The EMEA VCI of the Quarter award for the period of January to March 2015 goes to Gary Mobey from United Kingdom. During the quarter he delivered several classes including vSphere, Virtual SAN, Site Recovery Manager, and Horizon. On several of these courses all the students gave him perfect scores along with outstanding feedback such as:
“Top guy with an answer to everything.”
”Brilliant instruction from Gary!”
“Excellent Instructor. Best I’ve had.”
“I have attended a lot of courses over the years and Gary is one of the only instructors that has managed to keep me engaged and interested throughout the length of the course. His knowledge is impressive and his ability to relate the theory to real life is extremely useful.”
Gary was among the top VCIs in the region in terms of number of days teaching, and he was also top in evaluation scores. Despite being on platform every week he managed to deliver an impressively wide range of courses to a very high standard. He was also among the first to deliver the new vSphere 6 and vRealize Operations: Install, Configure, and Manage courses.
