TerraCycle’s staff has grown quickly. In 2008, we had about 35 employees, all in the United States. We now have about 100, including 70 or so in the United States and 30 abroad, managing operations in 14 foreign countries. Given our anticipated growth, I expect we will have 125 employees around the world by the end of 2012. I guess some of my views about hiring are unconventional. While I have lectured at many of the major business schools in America, including Harvard and Wharton, I have no formal management training. Most of what I have learned has been through trial and error. And I’ve made plenty of errors, so many that the list is almost endless — for example, hiring senior folks who dazzled me with their credentials and experience until I figured out that they were positioning themselves to take my job.
