This comes across as incredibly tone deaf. People suffered degraded medical care, billions lost in the airline industry, billions more lost in productivity, and ultimately its time that people cannot get back. Yet these clowns are accepting joke awards as if this is something to hang on your trophy wall.
This is actually a c-level executive at ClownStrike, by the way.
> Michael Sentonas serves as President and is responsible for CrowdStrike’s product and go-to-market functions, including its sales, marketing, product & engineering, threat intelligence, privacy & policy, corporate development, corporate strategy and CTO teams

The whole C-level executive suite at ClownStrike needs to go. This company needs a real CTO like Jeremy Rowley. Although I suspect a good person like him would never join the ranks of ClownStrike
- sigmoid10 2y agoWell, this is the second time their CEO caused a major outage by pushing a flawed update for a security product. This whole thing is probably a joke to him.

- hn_throwaway_99 2y agoDid people actually watch the video??? I just don't understand how they think Michael Sentonas was making a joke of all this. If anything, he was acknowledging the horrible outcome of what happened. I don't think this absolves CrowdStrike of responsibility at all, but what would you like him to do, commit harikari on stage?
- xyst 2y agoClearly, step down. Including CEO (George Kurtz) The shit rolls down hill, starting from the c-suite. These clowns clearly cannot change the org and are blind to the issues. Keeping the same leadership means nothing will change. The fact that they even poke their head up for what is clearly a marketing/PR stunt without showing any substance shows how clueless they are. Guy has “20 years” of experience which clearly doesn’t amount to shit. Maybe 20 years of junior experience and falling upwards.
- lupire 2y agoPeople who write "ClownStrike" aren't contributing to discourse. Downvote and move on
- mindslight 2y agoYeah, the event was very clearly a crowd stroke.
- mvdtnz 2y agoI watched the video. I saw this asshole executive with a huge shit eating grin on his face the entire time he gave his PR-managed speech and lapped up the applause of perhaps the stupidest audience in tech history.
- Xen9 2y agoI would like to have had him wear a red clown nose & walk to stage on soundtrack of The Empire Strikes Back. Nothing more, nothing less.
