Wow, it was like yesterday that I talked about my six months experience at WSO2. They say when you are onto good things, time flies.

Overall it feels like twelve months have gone so fast and yet I feel like I have been with the WSO2 folks for a very long time.

Firstly I want to thank all my colleagues for making my work at WSO2 interesting as well as challenging.

I am relieved to see that the ex-Platformer team members have settled in well to their new work environment.

During this period, I was pleased to see Choreo getting into the general release (GA). It was a great pleasure to see a product being released despite all the challenges one has to face thanks to a great team effort.

I am also very flattered and humbly proud that the senior leadership team trusted me to take over the role of VP & GM for the API and Integration business unit. I was initially skeptical about taking the role, as I was new to the company. Thankfully most of the team immediately reached out to me and supported me to work toward a common goal.

With a team working from all over the world and me working from Down under, I knew that I have to face many time zone challenges. Once again, collectively we managed to organize how to respectfully book meetings and allow us to at least have some decent sleep once in a while!

I am really looking forward to the coming months and the future. There is a lot of innovation going on to help our customers to get the best outcome for their investments with us.

Until next time stay safe and be alert !!!

If you haven’t tried Choreo and Asgardeo yet, it’s not too late. Watch this space for more interesting news to come.
