Peter Zieve's Electroimpact Invests in Washington State Education
CEO Peter Zieve today released an opinion piece outlining how the success and growth that Electroimpact has enjoyed comes from focusing on the best talent.
I hire the best talent, no matter where they come from. But most of my most talented employees were educated in the US. Top US Universities conduct inventive research that is not done anywhere else.”
MUKILTEO, WASHINGTON, UNITED STATES, July 26, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Today, Peter Zieve released an explanation of his reluctance to hire employees via the H1-B visa program. In a first-person op-ed, he shared how his company Electroimpact has been successful by only hiring employees who have attended universities and colleges in the United States. In his opinion and experience, no nation has better universities than the the United States has. In the op-ed, he also shares his disbelief in the CEOs and presidents of large corporations who claim that they cannot find qualified employees in the United States. — Peter Zieve
Zieve shares his business model, which involves hiring engineers who can work independently on projects that they initiate. His employees are given autonomy to develop projects from ideas to sales. He even encourages them to get to the point where the projects require spare parts and accessory products, too. His business model has been so successful that he has been able to take Electroimpact into other countries. Zieve argues that he hires his employees and pays them quality wages so they want to continue working for him. He also argues that employees who are hired with H1-B visas become like “indentured servants” to the corporations that bring them into the US.
Electroimpact also specifically supports education in his home state of Washington. More than a dozen of his employees first became connected to the company during high school. Today, company engineers work with high school students on FIRST Robotics projects. Zieve also supports his engineers working on high-tech university projects so they can work side-by-side with students who are studying to be engineers. He vehemently supports education, which is only expected due to the fact that Zieve has a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Washington and an MS and BS from The Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He credits that education with giving him the idea to build Electroimpact as a haven for the most talented engineers who want to make an impact in the aerospace manufacturing industry.
