I co-founded VMware with my husband, who was a professor at Stanford, after realizing the value of his research and the need to take it to market.

We created the VMware Preferred Hardware Vendor program, which helped us gain traction in the market as other vendors signed up to meet our requirements.

I co-founded VMware in 1998, creating the virtualization industry, which allows multiple operating systems to run on a single computer or across computers.

At VMware, we created a tool that seamlessly migrated workloads from physical to virtual machines, which significantly boosted our sales.

At VMware, we launched the virtualization revolution in 1998 and took the company public in 2007, achieving a market cap of $19.1 billion on the first day.

I'm really honored and humbled to be working with this team to help developers in their day-to-day lives, showcasing innovations that make it easier for them to deliver great apps and experiences for consumers.

There's immense satisfaction in seeing people use a product you've helped build, especially when they don't recognize you as the maker, indicating brand growth.

I feel good about being recognized as a key figure in building Microsoft's enterprise business, but I also regret that we lost our consumer focus along the way.

When I talk about making products users love, I mean creating things that have a passionate user base that unconditionally wants them to succeed, both the products and the companies behind them.
