The NWC Interview: Citrix Systems' Mark Templeton
Tuesday, 23 January 2007 by Michel Roth
After Brian's "technical" interview with Mark Templeton there's also an interview available at Networkingcomputing.com that dicusses the financial side of the Citrix company: "
Citrix Systems' chief executive Mark Templeton talks about the capabilities he's been adding at a time when his company has passed the $1 billion sales mark."

One of the most interesting quotes from the article is this one:

"Probably very few people know that Citrix wouldn't be in business today if not for a million-dollar eleventh-hour investment by Microsoft a decade ago. If Microsoft were to offer you, oh, 7,000 times that amount tomorrow, would you say, 'I'm yours'?"

Mark's answer: "Tough question! As a member of the board and CEO of a public company, I'd do what was right for our shareholders. But our strategy is very much to be independent and continue to grow and make a difference in the industry."
