Description: It's tough out there. Stay focused.

The different, big restructurings going on, Citrix isn't the only company. Clearly, EMC Dell, huge, huge transaction going on. Hewlett- Packard Enterprise, that still appears to be going through some restructurings. What is going on this year that we're seeing so many big changes with so many Big technology companies. There's all this transformation that's happening in the world of enterprise. And I think the world is moving to digital. That's the transfer we've been seeing for a while now. We've been talking about it for a while now. There's this really confluence of cloud, mobility, big data. Internal things, all those elements come together, and propel enterprise into the future. Citrix, was just like many other companies that were born 25, 27 years ago. Essentially was operating on a [ UNKNOWN ] traditional enterprise software delivery model. And now we're transforming, to deliver essentially, the entirety of Citrix solution, through the cloud. The company was going through very important restructuring. And the company needed to add additional focus. The company needed to adjust its strategy. And I came right in the midst of it to essentially help this transformation and to a certain degree, to accelerate it. To complete it and put the company back on the growth trajectory. And that's precisely what my last six months been all about. And it seems like some of the strategies by some of these companies we know some are getting bigger and morphing into bigger companies. Some are slicing and dicing themselves up. Why did you choose the directions Citrix is going right now? It's the focus. It's the focus that's important. It's really sorta Figuring out what are the core adjacencies, and how we can focus the company, and focus our energy, focus our momentum, and really delivering to sort of one set of buyers that are focused on one most important thing for them, which is digital transformation.
