Yellow Bricks

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

  49. Well deserved Duncan. Since you will be in the Marketing, I would encourage you to give hints or ideas to focus on the Middle East specially Bahrain as VMWare Partners still they are welling to sell lots of physical servers just to gain money out of their customers.
