Yeah, so I've spent a small amount of time at Silverlake as an operating partner.
IPC actually was owned by Silverlake initially, and I became the CEO of that company when Silverlake was the majority owner of that company.
We then transformed that business, was able to transact and sell the business to another buyer.
And I then came back to the homestead at Silverlake and ultimately got involved in a number of deals and
I raised my hand and said, put me in, coach.
I see you guys were able to strike this deal with ServiceMax.
You need a new executive team.
I want in the game.
I like running teams, Nathan.
I don't like being in anything other than the environment that I'm in.
And I said, look, if the opportunity exists, put me in and let me run the company because it's something very unique that I hadn't seen previously in my career.
So I really wanted in to make a difference in the company.
And for the last three and a half years, this team's done a remarkable job so far.
running ServiceMax.
I'm pretty proud of the progress we've made.
Yeah, I'm not going to tell you the equity piece.
It's actually something I've forgotten, quite frankly.
As I said, I'm going to turn 45 in a month or so, and I'm at the position in my life where I've been lucky to have been in very significant positions before ServiceMax.
I started a little early, and I'm now really focusing on how could I scale this team?
How could I ensure that our team is actually getting all the things that I got for the last 20 years?
