In addition to engaging with customers and press, I present at Industry-leading events to drive awareness and excitement about what we are doing at VMware.
I’m the Chief Technologist for the Cloud Platform Business Unit at VMware. In this role, I focus on new workloads on resource management and new hardware. How can we improve our current product suite and how can customers use the current feature set to deploy these workloads and hardware on the vSphere platform successfully?

This feedback is relayed to the product teams to ensure new functionalities match the customer needs.
