Day 3: A brief inquiry into “trust, empathy, humanity, and love” at Rocket Software (from IBM Think)
Happy Valentine’s Day! It’s the 3rd day of IBM Think, and things are winding down. The last big event, Think by the Bay, is tonight on Pier 39 where Rocket is sponsoring karaoke and cocktails at the Hard Rock Café. (Read about my second day and the 5 things that blew my mind on the […]
Day 2: 5 things that blew my mind from the floor of IBM Think
Welcome to day two! Read all about my first day here. Last night was wild; hundreds of people came through the booth when it opened at 5:00pm. Cue chaos. People were grabbing heart-shaped sunglasses by the handful, taking heart-shaped pens by the dozen; people were literally asking me for my shirt (which to be fair, […]
Day one! IBM Think 2019.
I’ve never been to an IBM event before. I’ve been with Rocket for just over two years now, and though I know IBM is our most important partner, I’ve never been immersed in that partnership like I am here at Think. This year, the four-day event happens to be taking place over the 14th of […]

They want the kind of business-changing advantages that industry leaders (such as Ford Motor Company) and sharing economy companies (such as Uber) have achieved by leveraging back-end data to create compelling consumer-facing digital experiences. But some are paying a high price for transformation efforts that may not be […]
Live from SHARE 2017: Why I Chose to Launch my Career at Rocket Software
Rocket might not make any product you’ve ever heard of. They don’t have their name on any stadiums, or on the hoods of racecars and there definitely aren’t any “Rocket Music Festivals” (though that would be freaking awesome). Even so, millions of people all over the world are touched by Rocket technology every day—including me […]
