"His maniacal focus on doing what it takes to ensure that midmarket businesses are getting the most out of their VDI, application virtualization and Desktop-as-a-Service solutions, whether it is spending time in the trenches interviewing end-users and IT professionals about their most pressing concerns, or immersing himself in case studies, is critical to both our success and that of our partners and customers."
