I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to the formation, growth, and success of many technology companies over the course of my career. Some companies were just getting started, while others were among the largest, most innovative, and well-known companies in Silicon Valley.
I’m often asked what excites me most about working in tech – and the answer is simply, everything. I love the innovation, the pace, and the transformative power of technology. I’ve learned that technology can change lives, businesses, and the very future of the world. I especially love when technology upsets the status quo because it’s those moments that define the essence of tech, and why people and money continue flowing into our industry.
So, you might be wondering “What’s the next big disruption in tech?” I believe it will be in a space I know very well: the network space.
There is too much complexity in networks today. This has happened because leading incumbents have been doing what they thought was the right thing for far too long. They kept adding functionality to demonstrate momentum, and simply burdened the product with too much code and complexity. These “leaders” lost sight of what customers really want: less staff, ease of use, and easy installation. Customers don’t care about the behind the scenes.
At the end of the day, it’s all about what customers really want – simplicity.
We’ve assembled at a team and an idea that I believe in. We’re here to disrupted a 30 year industry. We’re going to take our playbook and cause some major disruption with Nile. With the license and experience to disrupt the status quo, we can finally deliver the change that customers are demanding – simpler outcomes for networks.
If you’re still relying on the legacy vendors to give you something better without disrupting their business model, think again. It’s time to explore a secure network as a service delivery model as IT resources are harder to find, owning hardware and everything that comes with it no longer makes sense, and you need to think about all of your people. They’er what makes your business really run.
