People Þ rstJacobsen, who has over 19 years experience of the industry, is plan- ning further growth for Dolphin this year (he?s set his sights on revenues of $300m for 2013), but plans to stay true to the principles he founded the busi- ness on.?I invested in people  rst and fore- most, because over the years I?ve learnt that they?re the greatest asset in this in- dustry,? Jacobsen opines. ?Anyone can buy seismic equipment, or charter vessels, but you don?t get anywhere unless you have the talent and the experience to read, understand and adapt to this industry.? He continues: ?I?ve surrounded my- self with the right people and that?s the reason Dolphin has developed so rap- idly. From the outside it might look like we?ve made some bold decisions, but thanks to the experience on the team, they?ve always been well-informed ones.? And there?s nothing contradictory about that.www.seadiscovery.com MTR #5 (18-33).indd 23MTR #5 (18-33).indd 236/4/2013 9:58:33 AM6/4/2013 9:58:33 AM
