The reserve's research director set out to discover what was going on: were these lions unique, had something changed or had they detected a weakness in their new prey?

He told me that he would visit his research groups on a daily basis and this was an inspiration and example of what a 'hands-on' research director should be.

We first demonstrated it to the research director.

He was promoted to research director, and later worked in the companys consumer and venture capital divisions.

From 1996 to 1999 he was appointed as research director and head of the research department in the same place.
