Experience

Through four (4) fundamental technology shifts over the same number of decades, I’m blessed to work and learn with tremendously talented teams globally. Beginning with mobile computing in the early 80s, when we destroyed sales productivty by forcing people to type… continuing into the 90s as the internet created global connectivity… then the cloud, enabling all to use centralized compute capacity at scale… and now, looking forward… how we will use artificial intelligence to both operate more effectively, and defend against evil of all types, securely. How can I help you navigate change to accelerate growth, securely.
