Today marks my last day at CCH Tagetik. Although it's a bittersweet moment for me, I'm leaving the company incredibly thankful for the last 12+ years. I've had the pleasure of working with and becoming friends with so many wonderful people. I'm sure I will inevitably miss many people in my shout out but I found myself thinking about the journey this AM and have to thank a few people!
Arthur Podbielski - thank you for being my intro and foot in the door to a company called Tagetik back in 2013! All because of your Aunt and that Polish connection!
Kevin Gray &
Andrew Purdy - thank you for giving a kid an opportunity at his first "real job".
Mark Corsetti - thanks for being a genuine good guy and even though it was an innocent mistake calling me "Tom" at our first dinner, you indirectly taught me that I have to make a name for myself at this company if I want to be successful.
Anton Niculescu - thank you for creating a culture of meritocracy back in 2015 & teaching me more about sales than I ever thought I could learn
Paul Giardina - thank you for being a voice of reason during some turbulent times
David Kasabian - thank you for approving a "special bonus" early in my career. Although the $ amount may be considered insignificant to many, you taught me that hard work can be rewarded no matter what the "rules" are.
Irene Salvini Paolo Angeli - thank you for teaching me you can be a "Tagetik shark" and have infinite compassion at the same time
Stephen Silvestro - thank you for showing me how a "real executive" behaves and leads an organization.
Alessio Lolli - thanks doesn't cover it but I appreciate you giving me a shot at this whole "presales thing" even though my biggest fear was/is public speaking!
Mark J. Macaluso - thank you for reminding me that although work is important, there is nothing more important than family and to cherish every second.
Ralf Gärtner - thank you for your trust and sponsorship. I have no doubt my career at WK would have been different without your belief in my professional growth
Karen Abramson - thank you for your relentless commitment to our growth in North America and removing so many obstacles for our business.
Marco Pierallini Manuel Vellutini - of course none of this would have been possible without your entrepreneurial spirit. More importantly, thank you for your amazing passion, commitment and your never-ending belief that people are the most important part of any business and with the right people you can do anything in life.
