I am very excited to announce I’m beginning a new adventure today and joining VMware. It’s hard to believe but I’ve spent over a decade using VMware products, and I am very excited to now be a part of the organization that has helped shape today’s technology in so many ways. I’ve been very fortunate to have been given the chance to be involved in so many VMware projects over the years, including the chance to co-author a book last year.
In my new role I will for the first time be entirely outside of day-to-day support, which up until now has still been at least some function of any job I’ve ever had. While I very much enjoyed helping out operationally, I’ve felt more and more the desire to work in a more research and lab driven role. Additionally I’ll be returning to being a member of a globally dispersed team. This in itself is a big challenge if you don’t know what you are in for, but fortunately I had the chance to work as part of a global team several years ago and learned a lot in the process.
A lot of changes and new challenges, but looking forward to what lies ahead.
