The Right Time for a New Challenge

End-User Computing has evolved since my time at the VMware EUC CTO Office, and it is now fast expanding into secure public-cloud and mobile-first solution stacks. Long gone are the days when VDI alone could cater for all remote and BYOD needs.

The opportunity for companies tackling the EUC business has never been bigger, and it has now been accelerated by a global pandemic that is pushing organizations to fast forward digital transformation at a pace never witnessed before.

For this reason, I'm delighted to announce that I am joining Citrix, a company that I hold the utmost admiration and consider a true EUC innovator.

On Monday, I'm joining the Citrix Product Marketing team focused on Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and Zero Trust technologies. This position places me in my sweet spot, between engineering, product management, marketing, and sales.

SASE is a new emerging cybersecurity category that Gartner considers being the convergence of WAN and network security services like CASB, FWaaS, and Zero Trust.

Zero Trust uses context-setting to dynamically assign policies to control access across users, devices, applications, and data. It not only provides granular access control but also removes the need for perimeter-based security, considered unreliable in today's multi-cloud and hybrid environments.

I have the advantage of experiencing Citrix as a customer, a competitor, and a partner throughout my career, and I'm looking forward to this next chapter and joining good friends at Citrix!
