2. VMware’s Eileen Gibson

People love reading about who is taking on a new role and where in the channel. That’s why our No. 2 most-read story this week involved Eileen Gibson accepting a new position at VMware. She’s now head of VMware’s worldwide partner and go-to-market strategy, coming to the company after nearly eight years at TD Synnex.

“I could not be more excited, but I would be remiss to not acknowledge all the close professional/personal relationships and growth opportunities I’ve had along the way,” Gibson wrote on LinkedIn. “I will miss my old friends but expect to make new ones too. And in this industry, it’s never really ‘goodbye.’ It’s just ‘see you later!’ I will raise a glass to you all tonight! Cheers!”

Cheers to you, too.
