VP Strategic Ops at Forescout. 30 years, 8 roles, every function. The messy middle between strategy and execution. Longer thoughts on LinkedIn.

My title is VP of Strategic Operations.

There's no certification for it. No degree. No professional association.

I've been building the playbook for 30 years. Still writing it.

At jury duty today and I'm comforted that if my current career of Chief Cat Herder doesn't work out, the skills transfer nicely to becoming a bailiff trying to herd prospective jurors.

My family spent 11 days picking a dinner date last month. I complained about it out loud this weekend. By Sunday Blerg had shipped a tool.

I'm still not sure who's working for who.

@rtcameron Put it back, man. Just put it back and then go think about your life choices.

@rtcameron This is your fault. You’ve opened up a portal from the seventh layer of hell. Thanks a lot, man, THANKS A LOT.

As I sat in my living room wearing my work from home sweat pants, I couldn’t help but to stand at attention when @ladygaga belted out The National Anthem with the help of the United States Marine Band.

The most selfless thing I do in 2020 is adjust the Peloton for my wife when I'm done riding.

Since I’ve already voted, I’m spending my Election Day holiday with @TedLasso. I can’t think of a better way to shut out the negative and fill the space with a positive.
