Really enjoyed talking with @jonfortt about @F5 Q4 earnings – esp about how F5’s expertise with securing apps across multi-cloud environments positions us for the coming wave of distributed AI workloads.

It's important for all of us to be AI-literate – so I highly recommend these educational videos from @codeorg on how #AI works. You don’t need a tech background, just an interest in learning more about this fast-moving #technology that will affect all of us.

For our latest podcast episode, I was thrilled to sit down with our Chairman of the Board, Al Higginson. Al, thanks for offering 40 years of tech insights and your principles for success. I agree: it’s all about the people!

If you’re at #BlackHat, the @F5 booth is waiting for you. We’ve got experts, advice, solutions, and even a few Frankenstack creatures to emphasize our commitment to making app security and delivery easier than ever.

The tech industry needs to better reflect our global communities – and F5 is all @ expanding the talent pool. We’re awarding 10 grants of $50K to improve #STEM access for women & girls of color. Deadline is 8/18, so please share. We can do this! f5.com/company/global…

Had a great trip to our Dallas-area offices last week. As one of our Sales leaders said, “the F5ers and customers in Texas are just as warm as our weather”. True! This warm-weather guy felt right at home -- looking forward to more great things in this great state.

Que viva F5 Revolution! Congrats to our LATAM team for hosting such a successful event last week. Was great to be in Cancun with 400+ customers and partners, showing what our Distributed Cloud platform can do for app security and delivery.

Thanks @TomKrazit for the convo on the state of #software and #security, @F5’s approach to protecting #apps and #APIs, & overlooked security problems in the software supply-chain. Check out the interview with Runtime. runtime.news/f5-ceo-francoi…

Great to connect with @Haripriaa from @businessline about @F5’s expansion in India with our new engineering center in Bengaluru. India is out front on digitalization – and we see much opportunity for growth and innovation. Check out our conversation here: bit.ly/43kr0OI

Last week I had the thrill of opening our new engineering center in Bangaluru, this facility taps into the tremendous talent of this region to drive a new era of innovation for @F5. Big thanks to our India team for making this such a special occasion. f5.com/company/news/p…

Thanks to @CoryTV for having me on the latest episode of “The Drill Down” to discuss the current state of #tech spending and why I believe the current pullback is temporary. Cory is a great host – digs right into the issues of multi-cloud complexity and security. Take a listen.

Thrilled to see the @F5 Board recognized as #1 of the Modern Board 25 selected by @FortuneMagazine. Big thanks to our Directors for reflecting our best values and always making us a better company.

We’re so used to effortless home connectivity, it’s easy to forget how complicated networking can be – esp for #IT teams managing apps in multi-cloud environments. Check out @lmacvittie latest blog on making modern networking work. f5.com/company/blog/m…

Wow, I am totally honored to be a nominee for the 2023 @Geekwire Awards “#CEO of the Year.” Getting included in such an impressive list of leaders and finalists – thrilling and humbling at the same time! geekwire.com/2023/meet-the-…

Lots of great news coming out of @F5 lately. Join our CPO, @ksprague08 on our LinkedIn Live tomorrow to learn how we are creating a better, more secure digital world with Multi-Cloud Networking. #Cloud #HybridIT #Cybersecurity linkedin.com/events/7047221…

The power of employees to effect change: @F5 was just named by @i4cp 2023 Culture Renovation award recipient for “achieving, sustaining, and advancing a healthy, thriving #culture.” Thanks to F5ers for building our human-first & high-performance workplace. i4cp.com/press-releases…

So great to be in DC connecting with customers and partners at the Public Sector Symposium. I even had the oppty to introduce @F5’s new Multi-Cloud Networking features in my keynote. A good day in one of my favorite cities! #PublicSector

Organizations everywhere need to align traditional enterprise networks with digital-first infrastructures to succeed. @F5 CTO shows how our Multi-Cloud Networking solutions help customers move forward with their digital transformations. #MultiCloud f5.com/company/blog/m…

Great to chat with Tom Fountain, head of Global Services & Strategy at @F5, for our podcast on long-term success. For everyone who asked: we'll share a clip of our next episode on new Multi-Cloud Networking & Security features. Watch this space!

Women are only 25% of #cybersecurity workforce. F5 is determined to change this; our most recent D&I report (page 10) shows steady growth in the % of women F5 employees. While there is still a large gap to close, we are making progress - a 25% increase since 2018.
