Stand by for news!

Okay, that's long enough. Now the news!

Today mark's my last day at Salesloft after nearly 5 years. It has been a very eventful time.
- Buyout by Private Equity
- 2 Mergers/Acquisitions
- 4 CEOs
- 7 Rounds of Layoffs
- Death of my mother
- Death of a beloved pet.
- Leadership role through a major security incident.
- Scaled a security team of 2 up to 8 and rebuilt the entire program from the ground up.

I can honestly say I learned a great deal working through all of these events. I had a great team who I will miss working with and who I owe all of our success too. I also saw some terrible leadership decisions and predictably terrible outcomes as a result. Wisdom generating events, as I like to call them.

So what's next? I'm going to take a bit of a break to try to get back to being the person I strive to be. Then I'm going to look for some new interesting adventures. Consulting, fractional work, part time, non-traditional engagements, or even full time work is all on the table. I am looking to find something that excites me again working with quality people. Life is too short to not be inspired by how we spend our precious limited time.

So if you find my particular mix of security skill and snark of use, please reach out!
