This year I became a vice president at IBM, and when I look back at the journey I took to get here, its obvious that I wasnt alone. Ive had great mentors (Martin, Alyse, Bob, Frank, and a host of other names that wont fit here). Ive had clients who partnered with me for joint success and who inspired me to learn and do more for them. And Ive had the chance to work with some incredible practitioners who found a way to challenge me to not let good enough be good enough. Perhaps the one relationship Ive taken for granted during the decade since I left the group is my relationship with the development team. These folks are not only the best innovators in the business, but theyve supported my quest for knowledge and my drive to communicate details about the great work that theyve been doing for years, and I want to thank them for that. I really want to thank a recent IBM retiree and IBM Fellow, Curt Cotner. Although I didnt get as much time with Curt as I would have loved to, the time that I did get made me so much smarter. I remember taping calls with Curt (sounds creepy, doesnt it?) and putting them on my iPad to engrave in my brain the things hed talk aboutAn incredible talent. I also want to thank my US HR partner, Debbie Burack, who works tirelessly for my division.

To Kelly: I didnt come this far alone, and couldnt have done it without a solid partner by my side. Finally, to Chlo: I often feel guilty about our time together because theres always a phone call coming in or someone is messaging me, but I do cherish the time that we spend together. I cherish your presence and find it calming and uplifting.

In loving memory of my parents, Rose and Reuben Lightstone.

Id like to thank a very large number of family members, friends, and colleagues, without whose help Id never have had the opportunities that I have. Notably, Id like to thank my wife Jennifer, who is the most amazing woman ever: talented artist, mom, farmer, cattle rancher, and awesome wife who has supported me despite my many faults over the years. I also want to thank my two lovely boys, Hayden (nine) and Julian (six), the nicest kids a dad could ever ask for. Finally, thanks to a large number of colleaguesin particular, Matt Huras, who has been a mentor to me since my first day at IBM, and who has given me so many opportunities. I could not be more fortunate than to work with such a high caliber of colleagues who have helped to bring me so far; so thanks also to Christian Garcia-Arellano, Keri Romanufa, Ronen Grosman, and Kevin Rose, to name but a few.
