Looking Back, Planning Ahead
| January 25, 2013
It’s time again for annual reviews, joy of joys. They generally (or at least are intended to) lead to reflections, resolutions and new beginnings.  Now, this whole “looking back” thing may sound clichéd, but there’s some real value in doing it – if you’re honest. From a business perspective and, in particular, as a backup ...

Making your list and checking it twice.  It’s that time of year again – where does the time go? A friend and I were talking and the conversation ended up being that her husband always buys her things he thinks she needs, like a vacuum cleaner.  Not exactly on her top 5 list of what she wants ...

| September 28, 2012
What is your favorite time of year? For me, I am a fan of fall.  This weekend I took full advantage of fall in beautiful Colorado. My weekend included a 13.1 mile running race that incorporated rocks, roots, huge hills and a very narrow trail with 1,000 runners. This meant that we could only run ...

| August 17, 2012
Why should you honor boundaries? Last year I was skiing with a group that had lost a 13 year old friend during a ski accident.  The 13 year old was skiing out of bounds with an adult when they set off an avalanche. Yes, the adult encouraged the 13 year old to take the risk ...

Water, Water Everywhere
| July 12, 2012
I joined EMC’s Symmetrix division in the fall of 2010.  The same iconic & legendary engineering team responsible for the concept and delivery of over 20 years of Symmetrix storage.  My first task was bringing the Symmetrix VMAXe (now called VMAX 10K) to market.  Thinking back, the impression that comes to mind is “wow”, what ...
