President and CEO Ron Dupler has been with GreenPages the past nine years and has grown with the company every step of the way. Which partner conference recently honored GreenPages? What’s his opinion on romance movies? Scroll through our slideshow for the answers, along with other fun facts.
DUPLER: Bruce Springsteen at Fenway Park last summer. It was an amazing, high energy performance!
TALKIN CLOUD’s SPIN: The Boss is still The Boss.
DUPLER: Silver Linings Playbook. The acting was great, and I’m a sucker for romance movies.
TALKIN CLOUD’s SPIN: Nothing wrong with being a sucker for romance movies with comic relief. Silver Linings Playbook was a great movie.
DUPLER: Being hired by our board of directors to lead the talented team here at GreenPages. We’ve had a tremendous run over the last eight years and are very excited about our future.
TALKIN CLOUD’s SPIN: Congratulations on receiving a VMware Partner Network Award for Virtualization of Business Critical Applications (VBCA) at VMware Partner Exchange 2013.
DUPLER: Homeland. It’s a fantastic, intense series that hits close to home. Excellent plot and first-rate acting.
TALKIN CLOUD’s SPIN: I’ve been putting this show off for a while, but I think you’ve convinced me to add it to my Netflix queue. Touché.
DUPLER: CMaaS (Cloud Management as a Service). This platform provides single-pane-of-glass management for physical, virtual, and cloud infrastructures, as well as design, provisioning, procurement, and governance services for hybrid cloud environments. We are getting considerable market interest and see this as a big key to our future growth.
TALKIN CLOUD’s SPIN: We look forward to reviewing case studies on the product. Keep us in the loop.
DUPLER: I’m not a big gadget guy. I still use a BlackBerry (because of the tactile keyboard of course). I’ll have to say my iPad.
TALKIN CLOUD’s SPIN: The iPad has made its way back into Friday’s Last Word. It’s something we’ll have to deal with.
DUPLER: Huddle, a collaboration tool we have deployed at GreenPages.
TALKIN CLOUD’s SPIN: “It’s time to Huddle up and get work done faster.” Does everyone see what they did there?
DUPLER: Huddle. I spend quite a bit of my day there now.
TALKIN CLOUD’s SPIN: DITTO the last slide.
DUPLER: Huddle. I spend quite a bit of my day there now.
