An amazing adventure ends...

Never thought I would be putting this up...but after an amazing 5.5 year ride...it's time to say good bye to Pulse Secure.

A job and company that became an integral part of my life...I wanted to take some time out to say thank you to the people who made this adventure a possibility...and a lot of fun on the way.

I would like to thank all my customers and partners. Without your trust in me, I wouldn't have achieved the success I managed during my time in Pulse Secure. I look forward to reaching out to you again in my new adventure and hope to continue working with you.

My first thank you is for John Mitchell :) It was this time around 6 years ago I reached out to him a desperate plea to give me a shot at a role and company I had no IDEA about :) I cannot thank him enough for taking that chance and giving me an opportunity of a lifetime.

Chris Stoddard Douglas Erickson - thank you for the first call and taking the chance on me. The first few years working with you two was a lot of fun.

Laurent Delattre Piers Morgan Thomas Mammitzsch Martin Sol?ng Alan Finden - the original Wolfpack. I can't thank you guys enough for being brothers/mentors/role models for me. It has been amazing working with you and learning from you every day.

Ganesh Nakhawa Prakash Mana Ashur Kanoon Graham Duthie Jonas Gyllenhammar - some of the greatest and smartest product minds on the planet :) Thank you for bearing me :)

Justin Barney Alex Thurber - albeit brief, thank you for being amazing CROs and working closely with me, understanding the Middle East business and supporting the region.

To my lovely team - Alaa Awwad Islam Soliman Yazan Khaled Mohamed Amin, MBA ?i?dem ARSLAN Alina Anghel - I am honored and humbled to have had the opportunity to work with you and for you. You are the most talented bunch of people I have worked with and I am sure great things await :)

And finally my big 3 - the three people that helped shape my amazing career and journey at Pulse Secure.

Paul Donovan - thank you for being the best boss/manager/mentor a person could ask for. You helped me in realizing my true potential, were extremely patient with me, guided me through tough times and were always around to help. Thank you.

And not every day a person can thank the CEO and CFO of a company...but in my case...I can :) Jeffrey Key - Thank you for being the tough one. I loved working with you and your support was key for us to become one of the best regions in the company.

Sudhakar Ramakrishna - It's near impossible for me to describe the impact of your guidance and mentoring in my career. So the only way I can explain it is by saying this - "If I was to become like you in my professional and personal life...It would be an amazing and worthwhile achievement"

From your humility in dealing with people, to your patience and guidance, I set benchmarks for myself to follow in your footsteps. And my basic thought process is ... What would Sudhakar do in this situation :)

Thank you for everything.

I look forward to my next adventure (will announce it soon), and I would like to think that if I could take some part of the Pulse Secure culture into my new role, I would be making the corporate world a better place :)

As Sudhakar mentioned in his blog - We are all Pulsers for life
