Reach out with your concerns and watch him parachute in to collaborate. Expect options, risk assessments and straightforward commercial results — without the legalese. His aspiration: Let’s solve pressing workplace issues and then share pictures of our four-legged family members (he’s an equal opportunity pet adorer) or discuss an Office episode.
