Thadeus Batt
Chief technology officer and managing partner, SpireMedia Inc.
• "Hire the smartest, most talented person you can find for every position."
"Smart and talented people know where to go to find answers and get information quickly," Batt said. "They also work faster and produce higher quality work, which requires less review and remediation."
Batt says by surrounding himself with bright and creative employees, he has had the opportunity to learn new things and solve problems for the company's clients more effectively.
"It pays to have one highly talented developer working on a project rather than two midlevel developers. The project gets done faster and with fewer problems."
