Desired Experience
You’ve served in the Air Force for over 20 years.
You have led technology-related projects for DoD to solve pressing problems.

Startup Culture Expectations
Please refer to Elad Gil’s High Growth Handbook for general expectations on what should be “normal” for a company like TurbineOne.
Just like in the White House, you will need to make your own photocopies. No great startup can afford Executive Assistants or most other luxuries.
Every employee will develop quarterly metrics in order to transparently communicate, and objectively measure, one’s own performance.
Everyone on the Team needs to be very comfortable with constant change, moving fast, sharing failures, embracing grit, and building things themselves. Most startups fail and no one will come to save us.
