What do you see driving growth for cloud partners down the road?

There's technologies that partners and customers don’t understand the impact of yet: machine learning, analytics, Internet of Things, amazing platform solutions. I can't wait to see what happens with all of that.

We know there's market demand, we know it's very early and painful and rapidly changing so we have to be nimble. Before the leap in the technology adoption curve, you're not making money. But you have to invest because if you wait until the market is proven, it's too late.

I want to discover where my ceiling is. I'm only going to get this opportunity once in a lifetime, and it's not about the money, but about maximum market impact. What is our potential? I really want to discover that.
