[M4IF Technotes] Seeking a Video Networking VP Engineering (Cupertino, CA)

[Thomas Crawford]

All, 
I've been networking my brains out on a search that I'm doing and Rob
Koenen suggested that someone in the group might be able to help.
First of all, I'm an Executive Recruiter with Essential Solutions, Inc.,
a San Jose-based, retained recruitment firm & our company specializes in
placing key executive leadership into venture-backed startups.  One of
our areas of emphasis is the convergence space of real-time voice, data
and video over IP.
I'm working on a secured search for a VP of Engineering for a Cupertino,
CA based company that develops real-time, networked video applications
over IP - emphasis being security applications - for the Office of
Homeland Security & the Department of Defense, as well as for the
transportation sector and other enterprise customers. 
This is a well funded Series A start-up company with existing customers
and a core team of 22 people in place.  In addition to previous VPE/CTO
leadership experience, we are looking for:
BASELINE
	-	10+ years experience
	-	Strong knowledge of networking software development
practices
	-	Knowledge of video networking platforms, processes &
protocols
	-	Knowledge of video technology market, including the
primary video industry players & their offerings using MPEG-2, MPEG-4,
and hand-held technology providers.
DESIRED
	-	Motion JPEG, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 video development
experience
Does anyone happen to know a person who would be a good fit for this
position?  I would be happy to share more details if it would be
helpful.  Thanks in advance for any thoughts or suggestions.
