I’ve got a new gig (read the announcement) and need to update my usual disclaimer.
Data and bugs
My name is Charlie Schick. I am Director of Marketing, Public Sector at Netezza, an IBM company (read the announcement). I am also a determined practical microbiologist with a wide range of interests (listed in part on my About page).
What happens here?
I haven’t been as prolific as in the old days. Also, I am sure I irritated everyone with site changes in the past months (moved to new hosted platform). So if you’re still reading this site, thanks a ton for still thinking I have something of value for you. I hope at least that I have expanded your mind as I travel into cutting edge areas in biology and data.
Standard Disclaimer (riffing off of Cringley)
Everything I write here on this site is an expression of my own opinions, NOT of my employer, IBM. If these were the opinions of IBM, the site would be called ‘IBM something’ and, for sure, the writing and design would be much more professional. Likewise, I am an intensely trained professional writer :-P, so don’t expect to find any confidential secret corporate mumbo-jumbo being revealed here. Everything I write here is public info or readily found via any decent search engine or easily deduced by someone who has an understanding of the industry.
On the flip side, this is my personal site. Please don’t flood me with ideas that you think IBM might be interested in. There are other channels for such biz dev, and this site is not part of them.
Congrats, Charlie! Sounds like an exciting position for you, I’m sure you’ll do great.
