What do you believe sets Western Digital apart from other companies? This is an easy one. Are people the people? I believe the people. I actually think it's the people. I think we have really remarkable employees here and I'm often struck by how long people have been here. Like when I sit in a meeting, I ask people how long they've worked here. It's pretty common for them to say 25 plus years. You wake up in the morning, you think I'm going to talk to smart people today who are way smarter than I am. And that's something that makes me smile. Western Digital. Is a 55 year old or young company and the company over those 55 years has been able to reinvent itself multiple times and the people have figured out a way to make that happen. We've always attracted the right people to do it and I think that's what makes us unique. We have so many inherent capabilities within the company. We can drive new innovation Dr. new areas of growth to achieve that goal. Anytime you need help, you can find someone to help you and it's really the thing that. I I think sets us apart. That's really the people. Doesn't matter which function, they're all working towards the same goal. And that is the single reason why I've kind of stayed on in the company for 18 years. It's the people and the amount of, you know, knowledge and horsepower that's there in the company. I think that makes it unique and differentiated. We truly do have the best people in the business, people that care the most, the people that want to do right for the business, for themselves, for their colleagues, peers, partners and friends.
