Organization

Per my lengthy e-mail yesterday, I am requesting the ability to hire Deirdre McCaffrey from the freight group to my new group. Deirdre is top 5 on any list I would compile on employees I want in any group. Jeanie Slone is preparing Deirdre's bio for your review. Earlier in the year she worked for Hunter and I and wanted an opportunity outside of ENA to understand new product development. She is currently in EGM and was the trader who developed and marketed their diesel product.

So, I need to ensure you are still green lighting the strategic asset group. I am requesting the ability to bring over Deirdre. I would like to bring her over as a director (ask anyone - she's there) and place her under a two year contract with ENA. She is the caliber of Mike Curry and is amazingly rounded for origination - structuring, trading and customer. Delainey and Janet have attempted to get her in EES consistently and Ed has already approached her about a move back to structuring. Hunter and I have spoke with Deirdre and we are both strong on the bid.

Give me your thoughts. I want to talk to Dan (her current supervisor) quickly. She and I have been discussing this move for the last month and for the opportunity she is ready to make this move.
