Other companies end up never booking what I want and I end up wasting time and money going to the airports.

I think he'll be a great asset to this kind of company..... It's pretty bizarre to state that he had nothing to do with the success of Photobucket - he helped drive a lot of revenue to the company, and provided strategic and execution guidance. Proof is the pudding - Alex (CEO) promoted him. Peter will know how to focus and execute – something a lot of startups are lacking. I think he’ll be a great asset to this kind of company…..
