This week I was interviewed by a reporter for the San Diego Union-Tribune. He wanted to know my opinion on the rumored move of SAIC’s headquarters from La Jolla to McLean, Virginia. I told him that even if the corporate headquarters moves, I believe SAIC’s presence in San Diego will remain strong. I wonder what you think about such a move.
I recently had lunch with my favorite lawyer John Tischler and a friend of his — Brandon Webb — an ex-Navy SEAL. Brandon is founder and CEO of Wind Zero. It’s amazing to me how bright, young entrepreneurs — many with military backgrounds — start entrepreneurial companies and make a success of them. Brandon couldn’t be more than 35 years old, but he’s already well on his way to rounding up the funding he needs. I gave him some advice on employee ownership, hoping to gain a convert.
