Shout out by Joe Payne, CEO and President, Eloqua

On March 24, 2010, I reluctantly woke up as I normally do and got ready to work. Took the transit to work  and reached my desk little late. Made my breakfast, Quakers Instant oatmeal and office coffee. So far this is my daily routine. No change and no surprises.

A card enclosed in a envelope was placed on my desk by Executive Assistant for CEO. I curiously opened the card. I was expecting new years greeting card. To my surprise, it was hand written note from CEO and President of Eloqua,  Joe Payne. This is what Joe has to write about me.

"March 24, 2010

Sammy- Just a quick note to say, thanks for all the efforts you have been putting in on the testing of Eloqua 10. Abe and Andre tell me that you have gone out of your way to help the team get up to speed.

WELL DONE- JOE"

I was extremely happy and greatfull for the recognition.
