VMware vExpert Community – 2020

Like many vExperts, waiting for the announcement for 2020 has been a little nerve-wrecking. 2019 was a very busy year for me, got made redundant from VMware, welcomed my 2nd child into this world and then joined CloudHealth by VMware in an EMEA-wide role, and then pretty much kissed goodbye to my free time as … Continue reading VMware vExpert Community – 2020

I’ve been at CloudHealth for 6 months now, and those months have flown by so quickly.... plus my youngest daughter has just turned … Continue reading VMworld 2019 Europe

My Big Bets for 2019 – Intro

Over the Christmas period I started to plan out what I wanted to blog about at the start of 2019.

vExpert 2018 Award Announcement

So last Thursday/Friday the vExpert slack channel was awash with lots of nervous energy as people were eagerly waiting for the announcement to see if they had been accepted back into the vExpert program for 2018.... Strange, but to me it seemed that everyone was a little bit more nervous this year then previous years! … Continue reading vExpert 2018 Award Announcement

VMworld 2017 Europe Wrap Up….

So this blog post has been a bit late coming, mainly due to me coming back from Barcelona with a heavy chest infection and cold... and when you're sick, you tend to procrastinate alot... =) Looks like all the excessive late nights, early morning starts, long days, freezing cold breakout rooms (was anyone else cold??) … Continue reading VMworld 2017 Europe Wrap Up….

It's that time of year again when the VMware community starts to cast their votes as to which blog should be crowned "Top vBlog" for 2017...!
