Thanks Noan, quality posting. This is great example as John Hanke is representative of both a successful entrepreneur and also and intraprenuer. From his days working in Foreign Affairs in the US government, he noticed the trends in spatial visualization, recognizing a potential opportunity and creating his venture business to take advantage of this opportunity. At Keyhole Inc, he surrounded himself with what seems like the ideal personnel including a VP of engineering, a director of business development, director of marketing and a director of strategic marketing. Having a strong team in place allowed him to grow the business and execute and exit strategy by selling his business to google. As intrapreneur, John showed bravery and determination by initially suggesting he would leave Google to pursue his ideas, forcing google to rethink their structure and essentially develop a ‘skunkworks’ within their own company. Here again it seems John made a wise decision, choosing to leverage the vast resources of google to nurture and develop his new company (within a company).
