Goodbye 2016, Welcome 2017

Goodbye 2016, Welcome 2017

Had I known what expected me 365 days ago ! This has been quite a memorable vintage work-wise!

  • 3 company changes : Dell -> Dell Software -> Dell EMC -> Quest
  • A new team to set-up and grow : EMEA Software Solutions Sales
  • Heavy lifting for critical strategy development : EMEA Go To Market for Information Management, Microsoft Platform Management, Endpoint Systems Management and Performance Monitoring
  • Goodbye after 17 years to the many amazing Dell team colleagues I've been so close
  • all while delivering ever more challenging goals in a year full of macro economic headwinds for our customers
  • and to make it happen : Took-off and landed on over 140 flights all across EMEA, 512 hours of phone calls, 115 WebEx, 86 expense notes, >80 Linkedin Social Selling Index for most of the year, too many litres of coffees, 64 packages of Haribo Cola and M&Ms, and let not me get started on restaurants and food ;)

Anyhow, 2017 promise to be as much, if not more, rich of new adventures and experiences , and while I can see some early signs of changes and stretch most of it remain unknown ... and that's the fun part :)

It will be a pivotal year for me anyhow, as I turn 40 !

I wish you all a great stint, like any year this will come with its share of surprises , good, bad as well as awesome and nasty ... I wish you make the most out of all of them and especially that health and happiness stay with you all time.

All the best to 2017 !
