Didn’t he leave VMware few years ago to become a ceo before coming back to VMware?
Now he wants to be a ceo again?

Keep in mind that Proofpoint is now a Thoma Bravo portfolio company, so they will be run accordingly. No (or very little) innovation, hire a Yes-man as the CEO, and milk the aging cow for as long as you can.

Lucky them (sarcasm), and I've never been happier that I don't work at Proofpoint. Dimwit was one of the few execs who was equally as bad as Granda in PSO was.

Take a look at broadcom's employee heirarchy.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more diverse than vmware's subcontinent subculture.

Such a pathetic man. Almost as bad as Raghu.

Well I guess what we think if him won't matter, he made a boat load of money that most of us would ever see in our entire life time.

Did he also state, when they gave him the job, "I'm not even sure why they picked me!" like he did with VMware?

That was the biggest WTF moment when he joined. To the day I am sure he still had no fu--ing clue what was going on.

I heard he considered the purchase of a Burger King franchise in the Bay area.

I'm glad to see that he was able to find work again in the tech sector. Just goes to show you, that no matter what people may say about your prior performance, you may get lucky. Keep looking!

That makes 38,000 of us.
