This is better than just hiring an MCSE, but, having dabbled in open source software, I've seen a lot of WTF-worthy code written by people who would fulfill all of those criteria (well, I couldn't honestly say whether you could hold a conversation with them). Is there any such thing as a headhunter who is also a hacker? That would probably be the best solution for the MBA-types, short of taking a few years to learn to hack themselves.
