Page 8 - GLAS Newsletter Q118

I am from Chennai (India) and living in Sydney for nearly 30 years.

My IT career started in 1995 as shift supervisor in Mainframe and I have had an
amazing ride from there – 3 years in Mainframe/Unix, 2 years as business analyst
for Optus (one of largest Telco company), 13 years in IBM GTS (global technology
services) as SAM (software asset management) Lead, supporting large outsource
customers (Banks, Govt and retail), 3 years in Microsoft as SAM engagement

manager. Joined VMware as A/NZ Snr Engagement manager in July 2015.

I am passionate about cooking, so much that I decided to share my knowledge and
all about Indian vegetarian cooking with Australians and started
www.indianmadeeasy.com.au. Recently published a cook book “Simply Spice”
homemade vegetarian food. When I am not cooking or teaching, I enjoy yoga and
Bollywood dancing/Zumba. Love to go for long bush walks.

It has been nearly 2 years since I have been with VMware and this is the best
organization I have ever worked. I love the inclusive culture.

I always like to face challenges as opportunity to grow and think of creative and
innovative ways to overcome them.

GLAS is key to VMware business and I am so
proud to be part of this amazing team. Anyone
aspiring to join GLAS team I will say this “GLAS
team is a magic glue which brings all the
pieces together to create opportunities and
build great partnerships” .
