With my team, I focus on shaping, growing and advancing technology companies that deliver value to enterprise customers. Often that requires recognizing disruptive trends well in advance, transforming and positioning organizations to address those trends, and then building and taking to market innovative solutions that enable advanced digital transformation.From Tidal Software (acquired by Cisco), CollabNet VersionOne and my current job as CEO of Centrify, to growth positions at IBM and Cisco, I’ve emphasized an always learning approach because it is essential to success. Jack Welch put it best when he said, “An organization's ability to learn, and translate that learning into action rapidly, is the ultimate competitive advantage.” Learning quickly is more important than ever because our world is driven by technology that evolves very quickly - successful companies unceasingly learn and adapt.My professional journey includes work in systems engineering, networks, enterprise management, software delivery and privileged access management. Being able to lead a company like Centrify and help some of the largest organizations in the world, including the United States government secure their environments is a privilege.
