Congratulations to Jonathan
I remember the first time I met Jonathan Schwartz. It was several years back, not too long after he joined Sun through the acquisition of his startup. He was doing marketing or something for an obscure part of the company.
“You gotta meet this guy,” said the Sun PR person. And she was right. We had a great conversation, and I’ve stayed in touch with Jonathan ever since. It was clear he was going places (at Sun or elsehwere). Jonathan has a rare combination of deep technical knowledge with business savvy, and a lively mind that comes through in his blog. Not to mention the significance of him having a blog, which he absolutely writes himself, and where he doesn’t hesitate to speak his mind! So, although it wasn’t a great shock when Jonathan was named CEO of Sun this week, it was still a welcome development.
I’m looking forward more than ever to my “fireside chat” with Jonathan at Supernova.
