This is just a quick personal announcement: In the next few weeks, I'll be leaving Alagad to take a position at Booz Allen Hamilton.

I admit that this causes a mixture of emotions for me. On the one hand, Alagad was a great place to work and I'm sad to be leaving. Doug Hughes is a friend and an excellent company owner, and the team at Alagad are a very talented bunch, on top of being all-around nice people. I'll miss working with them. I'm sure we'll still chat, email, and talk over beers at conferences, but I know it won't be quite the same.

On the other hand, the opportunity at BAH was really just too good to pass up. It's a very prestigious organization, and is ranked as one of the best companies to work for in the world. That alone is very compelling. But on a more personal level, I'll once again be working alongside Joe Rinehart. I worked with Joe when we were at Broadchoice (and before that as well), and we got along great and worked very well together. Often, when switching companies, it can be a little scary because one doesn't really know what to expect. So it's nice to be able to have great expectations based on past experience!

So, while sad to be leaving the great folks at Alagad, I'm very excited to be working with Joe again and tackling a different set of problems at BAH. To Doug, Scott, Jeff, and all the others at Alagad, thanks for the good times, hard work, and friendly parting insults. ;-)

And just a quick addition, even though Booz Allen is headquartered in the DC area, I'll be staying in Raleigh.

    Having worked with Joe, Doug and Scott, I can say that it is a great experience working with such smart guys! I know that Joe will be excited to be working with you again and that Doug will be sad to see you leave.

    I would wish you luck, but you have Joe on your side, so you just need your talents! :)

    Thanks guys! Scott, no, I'm staying in Raleigh. I've been asked that a few times so I probably should add that to the entry!
