I joined @VMware in 2009 as an SE, back when the only "bake-off" was VMs vs. bare-metal (spoiler: VMs won)...and it's been an incredible ride.

Today I'm beyond excited to announce my promotion to Technology Director, Cloud Mgmt Office of the CTO!! 😃

[Jad El-Zein @virtualjad]

@AmandaBlev Safe travels...and see you tomorrow!

[Jad El-Zein @virtualjad]

@lamw Same vibe. 🤔

Awe man. RIP Gallagher! 😔

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Gallagher, a comedian known for his outrageous act that always concluded with the smashing of a watermelon, died at 76.

Farewell Barcelona! Great seeing and catching up with so many old friends and colleagues, yet missed too many. The energy and excitement this week was beyond expectations and I loved every second of it. #VMwareExplore

[Jad El-Zein @virtualjad]

A little throwback as we wrap up another great #VMwareExplore.

Barcelona, circa 2013. Who do you recognize? #TBT

[Jad El-Zein @virtualjad]

Thanks for organizing…and thanks to the awesome partner community for making it possible! #VMwarePartners

@NiranEC @Marriott Happy Birthday dude!!

[Pete Flecha @vPedroArrow]

@virtualjad @al_rasheed @VMwareExplore I heard a great podcast about Aria https://t.co/t0FTHudZyg

[Jad El-Zein @virtualjad]

You're going to hear *A LOT* of buzz around #VMwareAria during @VMwareExplore - but only one session will dive deep into the tech that made it possible: #CMB2210EUR, https://t.co/FPl2ywCL96

¡Hola Barcelona! Good to be back [physically] for @VMwareExplore. I can already feel the energy!

@MichaelDell @elonmusk Advertising to users in a positive emotional state has greater returns. I haven’t paused to click a lead while pissed or doom scrolling.

[Jad El-Zein @virtualjad]

@MichaelDell @elonmusk Happy users stay (or spend more time), user growth is organic, advertisers want in…and will ultimately pay more for access to a growing population of [happy] users.
