I gave a talk (video
here) at the Princeton University Engineering School about my
transformation from engineer to executive. The talk was about an hour,
including questions and answers, and covered four main areas:
(1) What NetApp does.
(2) How to think about markets and customers.
(3) The importance of culture and company values.
(4) My lessons on being a manager.
The talk was intended to help engineering students understand one of the
career paths available to them, but others might also be interested as well.


Hi, your video doesn't seem to load. I'm interested in watching that.

131!
131 offices - I work home-office based from Slovenia and consider that to be NetApp office as well. ;-)
Getting that book from Amazon takes ages, it seems might be faster just buying a bull and learn it myself ...

Missed the talk in person (it was during exams), but it's pretty great! Thanks.

Hi -- I really enjoy reading your blog. As a NetApp partner, I thought you might like to take a look at my blog, too! Nick
