A post from last week concerning the Managing Director at Halpern.
<snip>
From bios offered at Halpern's web site, it appears that the more senior telecom analyst from the firm is Tony Tristani. Wonder if Tony is a mentor type for Frank, or if Frank is/was making a name for himself at the firm? Do you think title of Managing Director allows Tony to direct Frank? Has anyone contacted Managing Directory Tony? Maybe a newbie being reeled in here.
