Yes, yesterday I was asked to represent California for another very important forum at CeBIT in Hannover, Germany.
I have the privilege to be side by side with some very important and powerful industry experts and share my ideas with them and the world at the biggest ICT show today.

I will be speaking together with Teri Takai, Chief Information Officer – State of California and Vishal Sikka, Chief Technologie Officer, SAP Labs. Our forum is moderated by Fabian Bahr, Head of International Affairs – BITKOM. 

This is big for me. It’s hard to imagine that18 years ago, when I came to California I had $200 in my pocket and spoke very little English. Today, I am on my 3rd successful startup, I live in the best place on Earth if you ask me and I have great friends and family to support me.

Here is more information on my speaking engagement at CeBIT next week. If you want to get in for FREE at CeBIT, please let me know. We still have complimentary eTickets available and will share them with you.
