What happens when you quit your graduate program and land in New York City with nothing but instinct and 13 weeks to find a job? For Harry Labana, it led to an unexpected launchpad into Wall Street and a trailblazing career across Citrix, VMware, and now Proofpoint.
In this compelling episode, Harry shares how he helped redefine the future of desktop virtualization (VDI), built relationships with legends like Mark Templeton and Brad Pedersen, and drove innovation from the inside—whether on the trading floor or in enterprise tech strategy.
We talk legacy vs. cloud-native architecture, employee experience, Citrix vs. VMware, AI’s next wave, and why empathy and timing matter more than ever in tech leadership.
📌 Watch to the end for Harry’s candid take on innovation, the one thing enterprise IT keeps getting wrong, and his dream to reshape field hockey in the U.S.
