DGM 60: John Gilmartin Interview - Balancing the Urgent and the Important, While Remaining Incredibly Calm

Published: April 5, 2020, 11 a.m.

In this podcast, I interview John Gilmartin, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Hyperconverged Infrastructure Business Unit at VMware.

John has been in high tech for all of his career. He started as a consultant at Marakon Associates, moved to Dell as a brand manager, then to VMware in product management. He left VMware to try working at a small company. He joined Coraid to run product marketing. He then returned to VMware and has quickly grown his responsibility to the role that he has today.

John has a computer science degree from Princeton and took some time out during his career to go back and get his MBA from Harvard.

I got to know John at VMware and worked for him for a couple of years. John is an incredibly well-rounded leader and manager that does a great job of balancing the urgent with the important, all while remaining incredibly calm.

I know you will get a lot out of my conversation with John!
