On a recruiting trip to Harvard Business School, Rottenberg met Kellner, who had co-founded a Western-managed independent oil company in Russia, and they scoured Chile and Argentina for people with outsize ideas. "We found a sheep farmer in Patagonia who was a real computer genius but just didn't have the right tools," says Rottenberg, 33. "We only needed to open...
