My name is Nathan Hudson and I live in the Horicon, WI area.  I’m an empty-nester with my wife Lisa for over 30 years together, with my three kids Jenna (husband Tony and granddaughter Sophia), Ryan (and wife Kristin), and Kyle. Yes, I’m a Wisconsinite, use the word bubbler, soda, and some would say a little too much Norwegian based on my accent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where do I work?<\/h2>\n\n\n

I’ve completed 4 years in the Office of the CTO, Ambassador program and plan to re-apply once I complete my mandatory 1 year off.  The VMware CTO Ambassador (CTOA) program is focused on creating and developing technology focused communities that span R&D and the field. This enables the effective flow of information and knowledge, backwards and forwards, between R&D and the field, and ultimately with our customers and partners, which in turn drives more profitable relationships, greater revenue, and new and improved products. The CTOA program’s specific mission falls into four main areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. To disseminate information and knowledge from Office of the CTO and Research and Development, to our field, partners and customers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. To aggregate, distill and feedback field, partner and customer insights to R&D, to better inform and drive strategy and products.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. To develop and grow technical talent in the field.\u200b<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. To create and maintain the communities which facilitate the above.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
