Excited to share I've joined @AvantraHQ as CEO! Automating Operations with AIOps is an imperative for all SAP customers. Improve business experience, security & audit, and reduce cost to serve.

@Benioff @SusanWojcicki Thanks for your eulogy Marc. It sucks. Sorry for your loss.

[John Appleby @applebyj]

@vijayasankarv Damn, congrats! Share your secrets to success!

[John Appleby @applebyj]

@vijayasankarv Get a Newfie and be done with it

[John Appleby @applebyj]

@JelenaAtLarge I mean it’s not wrong

[John Appleby @applebyj]

@vijayasankarv @mattharding @marcfbe We have had that accusation once or twice at @AvantraHQ but it has always turned out to be something else. Just saying!

[John Appleby @applebyj]

@vijayasankarv They were good times and neither of us would be where we are now without what we learned there. But all things must come to an end.

[John Appleby @applebyj]

For sure. And the ones that run @AvantraHQ are GOATs!

[SAP @SAP]

SAP admins are the real MVPs. 😅

@bhaines0 The highest I heard this year is 700%.

@msuster Nothing can go wrong for you if you don’t invest in it!

@Kellblog It’s a cut - chicken breast with the drumette attached. Intended to resemble a wing.

Bonus fact: Aeroflot is known colloquially as “chicken airlines” because they used to only serve chicken.

@vijayasankarv I’d share a beer with Alan Cox any day over Linus.

@vijayasankarv I didn’t say Hasso didn’t approve him, only that he didn’t pick him. Now he appears to stepped back into a more hands on role choosing the candidate.

New guy isn’t so new… board member for 20 years.

[John Appleby @applebyj]

@snowmaker Not only this but societally, SF is willing to accept such things much more easily than say… Oklahoma City. Possible to get ordinances approved and for citizens not to be in uproar.

@datadictum I just wish it knew the stuff I’ve dealt with and closed those windows. So many things need a quick review and I forget to close them. 2-300 windows later…

[John Appleby @applebyj]

@vijayasankarv Also, he was not Hasso’s pick… Pekka is both European and hand chosen by Hasso. Read into that what you will…

[John Appleby @applebyj]

@vijayasankarv If you read between the lines, Renjen didn’t fully understand the nature of the German Chairman of the Supervisory Board when he accepted the role and expected to have more control like in a US business.

[John Appleby @applebyj]

@vijayasankarv Yeah I was thinking the same. I’m too old and cheap to be a beta tester like I was for the first OS-X MacBook Pro and the iPhone 1.0.

@xJonNYC I’ve been to the one in BOS and it’s phenomenal. Long walk from anywhere though, over a mile from my gate.

[John Appleby @applebyj]

@xJonNYC You can go to heaven or hell, so long as you’re transiting in Atlanta
