As a long-time business advisor and angel investor, I’m a believer that “two heads are better than one” in building a new business.

All partners have compatible work styles.

Because I am true to the hiring practices I preach, I wanted a strong exec who would “ punch above their weightclass ” by taking a job they hadn’t yet done but would hugely aspire to and thus work harder to out perform. In the same year they won Business Insider’s Startup competition. Nice sweep!
