Thinking back on my time I've worked with Bryan, I remember him being exactly the right person at the right place at the right time: he created a new business opportunity, got the Board heading in the same direction, and then took on the new business with a great deal of entrepreneurship, keeping one eye on the objectives and the other on the interest of the (numerous) stakeholders. Bryan knows what it takes to get a startup on track, and to keep it running. I've admired his speed and intelligence, being always one step ahead of what the rest was thinking.
