Meeting with CA's Leadership Team in L.A.

Just got back from a fantastic trip to Los Angeles, where we met as CA's leadership Team. Our primary objective was to have indepth conversations regarding our vision and future. We had great conversations and times of sharing. Here are just a few pictures of our time together.

We met in the livingroom of Michael & Rita Warren in Thousand Oaks. It's pretty big living room, by Dutch standards, but then it's a pretty big team! On the team are: Rob Fairbanks (Prez), Dudley Callison (Dir. of Operations), Rita Warren (chairwoman of the BOD), Steve Adams (dir. Latin America), Dan Steigerwald (Dir. North America), Micheal Katzenberger (Dir. Eastern Europe and Russia) and Kevin Johnson and myself (Dirs. Western Europe). Oh, and of course Bob Gerken (dir. of Finance).

Any discussion of vision of course requires a ton of post-its!

My friend and colleague Kevin Johnson, with whom I lead CA's work in Europe.

I'm told the key to understanding this picture is knowing where Rob's hands are!
