As an individual you are free to say whatever you please.

As the CEO of a large organization, you are not. You are the face and voice of an organization. You speak for its employees and you are accountable to its shareholders. You are held to a higher standard and your every word/action is scrutinized. If your shareholders are afraid that your speech/actions will hurt the bottom line of the company, you will be removed from your position.

Profit != Justice


What exactly is your argument?

If you have strong views, you can express them in private, or you can head an organization that is dedicated to/aligned with those views.

Freedom to say whatever you want, whenever is not justice either.
