Best Practices

"Today, Owyang is officially announcing that he’s joining Charlene at Altimeter. However, he’s not alone in this endeavor. Deb Schultz and Ray Wang are also joining the Altimeter team. First, congratulations to everyone. We’re not only friends, we’re partners in the definition of the next landscape for communication, innovation, connectivity, and workflow.
