Leadership with Shawn O'Grady - Part 2

Here is the much anticipated Part 2 of our interview with Shawn O’Grady.

Today I am really excited to bring Shawn O’Grady to the show, because Shawn brings a really important perspective to the conversation. As a senior executive at Insight Enterprises, a 9 billion dollar technology reseller, he has a unique perspective on the business operations of a large company, but he is also constantly in the field talking with customers and working with them to find critical solutions to their problems, so he has a great perspective on what is happening in the industry. He has led technology companies through IPOs and mergers, and it is probably safe to say, he has seen it all in the biz.

NetApp Insight 2019 Part 2: Interview with Igneous and Cleondris

A lot of the show floor was taken up by NetApp itself. The show floor was divided into different sections. Some for the Partner community, some focusing on their products and some focusing on specific use cases. And there were areas devoted to play and areas to relax.

Like other shows this year, there has been a focus on Social Media, which mostly involves tracking Twitter feeds talking about the company and show. I probably need to get plugged in with these folk a bit more.

NetApp Insight 2019: Part 1

NetApp held their annual Insight conference in Las Vegas again this year. There is always a lot going on in Vegas, and there were several shows in town. There was a Crypto Currency conference happening in my hotel. I can only imagine what kind of shenanigans a bunch of risk taking crypto math geeks could get up to in this town.

There were not a lot of new product announcements this year, it seemed to be more focused on delivering of promises previously made. This is not a bad thing. This is an opportunity to refocus on the fundamentals of the business and realizing their multi-could/hybrid-cloud data fabric story.
