Now Bob Calderoni (interim CEO) is up on stage. He is thanking the partners for the help growing Citrix. This is his first Summit and some of us don’t really know him so he is introducing himself and the companies he has work with. Apple, IBM are just some examples. “Refocus on the core” is the gist of his message right now.
Foundation on great products, great people, leveraging the huge market share that Citrix has, focus on fewer core things are the recipe for future success. Focus on “secure delivery of apps and data”, it is not always about new products.
By renewing the focus on fewer things Citrix is expecting to accelerate growth, deliver more and better innovation because the investment will also be focus on the core products.
Carlos Santorious is back on stage to talk about how the plan for focus and growth.
