The reason was, that the worldwide Chief Security Advisors met at our HQ in Redmond for four days to discuss community related questions as well as the future of certain selected products and share the worldwide experience with our product manager.

It is really a pure joy to see this community and the sheer power of these security professionals in one room. We had long and intense discussions with our product teams, which helped us on both sides to move forward, to learn and to grow.

It is a real privilege to be able to run this community on a world-wide basis as it is definitely able to make a difference

It is a pleasure for me to welcome Freddy Kasprzykowski in my team. He is with Microsoft today as our Product Manager for Infrastructure Products in Latin America. He is one of these strange people who are really addicted to security and I am looking forward to having him on the team End of October.

And then we have a “come back”: Eric Ashdown, who was the Chief Security Advisor for the Greater China Region a few year back is now coming back to Microsoft of the time zone lead for Asia (the good ones all keep coming back Smile). Even though we just agreed on the terms, he managed to get the papers in place (with the outstanding help or our HR in Singapore) and officially starts today… I guess he is sitting in a plane right now on his way to Singapore.

This team will really rock and it will be a great joy to work with them as well as with the rest of the Chief Security Advisors.

Now it is time to update you again. Just before the summer vacation, we could hire the Chief Security Advisor in South Africa who is Khomotso Kganyago. Khomotso started already and I am looking forward to do a week of customer meetings with him soon in Johannesburg and Pretoria.

And last but definitely not least, we were able to fill the first of the three time zone positions: Monika Josi will join us from Novartis for the EMEA Chief Security Advisor position starting January 1st. This is the third time in our career we will be working together and I am definitely looking forward working with Monika again as she will be a great addition to our team
