Starting a new Adventure

After 99.5 months (sounds more interesting than “8+ years”) at Microsoft, I’m heading off on a new adventure with Cloudera. Over the years with Microsoft I have worked with some amazing folks in support, consulting, and sales.

Thanks to all the folks from Microsoft who have mentored me, worked along side me, and who wished me well as I made the difficult decision to depart. I know that I started some lifelong friendships along the way.

And thanks to all the Clouderans who have helped me find this new opportunity, believed that I was up to the challenge, and welcomed me to the team. I’m excited about focusing intently on the Hadoop ecosystem, and I feel like I’ve found a great fit with the energy and culture I’ve seen so far at Cloudera. It’s going to be a fun adventure!
