Conversation with Ultra Electronics AMI about Jon Rice

I just got off the phone with the HR representative at AMI and he could not speak higher of Jon Rice. Concerning his personality, work ethic, and ability to get things accomplished, he is top notch. Some of the highlights of the conversation were:

-Jon worked at AMI from 2002 until Jan. 2015 and was hired on as one of their first few employees.
-He started out as a Chemical Engineer working with fuel cells and small projects initially, but worked his way up doing many jobs including performing management duties over the time that he was employed.
-He learned customer service and how get and manage military DARPA contracts including writing and presenting proposals for new contracts.
-He was a key player in the successful growth of AMI from almost nothing to a $7-9 million company.
-He is dedicated, positive, friendly, energetic, and can get results while being extremely frugal and maximizing income.
-He enjoys working at small companies and growing them.
-He was good at working projects solo as well as working with a team.
-He was trusted with more confidential info than most employees and was even screening e-mails to ensure that no confidential data was released and export compliance was met.
-The reason he went back to school was for personal improvement and to help the company succeed in his new management duties.
-He recently decided to quit AMI due to the general lack of interest in fuel cell technology and the branch gradually downsizing. They did ask him to stay, but he felt that KBLB would be a better opportunity for him.


Honestly, I am surprised that Kim could get him for only $120k. Everything that I was told was good and it seems like he is just what KBLB needs to succeed.
