My impression of him at VMware was very beancounter-y, not especially technical, and too caught up in personal vendettas and status games to make good technical leadership decisions.&lt;p&gt;Granted, I may have just gotten off on the wrong foot. The first thing he said to Pivotal during the acquisition announcement was, “You were our cousins, but you’re now more like children.” So the whole tone was just weird.</text></comment>
