After an incredible 5 1/2 years at LinkedIn working with an amazing group of people that humble and inspire me every day, I've taken a career break to refresh and renew, and spend some time with my two beautiful daughters. We are heading off for some extended travel around Asia for the next 6 months. I'm looking forward to spending some time surfing, my wife is looking forward to massages and cocktails, and my daughter has specifically requested we go somewhere with a ballpit.
