Greetings from Chicago’s winter wonderland : )  and many thanks for following this experimental blog. This past year’s posts registered 6,000+ views and 30,000+ twitter impressions. This is very encouraging, especially so given the narrow focus on the Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) projects that I am involved in, coupled with a handful of high tech marketing topics.

I would also like to express my gratitude to those of you who attended any of my presentations, panel discussions, and demonstrations at various tech events throughout 2014. So, thanks again and I hope that there will be more opportunities to meet in the new year.

Moreover, I am happy to share that 2015 is looking very promising already. My next stop is Barcelona’s Mobile World Congress (MWC) in March, where I will join Ted East, VP at the Cloud Innovation Center, to demonstrate NFV innovations.

Last but not least, I would like to show my appreciation for the professionalism and hard work deployed by everyone I had the pleasure to team up with. I am fortunate to interact with and learn from some of the best minds in the high tech industry here at Alcatel-Lucent.
