When Jamie was hired at Palo Alto Networks in 2011, I told him, "We're a startup and we need you delivering on day one." I almost feel bad in retrospect because Jamie didn't have any product management experience at the time, but I must have known that he would thrive under the challenge. I believed then (as I do now) that in product management, talent is often more important than experience. To really know Lewis, you have to spend time with him. Whether it's joining a phone call to hear his endlessly positive voice, or hearing his passion when speaking about celebrity real estate, his role model, Lebron James, or grapefruits, he's a constant presence in our working lives that will never be quite the same.
