I find that statement massively judgmental. You are applying a negative stereotype to senior management - older people are out of touch. Usually seniority does not come at the start of a career and I feel certain that your senior management are on average older than the more junior staff.
I think you need to work on treating people as individuals rather than as stereotypical members of a group. You feel comfortable stereotyping older people. Try slotting in any other protected characteristic and see how that sounds.
