Since he helped build the highly successful ship that is VMware, it is widely expected the company’s CEO Raghu Raghuram, appointed in June, won’t rock that boat too much, at least in the near term.
Raghuram is credited with helping build and grow the company’s core virtualization and multicloud business as well as its software-defined data center strategy. VMware also credits Raghuram with driving partnerships with Dell Technologies and hyper-scaler customers.
Since being appointed a little over 100 days ago, Raghuram has been focused on those efforts but also growing the company’s multicloud software subscription and SaaS business.
