“It’s not unfamiliar territory for me, I went so far and I’ve met a number of persons in national security and a number of them are quite familiar to me because I would have been in national security in some part of my life and some of those people who I worked with many years ago they are now in leadership in national security so the learning curve will not be as difficult as some may think”
