One of the other things Ludo has been instrumental in driving is business development within the analyst community. As IT changes, what the analysts offer and how we offer it is also changing.

Ludo has been instrumental in helping us find new product areas, in helping us find executives to talk to and to work with us as we create new products, and in helping encourage us to work together as a community.

Ludo’s contribution has been greatly appreciated.

A good summary of Ludovic at IBM STG and I agree with all of your points regarding the man. However I think the timings are sligfhtly off as I first met Ludovic as AR at HDS six years ago. Still he may gone, at least from IBM STG, but he will not be quickly forgotten as he reappears in another guise at Oracle Applications. What next????

Thanks a lot for the note James, I’m glad you thought I made a difference, but of course as you point out not in isolation -the IBM team is great, in particulat Bill Reed is one of the very best around…

To say that Ludo was a valuable member of our team would be an understatement on par with ‘the universe is a might big large’ He will be missed and he better keep in touch!! We don’t loose to Oracle often in engagements but this one is Oracle 1 – IBM 0. Darn.

I will surely miss Ludo, we worked as teammates for a few years when I was part of the mainframe team….and all those talks over beer during our analysts events as well as small chit chats revealed much about him…his love of food for one, he liked my recipe for bacalao ala valenciana or compared the way we make moules normady style; his penchant for processes and use of webtools to make our daily lives simpler, yet sometimes his suggested processes made life more complex. ….last but not least how proud he is to be a loving father and husband.
