It is that time of the year again… Roughly 1 year ago I blogged about the fact that I joined the VMware Cloud Practice, today I want to let you guys know that I have accepted a new job role within VMware as a Principal Architect working for the Technical Marketing team.

While I have enjoyed working within the PSO/TS organization, I have always been tempted to be part of an R&D organization to get as close to the source as possible, and of course to be able to influence the products, features and the direction of those. I never expected it to happen this soon though but the opportunity presented itself and as you can imagine I grabbed it with both hands. Joining Technical Marketing means that I will be able to focus more on educating people through white-papers, books, documentation and yellow-bricks.com. On top of that the promotion to Principal is a huge recognition; to be amongst the ranks of Pang Chen, Lee Dilworth, John Arrasjid, Dan Anderson and others is a true honor.

I want to thank everyone who made this possible, you know who you are! I cannot wait to get started,

Duncan
