Andy Thompson- Managing Director of Aprodex

Jake Speaks with Andy Thompson, Managing Director of Aprodex, The Asset Protection Index. www.aprodex.com

-Aprodex is a one stop shopping portal for everything you might need to support a contract out there in the world.

-130 countries participate, trying to match the buyer to the seller.

-Guys can put up profiles and offer services-and there are even jobs posted!

They also have a leadership and business section called Aprodex in Focus. Businesses can promote themselves through this area. It is a cool area of the website where companies can show the different ways they have used Aprodex.

The final point, and I really like this, is user feedback. Customers can give recommendations and feedback about a service or product. Awesome stuff. –Matt

Podcasts: Combat Operator Radio Interviews David Isenberg

Filed under: Podcasts — Tags: David Isenberg, Podcasts, radio — Matt @ 10:43 PM

Hey folks, check it out. You might know of David through his Dogs of War column at UPI. His book is awesome as well, and certainly worth your time.

As for this interview, David had some excellent ideas and discussed the concept of a Center for Contractor Lessons Learned and talked about the history of contracting in the US. I also liked the discussion about military versus civilian leadership styles in today’s PMC/PSC’s. –Matt

Edit: I took out the part that David has a blog, and he does not have one at this time.

Podcasts: Combat Operator Radio Interviews Doug Brooks, CEO of IPOA

Filed under: Podcasts — Tags: Combat operator, IPOA, Podcasts, radio, security contracting — Matt @ 3:14 PM

This was a great interview between Jake and Doug Brooks of IPOA. The scope of the conversation was outstanding, and both talked a lot about the role of contractors in today’s wars and peace and stability operations. They even discussed the new administration and what the feeling in Washington DC is about the industry.

As for Doug’s predictions–more peace and stability related operations contracts in Africa. Hillary Clinton’s tone will be changing over time, because of the reality of the situation on the ground in places like Iraq.(she was pretty negative on contractors during her Presidential campaign) That contracts in the future will be more about working with local nationals and that to be competitive in the industry, you must show some proficiency working with local nationals.(which in the scope of the industry, is nothing new)

It was a great little podcast at about 27 minutes, and it was a treat to listen and learn a little from these two. Also, as a heads up, Eeben Barlow of Executive Outcomes fame will be on Combat Operator Radio on January 29, 2009. Be sure to check it out. –Matt
