She realized that this is an important hire and she needed to act quickly and decisively - Check - hired within 2 weeks of her start
She clearly wanted someone with Power 5 AD experience so she was not having to oversee someone having to undergo "on the job" training as a 1st time AD or being an AD at a higher level - Check
She wanted someone with strong fundraising experience - Check
She wanted someone that knows and appreciates the UT landscape - Check
I really respect that she was able to get this done quietly and efficiently with no leaks.
