I have been a Citrix employee since 2000. I spent four years in field sales as a Systems Engineer, then moved into Business Development as a Global Technical Alliances Manager. With the acquisition of XenSource, I am moving into a new role as a Technology Evangelist focusing on XenServer, XenDesktop, and Provisioning Server. My target audience for this role is Citrix Alliance Partners. This new role will allow me to leverage my past experiences with both customers and Alliances Partners. I will be joining the conversation on the XenServer group blog with Roger, Simon Crosby and others.

My XenServer blog posts will dive down into solutions I encounter as I meet with Alliance Partners (such as this post and this post on Marathon Technologies, this post on PlateSpin, or this post on the CIO Magazine 10 Virtualization Vendors to Watch ) and cover the responses I have compiled to common questions from those Alliance Partners (such as this post on a XenServer Mini-Product training or this post about building a software business on open source). I will also write about my personal perspective on events like Xen Summit (here, here and here) and other Citrix customer and partner events.
