Re: Another TAVA hiring coup: Rick Cowles, former Y2K PM for DEC

Rick's Biography from his web site:
Rick Cowles is one of the leading national experts on the Year 2000 (Y2K) computer problem. His extensive analysis of the Y2K issue in the pharmaceutical and electric utility industries is featured weekly in his column for Westergaard 2000, a service of the Westergaard Publishing Corporation. Rick is a frequent guest on National Public Radio's The Y2K Investor program, and is a founding member of the Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility's Y2K Working Group. He is currently serving as the Year 2000 Program Manager - Utilities for Digital Equipment Corporation, headquartered out of Digital's Albany, NY office.

He began his career in the commercial electric utility industry in 1980, after serving six years on nuclear submarines in the U.S. Navy. Over the next 17 years, he worked in both the power generation and business ends of the industry. He's spent time on the shop floor, in the board room, and control room. His information systems experience spans that entire timeframe, from System 38 and Tandem NonStop II system operations to an SAP distributed system implementation and Year 2000 program management in both the electric and pharmaceutical industries.

I had the pleasure of hearing Rick speak today at a Y2K conference in NY and talking to him afterwards about TAVA. Suffice to say he brings with him extensive industry contacts which should very quickly establish a revenue stream for TAVA in the electric utilities industry. Anyone who takes the time to read Ricks web site or book will quickly realize just how extensive the problem is in that sector.
