I couldn’t think of a good way to say this – so I’m just going to cut to the chase. I’m leaving EMC. In fact, yesterday was my last full day of work.

My time at EMC has been filled with interesting and challenging roles. I started as a developer for the SAN courses. I moved on to develop courses in the Ionix space, specifically the Voyence Control suite.

At the same time I was developing the Voyence courses, I was part of the group that jumped at the chance to do social media internally at EMC. I started a blog internally that rounded up all the stories I could find about the storage industry, and I eventually created this blog. I’ve trained and mentored lots of folks, and set the strategy for social media for Education Services.

I’m going to miss working daily with so many people! First of all, members of our Proven Professional Community …. representing you internally, making sure what you share is heard by the right people, has been without a doubt the most satisfying part of my job. Everyone working with social media – how fun has this been! We’re all connected and I hope it stays that way.

Inside Ed Services – I’m going to miss you all. From the operations team (who make me miss being a sysadmin every time we chat!), to the course developers, to the instructors, to the folks that market the product, to the ladies that answer the phones and help people get registered for class – y’all are amazing. This organization is filled with so many talented, incredible people. Saying goodbye to you all is the hardest part of this transition.

Ed Services folks will know the background story on this dollar:

Its hard to see I know, but here is what is written on it:

Think big

Think different

Connect all

Connect all – that is my mantra. The storage industry in which we work is really a very small industry. But it is probably one of the most important industries there is – we are responsible for storing the world’s information. I believe its vital to connect all to live up to this responsibility.

So please let’s stay connected! Or connect with me if you haven’t already! For me, its on to new, exciting adventures. :)
