D.J. Eshelman — Fri, 09 Oct 2020 05:20:33 GMT

Guy Leech, aside from an ongoing pun war with the rest of planet Earth. Here's what he sent us: "Guy has been working with products from Citrix, Microsoft and others for over 25 years during which time he has worked for software vendors, Citrix partners, start-ups and most recently, himself. Having been a professional software developer, he specializes in using PowerShell for not just automation in the EUC space but also for troubleshooting; producing many scripts which he shares via GitHub and Twitter, along with tips ’n’ tricks, and also presents at CUGC and similar events. He is also a current Microsoft MVP, VMware vExpert and Citrix CTP and invented and wrote the product that is now Ivanti Application Control, a desktop-oriented security tool." Here's what we think. Guy is a freaking genius. He is one of the most solutions-oriented people we know.
