Guy isn't living in the real world is he? OK, guess I'm being sexist
assuming that the Pres is a he ;-) This Pres must be extremely paranoid
about possible harassment claims. The only thing you can do is explain to
this person why this mindset needs to be changed and how doing so will make
the product better. If there is still a problem, suggest that you travel
separately from the group.
