NoteThe record claims David Luan was Co-founder and CEO at Adept with an endDate of 2024. The source confirms he was Co-founder and CEO, but indicates he left Adept to join Amazon as part of an acquisition deal where 'Adept co-founders and portions of its team have joined the e-commerce giant.' The source explicitly states 'Zach Brock, head of engineering, is taking over as CEO,' meaning Luan's tenure as CEO ended when he departed to Amazon. While the endDate of 2024 may be approximately correct (the article does not provide a precise date), the source clearly contradicts the implication that Luan remained in the CEO role through 2024 — he departed Adept when the deal was announced. The record's endDate of 2024 is plausible but the source indicates his departure occurred at the time of the Amazon deal announcement, which the source does not date precisely enough to confirm or contradict the exact year with certainty. However, the fundamental issue is that the record presents this as a simple tenure period without indicating he left the role, which the source directly contradicts.
