Why I Joined Citrix And What I'm Excited About
Citrix News, Monday, April 7th, 2025
The moment it became real for me was two weeks ago in New Orleans, when Citrix CTO Shawn Bass welcomed me on stage at our UNITE conference. I hadn't even said a word yet-I just stood there, grinning in front of a thousand of my new colleagues, thinking, 'This is gonna be awesome!'
As I wrote on LinkedIn when I joined the company, Citrix has been a part of my life for almost 30 years. I first encountered Citrix (WinFrame 1.6!) in the 1990s. I wrote my first blog post, my first book, and gave my first talk about Citrix over 20 years ago. I've met the majority of my closest friends via the Citrix community. So being here now is more than just a job for me; it's truly an honor.
All that said, I didn't join Citrix because of nostalgia-I joined because of the future.
