19 years, 3 months.
My last day at Jack Henry and Associates will be February 4, 2022. I am extremely grateful for the opportunities I’ve had. Jack Henry has been very supportive of working from home for the last 14 years, and they’ve fostered me as a learning-center manager. The work-life balance and benefits were extremely tough to beat over the last 19 years. I’ve built and supported some really cool things in the managed security services space. I’ve grown up here.
Here’s a selfie (now) next to a photo of me from 2002 (when I joined JHA).
I’m a dinosaur by IT career standards; honestly, I didn’t think I’d write this blog post anytime soon. However, COVID-19 has changed the way we work, and more companies are creating remote leadership positions.
On February 7th, 2022, I’ll start a new position at Salesforce, working as a Senior Manager of Systems Engineering, supporting the CI/CD infrastructure for Tableau. I’m ecstatic about the opportunity, but I will greatly miss all of my colleagues from JHA (Gladiator), particularly my direct reports.
I still plan on blogging intermittently, and I’ll be active and involved in the community (in fact Salesforce actively encourages volunteerism), so I’m not going anywhere. But yet, I’m moving up, and am looking forward to figuring out the next few challenges in my career.
Let’s build something awesome.
You’re going to be super awesome. Hoping we will never miss away sharing our experiences moving forward. I wish you all the best for your future at Salesforce. You shall be missed at Gladiator Development. Had great thoughts of spending some quality time around cool ideas we shared about Azure Logic Apps and Tableau integration to ADO. You know what I will still share my achievements in that space with you. Take care Stuart,
Congrats on your new role Stewie!
