"Managing people and getting them to work together in a common goal to create new products and change the way people perform their daily grind is an extremely rewarding experience. Technology opens up so many opportunities and being able to leverage that to help people get work done is a great challenge and one that I hope I will be able to perform for some time. It's hard to image doing anything else."
