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.

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 […]

This is my first Build, and I have to admit that I’m pretty excited about it. Six months into my tenure as Chief Product Officer (CPO) here at Rocket I […]

Thoughts from SHARE Sacramento 2018: Bringing the Mainframe to the Millennials
