An architect who understands TIBCO and has an idea about ETL tools: Informatica, IBM or Abinitio.

A strong .NET architect is a good starting point. there is a lot of exposure to TIBCO issues. This person is good a TIBCO (but not an expert). This person needs to understand TIBCO and know who to engage, and ensure that issues are being resolved. The responsibilities include being aware of and following up on global issues. For example there are a few issues related to messages not showing up in a TIBCO queue, and another where the messages are there but the "subscriber" is not working. There is also another where the size of the message in the queue might be the problem....and so on. So an application architect that understands the patters associated with TIBCO and Abinitio (how there are typically used) is probably the best candidate.
