In the preceding post I attempted to describe my gratitude and farewell thoughts.
I am glad to announce that as of Monday I will be joining Hoodiny Entertainment Group. This opportunity was extremely welcomed as I realized my readiness for the next challenge. I have met the development and executive team at Hoodiny on numerous occasions and am fully confident that we will continue to achieve great things together.
This opportunity happened a bit out of serendipity. As a good friend of mine once said:
“Life is about serendipity, be ready for it.”
I am anxious and excited about taking on this new journey and glad to have once again be given the chance to make a difference. Isn’t that what life is all about? There will be challenges, there will be failures, thankfully for from those same failures, greatness can be achieved.
Today is my last day at Todobebe. I have quickly realized how much I will miss the entire team. A team who kicked so much ass – and took so many names I would need an entire book to transcribe all accounts.
While at Todobebe I had the pleasure of working with extremely talented team players. People like Rich Cavanaugh who hired me and gave me a chance to shine. Chris Saylor who’s skills are, scary, to say the least. David Reckles, our CTO who taught me the importance of great communication and mitigation skills. Leslie Chavez who put up with a group of developers and became our official bucket of sunshine.
While at Todobebe I also had the opportunity to hire Roberto Soares and Dante Regis two of most capable and self-disciplined software developers I have ever met.
It is by no means a surprise that with such a team we achieved great things. From our adoption of Agile methodologies, thanks to Patrick Curtain, to amazingly effective development and superb software quality.
I appreciate the trust bestowed upon me by the entire executive team and would like to take this opportunity to once again thank Jeannette, Gillian, Cynthia, Michael, Allison, Cathy, Carol, Rogelio, Rick, Kevin, Damian, and everyone else, team member or vendor that I have ever dealt with while at Todobebe.
I would like to wish Todobebe continued success and to make known that I will be forever thankful and always just a phone call away.
