customers adopt critical cloud initiatives, will be a huge benefit
to Citrix and all of our partners and customers. Mark joins an
experienced Citrix leadership team, many of whom have also helped
other leading companies with their cloud transformations.”
In Ferrer’s expansive role at SAP, he was primarily responsible
