“To me it’s a commercial decision. In my business I require capability to delve into technical detail and analysis and then be able to articulate and communicate that to stakeholders and external parties. That may require two people with different skill sets but I feel a good ex-military hire can cover 75-85% of that spectrum in a single hire.”
