Just talked to Faiz and wanted to let you know that I didn’t go with him in the end.  
 
He is an amazing, and talented fellow, and I fear that I may have buyer’s remorse some day.  I certainly have had insomnia these past couple of days making the decision.  
 
But I don’t think the fit between him and the rest of the senior management team was quite right.  And his location in DC, with the rest of his staff up here, made me fear for not-ideal work circumstances in what would have been a major change strategy for us.
 
I think he’s hurting a bit.  But I wanted you to know that I loved the guy, appreciate your unequivocal vote of confidence.  And those two things remain even if he doesn’t come here.  
 
Hope you are well.
 
Anthony
