I am very sad today. As I always am in these bitter-sweet moments when I see smart, passionate and very talented people leave my team or even leave the company. You share a lot of memories with them, the good and the bad. I am not sure in which category the “12-hour customer upgrades” or the “huge outage at 3am in the morning” fall.

On May 2nd I started my new job with the Axeda GmbH here in Germany. The parent company, the Axeda Corporation, invited me over to the United States for two weeks to get to know the company headquarters, my new co-workers and of course the IT infrastructure we will maintain in both countries.
