And Asia.

Many westerners have messed up big time in Asia because they did not
understand the culture.

To me the most significant is that she is not ex-DEC (or ex-IBM
or ex-bigcorpwhatever). That must give a different perspective on VMS.

She joined a small company with a niche OS that she need to get to
prosper and grow.

She did not join the second largest IT company in the world (DEC
80's) with one of the worlds major OS (VMS 80's), has seen
it decline over several decades and want to "resurrect" it.

Nothing wrong with being old (I am old!). But experience leaves an
impact on ones thinking.

She could be the right person to move VSI and VMS into the 2030's.
