Almost everything most people in here have said. plus They must have a strong network in the industry, so they can hire and poach the best from their network. They must know how to hire. They are not going to be the ones that are doing the actual work so they need a competent team. They must know enough to listen and make decisions. It's not enough to have a team if you won't listen to them. You must be competent enough to listen to them that if someone comes to you and asks for $100,000. You can gauge that it's a smart spend and authorize it quickly. Security is not one of those things you can sit on and wait on.
