My name is not Gidget

Not really, no not at all. And I can’t even surf. And yes, that is a scary video for me to know about (thank you, Oh Great False God Google) and even more scary for you if you clicked on the link.

Nor do I wear a wimple whilst flying, or at any other time.

But I can say, “You like me, you really like me”.

Not the Academy Awards

I know, more blathering, but that’s just me being bashful about something that you, my adoring/tolerant/frankly bored reading public have done: elected me a member of the ODTUG board.

All kidding aside, I never thought I would get elected, particularly on the first go round. I am beyond pleased, humbled, and more than a little scared.

Thank you so much for taking a flier on me. I hope I don’t disappoint.

The future and thanks again

It’s often dangerous to make promises if you aren’t sure you can deliver on them. This may be why I am a semi-successful consultant and not a fan of politicians. Regardless, getting onto the board was the outcome of an election.

What I know I can do is to serve you, the Oracle EPM community, and the rest of the Oracle world as best I can. I am more than open to suggestions and comments. You can always contact me through LinkedIn.

I look forward to this – it’s going to be a lot fun.

And thanks for your confidence in me.
