“Nobody knows the market like Larry Watanabe. He is sensitive to all the nuances, the intangibles, the pace and the short and long term horizon. Larry is a unique repository of industry information, the kind that only comes from having lived it, in the trenches, like he has and unlike most of his competitors. He will not mince words or avoid hard truths, an indispensable quality for a trusted advisor. In the end nobody finds the shortest line from where you are standing to where you need to be as efficiently as Larry does. I hope not to do this again, but if I do, it will be with the benefit of Larry’s guidance.”
