The Great Digital Frontier

You’ve been at VMware for almost two years as the Chief Digital Transformation Officer and are now Chief Operating Officer. What does this mean for you and your team?

core/paragraph

We are still the same team - laser-focused on improving the experiences of our customers, partners, and colleagues. What this change really represents for our team is how critically important Operations is in driving VMware’s growth and success.

One of the many great things about VMware is our ability to evolve. As we shift our business model to as-a-service, a company’s operations become increasingly visible to our customers. At the same time their expectations about the ease of business have skyrocketed. They want flexibility, speed and agility, and Operations is how you deliver that. Put simply, the back-office has become the front-office. Almost overnight, Operations became a strategic, customer-facing, and revenue driving function.

It’s interesting to think of the “back-office becoming the front-office.” What’s something else you wish more people knew about Operations?

Operations is so much more than a cost-center. You hear a lot about “Product-Led Growth” out there in the industry — the idea that products can be so good that they sell themselves. While that’s important, it only takes you so far. Our customers are complex and solving some of the hardest problems in the world. They need the best products and services, and an experience that only comes with elite Operations.

In other words, <a href="https://news.vmware.com/leadership/the-new-frontier-operations-led-growth">"Operations-Led Growth"</a> is a real thing, and not enough people think about it this way. As competition heightens, the companies that think like this will rise to the top. It is a huge source of customer value – not an afterthought or merely an efficiency play.

You have a different background than many leaders we meet in tech: from Navy SEAL Commander to Director at the National Security Council for Presidents Bush and Obama, to hedge fund COO, to strategic operations leader at a global technology services company. How does this influence the way you lead at VMware?

Great question. My first reaction is that I don’t think of this company — or the world — as divided into leaders and followers. Everyone at VMware is a leader. We’re all leaders and followers — and the key is to know when to be which. That one insight has informed everything I’ve done over my career.

Another observation that’s important to keep in mind is that top organizations are all doing essentially the same thing: solving really hard problems in unpredictable environments. So, what do you do? You build a world-class team and teach them how to think, not what to think, so that they’re ready to pivot.

It’s no longer enough to have a great strategy and plan at the top and simply rely on others to execute. You need the operational rigor to make fast decisions – across silos – so you can adapt when things inevitably change.  

Thank you! Before we let you go, how about a get-to-know-you-speed-round?

Favorite movie?

New skill you’d like to learn?

360 shuvit on the wakeboard (look it up!).

Favorite family tradition?

Saying grace before dinner to appreciate what we have, and ask for others to be provided for as we have.

Bucket-list travel destination?

To visit a peaceful Afghanistan and Iraq.

Favorite thing about your spouse?

Incredible sense of humor - often deservedly at my expense.

UPDATED July 27, 2022

The following announcement has been updated. The release of VMware Carbon Black Cloud on AWS GovCloud (US) is delayed, the offering is now  expected to be available in August 2022.

VMware Government Services helps agencies accelerate innovation across data centers, cloud and the edge for mission success

PALO ALTO, CA -- VMware Inc. (NYSE: VMW), a leading innovator in enterprise software, today announced that it has achieved Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) High Authorization through the Joint Authorization Board (JAB) for VMware Government Services, which includes VMware Carbon Black Cloud and VMware SD-WAN on AWS GovCloud (US). These cloud services are designed to empower US government agencies and customers supporting the US government to migrate, manage, and operate sensitive workloads in the cloud. VMware Government Services is now available on the <a href="https://marketplace.fedramp.gov/#!/product/vmware-government-services-vgs?sort=productName&productNameSearch=vmware">FedRAMP Marketplace</a>.

Across the public sector, agencies are laying the groundwork for multi-cloud-adoption. With expanded FedRAMP Authorized offerings at the High Impact Level, VMware can help agencies accelerate their digital transformation timelines. VMware Government Services provides software-as-a-service, platform-as-a-service, and infrastructure-as-a-service capabilities, delivering modern applications at the speed that government agencies demand and enabling them to operate across data centers, the edge, and cloud. VMware Carbon Black Cloud, VMware SD-WAN and VMware Cloud on AWS GovCloud (US), are cost-effective, more secure and compliant offerings that government agencies can now seamlessly leverage to modernize their infrastructures and accelerate multi-cloud initiatives.

“VMware continues to invest to help government agencies leverage the power of the cloud and evolve IT infrastructures,” said Jennifer Chronis, vice president, public sector, VMware. “Achieving expanded FedRAMP authorizations enables us to meet our customers wherever they are on their digital transformation journeys to help them innovate faster and create resiliency while adhering to the highest security and compliance standards. These additional accreditations further our commitment to our public sector customers to help them better serve and meet mission demands.” (<a href="https://twitter.com/jenniferchronis">Twitter</a>,<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-chronis-4a11745/"> LinkedIn</a>)

Empowering the Public Sector to See and Stop More Threats

VMware Carbon Black Cloud on AWS GovCloud (US) has received FedRAMP High authorization amid an increasing demand by federal agencies for cloud-delivered security. Public sector customers can now deploy the modern endpoint security and advanced workload protection required to stay one step ahead of adversaries as geopolitically fueled cyberattacks increase. This authorization underscores VMware Carbon Black Cloud’s ability to prevent, detect, and respond to threats on endpoints and server workloads from a single console for improved visibility and simplified operations. Powered by VMware Contexa, VMware Carbon Black Cloud delivers authoritative intelligence that enables federal customers to correlate threats across their environments.

This designation solidifies VMware Carbon Black Cloud’s position as a trusted security platform helping the US government protect its most critical assets. As a founding member of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative, VMware is also a trusted national security partner participating in public-private sector collaboration, threat intelligence sharing and cyber defense planning. In addition, VMware Carbon Black Cloud is pursuing authorization to operate at Department of Defense (DoD) Impact Level (IL-4) to expand its federal footprint to U.S. DoD and Defense Industrial Base customers.

Secure, Reliable Access to Cloud Apps & Services from Anywhere

VMware SD-WAN is an industry-leading software-defined WAN solution, that connects users across distributed locations more safely, reliably, and efficiently to cloud-based applications, cloud services and agency data centers. The anywhere workforce has become the new normal for many government agencies. Modernizing agency networks with VMware SD-WAN on AWS GovCloud will improve remote employee productivity with more secure and optimized application access while simplifying operations and maximizing ROI. VMware SD-WAN is the only SD-WAN solution today to receive FedRAMP High Authorization that complements government agencies’ cloud-smart adoption with assured performance for mission-critical applications in the cloud. In addition, VMware SD-WAN is a key enabler for agencies to deliver on their vision of 5G and edge compute by eliminating IT complexity while delivering greater efficiency and faster deployment. Agencies can leverage VMware SD-WAN as a critical component of a multi-layered security strategy to help accelerate their journey towards a zero-trust architecture.

Enabling Accelerated Multi-Cloud Adoption

In April, VMware Cloud on AWS GovCloud (US) achieved FedRAMP High JAB authorization as well as DISA Impact Level 5 (IL5) provisional authorization. VMware Cloud on AWS GovCloud (US) supports critical public sector use cases, including data center extension, cloud migration, virtual desktops, disaster recovery, and application modernization. Now in its third year of operation, VMware Cloud on AWS GovCloud (US) is serving a wide range of mission owners with availability in both US-East and US-West.

VMware is committed to achieving FedRAMP authorization for additional services. VMware Government Services will help fast-track authorizations enabling agencies to accelerate innovation and multi-cloud adoption on VMware’s trusted digital foundation.

VMware Research Reveals Agencies are Navigating Compliance, Security and Upskilling Employees Amid Cloud Adoption

Today, at the <a href="https://upgather.com/vmware/public-sector-innovation-summit/">Public Sector Innovation Summit</a>, VMware announced findings from a study on how government agencies are scaling use of multi-cloud environments for mission success. The study, titled “<a href="https://www.vmware.com/learn/1380503_REG.html?src=wb_624ed0c315228&cid=7012H000001KaLSQA0">Multi-cloud Is The New Frontier Of Government IT</a>," conducted by Forrester Consulting, found while the move to multi-cloud is a priority, agencies face challenges supporting growing cloud environments, including compliance standards, data security and upskilling employees.

A ‘Cloud‑Smart’ Approach for the Public Sector

The survey captures responses from more than 500 agency leaders and IT decision-makers at federal, state, and local governments in the United States and Canada and discovered that while agencies are accelerating cloud adoption, multi-cloud environments are far more diverse, complex, and distributed than anything organizations have managed in the past. This can create barriers or force trade-offs between moving fast and managing risk. The challenge lies in finding the right tools and platforms to meet agency demands and keep data and processes safe and compliant. The study found when selecting cloud platform providers, the top priorities for agencies were: 

Talent Paired with Technology

To achieve a faster and smarter path to multi-cloud, agencies are focused on scaling security and upskilling employees in tandem with cloud adoption. More than half of agencies (57%) expressed concern about data security as they look to increase cloud adoption and 65% of agencies have plans to increase their investment in professional development for their developers.

core/pullquote

“Multi-cloud is the new reality for government agencies but as they increase cloud investments, they also need to lay the technical and cultural foundation,” said Jennifer Chronis, vice president, public sector, VMware. “VMware is uniquely positioned to meet our customers wherever they are on their digital transformation journeys and help them take full advantage of multiple clouds. Across the public sector, we are giving our customers the power to accelerate innovation and improve resiliency on a trusted digital foundation.” (<a href="https://twitter.com/jenniferchronis">Twitter</a>,<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-chronis-4a11745/"> LinkedIn</a>)

VMware’s Public Sector Innovation Summit brings together leading technologists from the private sector, along with IT leaders and experts from federal, state, and local government. This year’s theme, “A Holistic Multi-Cloud for Mission Success,” explores how agencies can reimagine mission success innovating across clouds.

Methodology

VMware commissioned a survey, undertaken by an independent research organization, Forrester Consulting, in March 2022. 501 agency leaders and IT decision-makers at federal, state, and local governments were surveyed on cloud practices including strategy, process, and solutions. The research was conducted in the United States and Canada.

VMware Explore Unveiled - VMware News and Stories

PALO ALTO, Calif. – March 11, 2022 – VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW), a leading innovator in enterprise software, today announced registration is <a href="https://whova.com/portal/registration/wttce_202204">open </a>for the seventh annual Women Transforming Technology (WT2) Conference, being held from April 11-12, 2022. Everyone is invited to participate in the conference, which is now in its third year as a virtual event.

WT2 is designed to continue the important conversation on championing and advancing women across the technology industry. This year’s conference theme is “Elevate Joy” and features inspiring speakers who will share their stories, experiences and key learnings in tech, their careers and personal lives.

The program will focus on new technologies that are creating positive impact and generating excitement in the world today, along with the ways women are overcoming challenges and creating greater opportunities and experiences in their communities—both personally and professionally.

“Post-pandemic, as we continue to navigate crises around the globe, an important dialogue is taking place on mental health, burnout and the desire for a renewed sense of purpose in our work,” said Betsy Sutter, Executive Vice President and Chief People Officer at VMware. “We hope this year’s conference, which is available and free to everyone, provides a community for women to find inspiration and discover excitement again about our work, our technology, and our careers.”

On March 5, VMware announced its suspension of all business operations in Russia and Belarus, and the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine. We stand with Ukraine, and we commend the bravery of the Ukrainian people. The human toll is devastating and like other global businesses, we are committed to supporting our Ukrainian team members, customers and partners. We are also seeking to support non-Ukraine-based employees with family members located in Ukraine with information to access available resources. We continue to support our employees in Russia, as they are adversely impacted by the consequences of their government’s actions. The suspension of operations includes suspension of all sales, support, and professional services in both countries in line with VMware’s commitment to comply with sanctions and restrictions. We are committed to preparedness and vigilance in this fluid situation and will comply with all applicable restrictions on the export and re-export of our products and services.

We’re working to help protect customers in Ukraine from cyberattacks and loss of continuity. For example, we are working with customers and partners in Ukraine – including large financial entities – to help migrate data center applications and workloads out of the country to other European data centers. We’re providing 90 days of free services to support that effort. 

We are also working with governments and customers across the globe to provide digital infrastructure and cybersecurity assistance. As a founding member of the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative (JCDC) convened by the U.S. Cyber and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), VMware is actively aligned with a global network of industry and public sector organizations focused on early warning and rapid response efforts to protect critical infrastructure.

<a>Frequently Asked Questions</a>

Q: How does the conflict in Ukraine impact VMware’s business?

A: In addition to monitoring the safety and wellbeing of our employees in the region, our top priorities are helping customers with their business continuity and mitigating risk from cyber threats. We are closely monitoring the situation in Ukraine and have plans in place to help address customer and partner needs. In addition to suspending business operations in Russia and Belarus, VMware is complying with the sanctions that restrict sales, support and services for customers in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions of Ukraine.
