I am an seasoned technology and sales professional who has worked in both pre-sales and post-sales roles and in Customer Operations roles over my career. I am a self starter who works well both independently and in a team environment. I have been successful at every step of my career - whether it was helping launch the Iridium Satellite System while at Motorola SATCOM or taking a startup Internet Service Provider (softAware) to the next level to be acquired or selling into Enterprise, SMB, and SLED customers at Hughes, EMC, Brocade, Broadcom and Faction. I feel that I am an asset to any organization that I join. I am willing to relocate for the right opportunity.
For Market Monday, I continue to look at the same key indicator that I take from a simple Yahoo Finance webpage each week. It’s how I look at things through the lens of the closing bell on Monday.
Last week…

Previously, I decided on a view from Yahoo Finance. For example, this was a view of intraday in Technology which usually gets around a dozen or so interesting companies when the market is moving and a smaller handful of companies when the market is not moving as much.
Market Cap (Intraday): Mid Cap and Large Cap and Mega Cap
Price (Intraday):greater than or equal 5
Volume:greater than 15000
Sector: Technology
Industry: Software—Infrastructure and Information Technology Services and Computer Hardware and Software—Application and Communication Equipment and Electronics & Computer Distribution and Consumer Electronics and Electronic Components and Scientific & Technical Instruments and Semiconductor Equipment & Materials and Semiconductors

The tech news story that caught my eye this week was Microsoft claiming next-generation closed-loop cooling data center designs will consume zero water.
By Friday, everything seems to be reaching the peak of getting news turned in before a deadline or dread-line. It sometimes seems like we reach a fever pitch in news coverage throughout the week.
Peak 🏔️ vs. Peek 👀
Then there is a trope, cliché, or bromide about slow news days and the quietly mentioned news updates sent on a Friday — to try and sneak it past wider coverage. Or, in a nutshell, peak patronizing publishing.
In that spirit, here are a few stories that you might have missed on the slow news of a Friday.
