Congratulations on your upcoming promotion.
My best department chair was a master mariner (ship’s captain) from India. He was part of the search committee that hired me and we worked together as colleagues for almost 18 years. He left for a better position and two successors knew nothing about our industry and they were white!
Thanks! In our company, since we are slowly migrating to cloud, the two kinds of Architects are blended. I will be both: Systems Architect and Cloud Architect.
