He's really good at that.
He's also an elegant gentleman.
I think we both like to hire young up-and-comers to be the first head of sales.
And the problem now, like this is a new problem, the problem now with that is that they've never run an international sales team.
And so I had time, like I was talking to one of the founders about this is I had time to like ramp North America, hire a North American lead, ramp Europe, then ramp APJ.
