I've been with Computacenter now for 8 and a half years, during which time I have been privileged to have worked with many talented people and for many wonderful customers. However, every good thing does eventually come to an end. After much deliberation, I've decided that the time has come to bring this chapter of my life to a close.
It is not often that you hear of IT professionals who stay with the same business for 8 or more years. Many of my friends in the industry have changed companies several times during my time at Computacenter. However, within Computacenter, many people have been in the business for much longer than my eight years, some have been there for more than 20 years. When asked why, I'm sure most, if not all of them will tell you that it is an excellent place to work, with many opportunities and a great culture.
However, sometimes opportunities come and find us, rather than us actively looking for them. I've had my fair share of offers over the past eight years to join other businesses, but I've never really felt that those opportunities were right for me. However, this time, I could not just sit back and pass on the opportunity.
So, I am pleased to announce, that as of the 2nd of January 2018, I will be joining Rubrik as a Solutions Architect within the EMEA region. I'm looking forward to the new challenges that await in vendor land.
I've learned a lot during my time at Computacenter, and I will always be grateful for all the support I enjoyed from individuals within the business. However, I believe the move to Rubrik will take me out of my comfort zone and help me grow even further, and I am excited for what lies ahead and grateful for the opportunity. Onwards and upwards!
