He said to them, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you. With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

One of my favorite days all year is teaching a class at Stanford University for Professor Jay Borenstein in his Computer Science curriculum, CS 210 (lnkd.in/gGUSsZDH). Title of my Lecture that I gave this week: 'Building Great Products & Customer-Centric Companies'.

Congratulations Sanjay Poonen on the $150 million series F from IBM.
As the company completes its tie up with Veritas this capital will help.
A lot of excitement in the data protection space. Deals and IPOs.
Data is the fuel for AI and Gen AI. Love seeing the industry flourish.
