Positives: 1. He's been there long enough to get acquainted, but havent been there too long to have been part of CPQ's goof ups and terrible mis-management. 2. Few Transition issues: He seems to understand the problems and challenges (a concept that everyone in the world seemed to grasp except for Mason and Pfeiffer). 3. He's ready for change: He seems very focussed on a strategy and game plan. 4. He comes from a Tech background: No burning the midnight oil over a computer manual. He also understands manufacturing efficiency- supply chain management. Critical asset to address CPQ's failure to streamline operations. 5. He's direct and a good communicator: Never underestimate the importance of being able to communicate. Hopefully this will carryover to customer relationships. 6. He seems excited: Attitude attitude attitude. being positive is essential when youre at the top. being nervous usually means you have something to hide. JMHO.... we'll see what happens.
