I work as CTO in a small company. The vicepresident of the company signed a friend of him as a senior SW engineer.
The reality is that he is a nice guy, but technically obsolete, and quite out of context due to his previous experience. Up to the point that I trust way more in other younger engineers.
Honestly, I should report the situation and don't give him senior tasks. But the vicepresident is convinced that this guy is the best SW engineer in the world.

What would you do?
