Problem: BODY: I interviewed Analyst/Associate candidates in the office on Saturday, as did four other directors/senior directors from Energy Operations. I completed the evaluations of the four candidates that I interviewed and submitted those, but was unable to stay for the decision meeting after lunch due to commitments to attend a funeral. I talked with Ted Bland this morning and he suggested that I provide you with a list of candidates that could be a fit in Energy Operations. Analysts Tara Piazze - potential fit in one of my risk management operations teams Joseph Piotrowski - AA consulting background; would be a good fit for my operations team focused on EOL (these are ENA employees) -- I need to add

Problem: BODY: I got the memo from Naomi that you sent. First, who is Doug Imrie? Does he have a strong background in trading operations? Will he be able to coordinate effective reviews from a controls perspective, and will he be able to be the front-runner on how MG runs its business so that we will get a jump start on how best to assimilate the business? I think that this effort should be much broader than deal testing. It should encompass assessing people, processes, controls, systems support, etc. To do this quickly and effectively will require persons who are knowledgeable about daily trading operations. I don't know Naomi's background, but I wonder if she will be the right person to lead one of these efforts since she does not work in operations on a daily basis. Patrick Conner left me a message today to be certain that we are plugged in with an appropriate team from ENA to review the Chicago and New York offices. From the sound of Naomi's memo, it looks as if Andy Cornfield is assume to have the US responsibility. Again, I don't know Andy. Should we circle the wagons and develop a plan for doorstep reviews that includes some others in the process, particularly those that have been involved in some doorstep reviews to date and those that have daily operational experience? I have also mentioned Shona as a good resource as well.
