

VP of Logistics (He's a Sasquatch)

“...”

Does not speak. Communicates through meaningful silences and the occasional thrown filing cabinet. Employee of the Month 47 times. His management style has been described as "towering" and "surprisingly gentle when not throwing things."

Dr. Vivian Void

Dr. Vivian Void

Chief Science Officer

“Science is just magic that fills out paperwork.”

Responsible for the Mosquito Teleporter, Pillow Fridge, and three patents classified by agencies that don't officially exist. Previously held a position at CERN that she is neither allowed to confirm nor deny.

Greg Something

Greg Something

VP of Vibes

“I'm not sure what I do here, but I do it with enthusiasm.”

Greg's exact role remains unclear to everyone, including Greg. He attends all meetings and nods approvingly. Recently promoted from "Guy in the Office." His annual performance review simply reads "present."

Susan Brochure

Susan Brochure

Head of Marketing

“If you can't convince them, confuse them. Then sell them a carpet.”

Created the slogan "Making things you didn't know you didn't need." Previously worked in real marketing but found it "too believable." Once ran a campaign so effective that customers bought a product that didn't exist yet.

A note on organizational structure: DeRP Inc. operates on a "flat-ish" hierarchy. Everyone reports to Hank, except Bartholomew, who reports to no one. Greg reports to meetings. Our org chart was last updated in 2004 and currently lists seven employees who may not exist. We consider this a feature, not a bug.
