And that’s a wrap folks. Vaya con dios, Smartsheet. I’ve had the good fortune to work at some great places with some brilliant people. And I’ve been at some fantastic places filled with kind, generous souls. Smartsheet truly raised the bar on both fronts. Heavy hitters and warm hearts all around. Among them were managers who went to the mat for me, taught me, put faith in me, and gave me the runway to do what I do. Thank you Jennifer Stockton, LP.D., Alyssa Hill, Marsha Shoemaker, Kati Quigley, and . Cicero, who was never my manager but sure as hell is a leader I’d follow anywhere. I also had a murderers’ row of teammates I could trust backwards and forwards — their ideas, their ability to execute, and their character to consistently show up, do the right thing, and do it well. A few who had my back: Elisabeth S. Wharton, MLS, Sydney Mellides, MBA, Olivia Ripps, Asif Husain, MS, MBA, PMP, Andy Lowe, Kelsey Hayden, Steve Lampert, James Ashby, Anthony Arrienda, Shane Farley, Miaenn Olander, Drew Milam, Madison Donley, M. Ed (Foster), Courtney C., Daniel Medved, Diego Braje, Emily Davenport, Danielle Wilson, Anchal Kumar, Reagan Brell, Alejandro C., Brittany Olund, Eliza Linford Kelly, Steven Guglielmo, George Jenkins, Ben Phillips, Michelle Heimerl, Robert Harkins, and Amanda Abukhader. You made work fun. Finally, a special shout out to the yin to my yang, the Spock to my Kirk, the Ron Swanson to my Leslie Knope, Julie Elmuccio. She does a really good impression of me, you should ask her to perform it sometime. I’ve got a short break before my next chapter. I’m going to climb a mountain, help my wife with her garden, take my daughter for pancakes, give my dog a cuddle day, make a cross country pilgrimage to the Jersey shore, and come back to start an electrifying new chapter. Watch this space!
