Looking for a few good men

Enterra's plate fills in ways both exciting and very challenging. The excitement is easy enough to process: we've got the goods and chutzpah necessary to take advantage of situations where others have not stepped up.

The challenge portion, which stopped being about money a while back, is all about pulling in enough talented people.

As the reputation rises, getting talent interested isn't the problem, although we try not to poach people toooo much. Rather, it's just the time and effort involved in shifting them out of their own exciting careers into something even better (certainly more wide open, with attendant payoff opportunities) with us.

Right now we're looking for some senior players who can handle themselves at any and all high levels in the IC, DoD, and the executive branch (both our gov and others)--basically the kind of individuals who can't move from one shop to another without sending off ripples. We've avoided that level of effort in the past, by and large, because we've kept an appropriately low profile for a start-up. But within months we're going to be operating at a very different level--the kind people chronicle in books.

So we're looking rather openly now for talented seniors who will be sorely missed at the places they leave.

If you know of such people or are one yourself, please contact me ASAP.

Enterra intends to make some history in the next couple of years. Should be a ride well worth taking.
