Your assessment makes perfect sense to me. What do you think about having
Nels make the call to Lundquist just to find out what his status is, what he might look for when his current assignment is over, etc. (obviously without identifying us -- presumably Nels would have reason to talk to him anyway in the normal course of business)? I am not wedded to the idea but am inclined toward at least getting the information, unless you see a problem. Linda Robertson 03/13/2001 02:16 PM To: Steven J Kean/NA/Enron@Enron, Richard Shapiro/NA/Enron@Enron cc: Subject: Andrew Lundquist I got your message about Andrew. He would be an excellent catch. However, I see a couple of significant problems. My guess is that Andrew is too senior for this position, particularly after having chaired the Cheney task force. Also, I would not anticipate that he would be available for several months, if then. We should fill this position immediately. We are already missing opportunities because this position is vacant. As for our search, using Korn Ferry, I have narrowed the field to two very good candidates. I am setting up time for Rick to interview these candidates next Monday. The first candidate is Drew Maloney with Rep. Tom Delay's office. Drew would give us enormous visibility in House Republican leadership circles, seems trustworthy, and capable of learning most of the substance of the energy portfolio. Drew has strong networking skills, which I think would nicely fit with Tom's strategic and technical skills. The second candidate is John Shelk, whom I have known for nearly 15 years. John was the lead Republican staff on the House Energy and Commerce Committee under Norm Lent. John left the Committee in 1992. Since then John has worked in the financial services and gaming industries, where he has enhanced his political and Republican networking skills. John in very short order would have extremely strong technical skills, atlhough he has been away from the industry for eight years. I believe both candidates bring different but very strong talents to the job. I have a second opening for an enviromental advocate. I am discussing with Rick the possibility of whether we could redirect one of these candidates (probably John) to that slot. That said, please let me know if I should have Nels pursue Andrew.
