Mindshare Ventures的动态

A career is a living novel consisting of written chapters that capture the past, a current chapter being written, and future chapters with endless possibilities. ? Each chapter is meaningful because it's enabled by the preceding one and makes the next one possible. ? And each chapter eventually comes to a close so the next one can be written. ? Today, I'd like to share with you that my 5th chapter, The Entrepreneur, one that spanned 9 years, is coming to a close. ? I genuinely can't convey how magical and fulfilling yet trying and exhausting Chapter 5 was. It was easily the hardest thing I've ever done in my life with the support of the most incredible work family I could've hoped for: from idea to prototype to investment to team to product to clients to growth to acquisition to integration to thriving without needing me. ? It's been a 9-year journey in pursuit of achieving a title I refer to as "grandpa". My team knows exactly what I mean by that as we've talked about it for years: I've wanted to get to the point where I could be the cheerleader, the candy-bringer, the empathetic shoulder, the advisor, and the proud "grandpa" who is gratified seeing his family grow and flourish leaving daily affairs to the parents and elder siblings. ? I'm proud to say that day has come. I handpicked Mike years ago, well before the acquisition, to be our President and to take overall leadership of the company with the support of the one-and-only Drue overseeing product & engineering. They have the support of an amazing group of leaders who are tenured, most from well before the acquisition. I trust this leadership team to continue our culture, cadence, and traditions. ? So, nothing will change for the team, for our clients, for our partners, or for our industry friends…and AtlasRTX will continue to thrive even more within the NICE ecosystem. ? I'll continue to be grandpa to AtlasRTX but I will also begin outlining the next chapter, The Mentor, focused on Mindshare Ventures, and helping entrepreneurs and leadership teams succeed in business and in life. A teacher at heart, I've always wanted to dedicate a chapter to being a "professor in industry" and this next chapter will be focused on that: helping others succeed. ? I'm not going anywhere…I'm just evolving and I'm very excited about what this next chapter will bring in terms of growth, impact, and, if I'm lucky, a legacy in the form of successful people, teams, and organizations I've had the privilege of helping. ? I'm so very grateful for the love, grace, guidance, patience, understanding, and overall support I continue to receive from my home family, my work family, my friends, and my AtlasRTX community. Thank you for being part of building such a unique environment that is home to some of the most wonderful and wicked smart people in tech.
