 From the Computer Museum in Mountain View, California, it's theCUBE, covering ACG Silicon Valley Grow Awards, brought to you by ACG Silicon Valley. Hey, welcome back everybody. Jeff Frick here with theCUBE. We're at the ACG SV, the 14th Annual Grow Awards, Mountain View, California. They're just about ready to pull everybody into the keynotes where you're able to squeeze in one more interview. You're excited to have Christian Kim, S-T-P-O sales from Dell EMC. Christian, great to meet you. Thank you, Jeff. Good to be here. So, just, you know, Dell EMC merger took place about a year and a half or so ago. Seems like it's doing really well. We'll have Michael on next week. We'll be at Dell Tech World in Vegas. Excellent. And so, you're out on the front lines. You're out on the sales roll. How's it going out there? What's going on with the merger? How are customers digging it? How do you like having all these extra resources at your disposal? Yeah, I would say, Jeff, that's a great question. The integration in the merger has gone exceptionally well, in my opinion, in that first year. I think when you put the two big companies together like that, generally there's going to be a few bumps in the road. But I would say the reception from our customer base has been very positive. I think the biggest thing that we see is just the whole better together message that all of the resources from the strategically aligned businesses like Dell, Dell EMC, Pivotal, VMware, Virtrestream, RSA, and SecureWorks all working together to support the customers. Pretty amazing group of companies. We just had Pat on a little while ago. There was a lot of concern a couple of years ago was going on VMware, and they've really done a great job kind of turning that around, getting together with Amazon and that partnership. RSA was last week, 45,000 people, hot, hot, hot in the security space, and obviously Pivotal just did their IPO last week. So you guys are going to get space. I mean, I remember when Michael first went private, you could tell he was like a kid in a candy store. He talked about the 90-day shot clock. He didn't have to worry about it anymore. So, you know, having an aggressive founder as a leader I think really puts you guys in a great position. It does. When the founder's name's on the building, right, I think generally it sets a good tone for the culture and the objectives for all of the employees across Dell Technologies. Yeah, and he's such a real guy, right? He tweets all the time. You know, he's really out there. And I always find it interesting that there's certain executives that like to tweet, that like to be social. That's Comstock is another one that comes to mind. Pat tweets a little bit when he really does some of his philanthropic things. Michael does as well. Then you have other people that are scared of it. But Michael really wants to be part of the community. Tweeted out today as condolences around the crazy tragedy up in Toronto. So it's really nice to have a person running the organization. Yeah, he's a very active CEO and chairman. Likes to be in front of customers. Very involved with the employee base. I couldn't ask for anything more. Right. Almost out of time, priorities for 2018 were hard to believe a third of the way through. What are some of your priorities? What are you guys working on? What's top of mind? You know, I'd say our priorities, certainly customer focused, right? Focusing on business outcomes. The four areas that we really drive and work closely with our customers on are all about digital transformation, IT transformation, security transformation and workforce transformation. Those are the big things for us this year. It's a good place to be. Thank you very much. All right, well, Christopher, we got to leave it there. Thank you to everybody into the keynote room. So thanks for taking a minute. You got it, my pleasure. All right, he's Christian Kim. I'm Jeff Frick. You're watching theCUBE from the ACGSV Awards Mountain View, California. Thanks for watching.
