In this podcast, I talk to Simran Singh, Vice President, Strategy and Business Development for Hyperwallet, a Paypal company acquired in 2018, about his career path.

Prior to Hyperwallet, Simran was a Senior Product Manager at VMware where he joined after graduating from business school. Before business school, Simran worked at Baring Private Equity Asia, the largest private equity fund in Asia. Simran was one of the earliest employees of Parthenon's education practice and helped launch schools in more than 25 countries around the world including Chile, Zambia, Mexico, UAE, Singapore, UK, etc.

Simran is a Palmer Scholar graduate from the Wharton School of Business and Director's Medallist from IIT Delhi (Computer Science and Mathematics).

I got to know Simran while he was at VMware. He worked in my Product Management team. I knew from his first days at VMware, that Simran was a superstar. I have stayed loosely connected, watching his rise to where he is today.

I have always been impressed with Simran's thoughtful and humble approach to solving problems and his strong commitment to delivering on time and with high quality.

I think that you will enjoy my interview with Simran!

DGM 45: John Dolan - Technical Support Executive Now a Strategic Advisor

In this podcast, I interview John Dolan, Strategic Advisor and Board Member at Ascend Cloud Solutions.

Prior to taking on this position, John was Global Vice President for the Software-Defined Data Center Support at VMware.

John spent more than 14 years at VMware in the Technical Support organization, where he led global organizations across EMEA and APJ. He did this from Cork, Ireland where he also held the role of Campus Site Lead.

Prior to VMware, John spent a number of years working for EMC in Technical Support, helping them to build a support team in Ireland.

I got to know John while at VMware when I was in engineering within the Integrated Systems Business Unit. I was working on designs for VMware customer deployments and John was providing support of these same customers. I then had a chance to spend a lot of time with John and his team when I joined the leadership team in Global Services.

I really enjoyed working with John. He was incredibly focused on helping customers to be successful. I was helping redefine how we supported customers by moving us to a proactive model, delivering new capabilities such as chat, and delivering in product support. To do this, John and I had to work through the many challenges in scaling this to the huge number of customers that VMware has.

I am super excited that John has taken on a new role with Ascend Cloud Solutions. His experience, expertise, and work ethic will help Ascend to be successful.

I hope you enjoy my interviews with John!
