Recently, I decided to leave Dell where I had the amazing opportunity to promote and amplify various Dell cloud solutions. Over the past 18 months I attended and spoke at a variety of cloud conferences and think tanks, wrote over 150 blogs, and even had lunch at the prestigious London School of Economics (home of 16 Nobel prize winners). The cloud evangelist position at Dell was tremendous and I am grateful for the chance to assist in the establishment of Dell as a cloud provider; however (isn’t there always), new challenges have presented themselves to me.
I have accepted a position at HP where I will undertake the role of Cloud Social Merlin transforming the social methodology and message from HP on their public cloud solutions built on OpenStack. Returning to the promotion of not just HP Cloud but also the broader OpenStack community is fantastic and after a great week in Portland at the recent OpenStack Summit I look forward to doing my part in making OpenStack the standard in enterprise computing.
My twitter account will change to @SpectorTX and my new email is stephen.spector@hp.com. I look forward to this new challenge working at one of the largest technology companies in the world and doing my part to transform the public cloud market on behalf of HP.
For those of you too young to remember the Jefferson’s I present the theme song for you.
It is better to travel well than to arrive.
