End of 2011, I was fortunate enough to spend a fair amount of time talking to both Nigel Beighton (CTO / VP Rackspace International) and Professor Tony West (CTO / VP Cisco) before their visits to University of Kent. I find both leaders have great traits for us to learn. They are focused, time efficient and great team players / motivators.
Driven by clear visions and open to discussions, and most of all, they are very down to earth. Their visions, coming from years of experience (and long difficult roads), allow them to see through complications to their goals. This emphasised the fact that good things doesn’t come over night. It takes years of preparation, determination to follow through. Pleased to be working with and learning from them.
