About
Greg A. Lato (latoga)
After many internal struggles trying to classify latoga labs, I realized that it is really my career blog. With over 15 years of experience managing, building, and selling technology based solutions, I have a very diverse background across multiple technology sectors and businesses. Over this period my focus quickly centered on the value that technology can bring to a business; I have also been in the center that revolution that new technologies has brought to multiple business sectors.
This purpose of this blog is to provide a place where I can write about my experiences, thoughts, and the stuff that I find most exciting about this great ride I find myself on. Over the history of this blog, I have discussed many areas as my focus areas have naturally shifted with my career and interests. Interestingly enough, I always find nearly everything from the past relating to something in the future.
In my current day job with VMware, I help my global customers realize the benefits of virtualization and help them understand the current and future ways that this technology can be used to impact their businesses. In this capacity, I have found this blog to be a valuable tool to help keep my customers in touch with various developments from VMware…hence the VMW Launchpad.
