Thinking culturally, I believe Arrows are truly interested in matching the right people to roles. To give an example, Alex Lonergan had clearly taken the time to understand my strengths and experience. She consequently introduced me to Richard Walker. Richard had an exciting opportunity to build a complete development team in Sky. Richard moves quickly! We completed proposals, established the resource plan by interviewing stakeholders in Sky and then started hiring. Will Nelson helped find great talent at a blistering pace and I conducted fruitful interviews with Richard for the new Scala team within a few weeks. A crucial item to note here is that our resource plan had a granularity down to finding people who would fit together quickly for immediate productivity. Consequently, I am now the Scrum Master for one of the strongest teams I have worked with in 20 years!
