Supporting F5's vision and strategy
In the conversation, Lori detailed her career and why she chose to forge a career with F5.
"I take very complex subjects and distill them into something people can understand," says Lori in the interview. "I started as a developer which was really fun, and then I moved into this publishing, testing role where we would test all sorts of technical equipment and then write about it."
"I ended up at F5 because I really liked their technology," she adds. "I moved around F5 [...] until I landed in the Office of the CTO to help with strategy, vision and thought leadership."
