🎉 Today I have reached 3 milestones🎉  Milestones 10 years Accenture ✅ 10 years as Consultant ✅ 10 years with the same team ✅ ❓ But wait a minute.. you didn't really work at Accenture for 10 years, did you? No - I started working for Orientation in Objects, proposed by Tanja Schmidt, hired by Dirk Sohn and Tobias Kieninger. After a few years, Orientation in Objects was taken over by Trivadis, which was finally acquired by Accenture. ❓10 years as Atlassian Consultant Not only as an Atlassian consultant, but also as a trainer and developer. I have supported customers with process implementations, customized app implementations and much more around the Atlassian universe. I have met many nice colleagues and inspiring customers and also made some new friends. Do I regret the decision to steer my career in this direction? No - the only thing I sometimes miss is having my own "baby", like a product to be responsible for. ❓10 years with the same Team Yes- I'm proud to work with the same team as I started at Orientation in Objects Matthias Niete my former teamlead, Steffen Schluff my former mentor, Matthias Born who teached me all what I know about Confluence and XML and also Daniel Hecker where a new perspective is right across the corner. 🤯 But wait - that's not the Atlassian team at Accenture? No, definitely not! Our team grew with each of the acquisitions. I'm glad that at least these funny four people are still working with me in the same area as Atlassian Consultants. Together we got to know the people from Trivadis, such as Gunnar Kalb, Nico Zinner, Torsten Hartwig and Michael Cocheteau. Michael is not only an Atlassian ambassador, he is also part of our delivery and a lighthouse for our customers in the stormy Atlassian waters. And then, of course, there are our famous colleagues we now have here at Accenture. This acquisition was a big deal for me and others around the Atlassian Team. We have so many people here at Accenture that I can't mention all of them in this post who have influenced the last years. But I would like to mention a few pioneering examples. There's Rekha Priyesh, who empowers and inspires people, or Patrick Rutke, Isabell Klose and Melissa Posselt, who make great things happen both inside and outside our practice. And, of course, together with our clients. Their curiosity and cheerfulness is always a boost to start the day. ❓ Why do you write such a post about your anniversary It won't be the last one if this kind, I promise. But I wan't to kick off my anniversary series with a huge 🎉 thank you 🎉. You weren't mentioned here? At least for now. Be sure that I'm glad we met and be sure that I also see you as my personal influencer for the journey of the last 10 years. 

🎉 Celebrating a Decade at ServiceNow 🎉 Today marks a significant milestone in my professional journey as I celebrate 10 incredible years at ServiceNow as a full time employee (excludes the 9amazing months as an intern!). I was reminded of this special day via email from our incredible CEO, Bill McDermott . Such a perfect way to start this special day, which is also a company holiday to celebrate Juneteenth!! Reflecting on the past decade, I am awestruck by the phenomenal growth our company has experienced. Growing from 1800 employees to over 24k brightest minds in the industry, we have more number of customers today with north of 1M ACV than the total customer count when I joined, to significantly increased our revenue from 400M to 10B projection for the year, and watched our stock price soar… it’s been nothing short of extraordinary ride & and I wouldn’t have it any other way. My journey here has been nothing short of extraordinary, taking me through various roles in finance, IT, and now product incubation. The learning and growth I've experienced are beyond what I ever imagined. I am truly blessed to have made some incredible friends and collaborate with talented and sharp colleagues every single day. As I look ahead, I am filled with the same excitement and anticipation as I had on my first day. Here’s to the next chapter with ServiceNow! 🚀 #ServiceNow #Milestone #CareerJourney #Teamwork #Innovation #Growth #lifeatnow

RISING UP WITH SERVICENOW (PART 2 OF 3): One particular highlight amidst this journey was the Career Expo orchestrated by Chris Rogers and Ianna Hankinson—a three-day extravaganza that left an indelible mark on my professional psyche. The caliber of participating companies and the ServiceNow team itself was nothing short of awe-inspiring. It was here that I crossed paths with remarkable individuals like Terrance Dendy, CSA, Donté Hooker and #SymoneBerry, #AvaKoshravani, Selina Suarez, MBA whose insights and experiences left an indelible impression. Acknowledgments are due to several individuals who have played an instrumental role in this journey. Samuel "Darre" Popoola, for introducing me to the world of ServiceNow—a chance encounter that altered the course of my professional trajectory. Charmaine T., Emiko Bell, and Tiffany Figueroa, our esteemed instructors and TAs, whose unwavering support and guidance paved the way for our success. Glen Chiasson, whose cohort occasionally intersected with ours, left a lasting impact with his down-to-earth demeanor and insights. To my wife, Aisha Gbade-Bello—a pillar of strength and unwavering support throughout this tumultuous journey. Your sacrifice and unwavering belief in my abilities have been the bedrock upon which this endeavor stands. As I stand on the precipice of a new chapter, I cannot help but marvel at the serendipitous nature of this journey. ServiceNow, once an unfamiliar entity, has now become the focal point of my transition from Advertising Art Director to Non-Technical Product Manager/Owner. It is here, amidst the ever-evolving landscape of IT, that I find myself embarking on a new adventure—a nomadic journey that transcends boundaries and defies convention.
