Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's role was primarily managerial or executive. The director concluded that the small staff size, with only two subordinate employees, indicated the beneficiary was primarily performing day-to-day operational tasks rather than exclusively managerial or executive duties.
