Today I begin a new chapter as Vice President of Business Development for Chronos AI. The opportunity to join an exciting new start-up that can help complete the vision I've had for years around Digital Twins of our physical world is just so compelling. With the advent of UWB, Private 5G, and other emerging wireless technologies, we can now enable new capabilities of situational awareness never seen before. Chronos AI will play a vital part in helping customers leverage its technology to deliver geo location as a service and bring new levels of productivity, safety, and security to every workplace. As I make this change, I pause to reflect on my 25 years in the high tech industry. I have learned so much from my peers, team members, colleagues, managers, and friends along the way. I would especially like to thank my team and co-workers at Microsoft Corporation for an amazing past two decades! I'm extremely proud and grateful for the opportunities I had, the customers I worked with, and the friends I made there. I'm hopeful that many of those relationships will continue as so many of us shared our passion for innovation and a vision for a highly connected world.
