Sounds expected based on that statement, so it seems like it should be a pretty seamless transition. Former CEO with sales and marketing background trains the next CEO who comes from a sales and marketing background.

Curious on the timing of this given the major changes happening right now with AI. New blood is good to get renewed energy at the top. At the same time the experience will be missed.

Somewhat on this topic... does anyone recommend any good places for a crash course in AWS? I'm close to an offer for a place that uses Talend on a AWS instance. I'm 12 years into my career and have never used AWS. I understand the fundamentals (direct connect from data center , load balancing, etc).  Closest I have ever come was converting some local Python scripts to a daily AWS job. But that project sputtered out because of the crazy SDLC requirements the employer required across 7 different time zones and all sorts of staff who had no idea what our scripts were doing
