Lots of firsts tomorrow: my first AFL game to watch live 🏉, first #arubameridian powered game at @OptusStadium - which is our first 🏟 customer in Australia 🇦🇺. Can’t wait, wish us luck!🤘🤞
Alright so.. I have joined @celonaio back in July. Did not mean to keep it a secret, just been busy 😬 I am lucky to join @rajeevshah0514 (CEO), @Yavuz72Mehmet (CTO), @revolutionwifi (solutions engineering) and others in the team for this exciting journey ahead. 👍
I will be looking to partner up with team members who I can continue to learn from and can help us grow this small venture of ours @celonaio. Ping me and let's chat. Here is what's on my agenda in the days and months ahead, in no particular order:
1- Start establishing a premium brand. 2- Accelerate analyst and press outreach. 3- Influence the creation of a new tech category. 4- Kickoff marketing ops and demand programs. 5- Establish a channel program and enablement.

5th day, this time in Istanbul, less than 24 hours before the voting starts for #secim2019 here in 🇹🇷.
The level of FUD spread by AKP friendly media has reached new highs. Never seen anything like it. The “other side” is literally being blamed for nominating candidates and asking for votes: basically what the basis of an election.
The most discouraging stat I have heard so far during the election season: level of distrust between different groups of Turks have never been worse. This might backfire against AKP, as people will want to escape the divisive rhetoric.
Second set of observations from #Secim2019 after some reading and TV watching.
1. Going beyond extreme lack of coverage for anything except “AKP-MHP Cumhur İttifakı”, government friendly TV and radio channels (there are a ton, each acting fair & balanced) openly spread FUD against any opponent.
2. That said, Cumhur’s opponents (“CHP-IYI Millet İttifakı”) are letting them get away with it. Lack of organizational and political skills are visible: complaining about unfair treatment, they are always playing defense. 🇹🇷 never ever voted for the best defense.
Cisco “DNA” reads just like Aruba from the early days.🕵🏻♂️
Reads like it, but not quite like it. It’s software defined access tech seems to require Cisco hardware end to end. So, it’s hardware defined. Kinda obvious. 🤷🏻♂️ I’ll keep reading.
