How will you help engineers get on board and hit the ground running?
When we buy companies, our goal is to learn from those organizations and how they do things best. Simply put, no one knows your franchise
better than you. This philosophy is one of the reasons our acquisitions have been so successful.
I plan to meet with many more of you
in-person
following the closing of the transaction. Between now and that time, well be working on the integration planning and on ensuring a seamless transition following the closing. As we have additional
updates to share, we will do so.
We hope you are as excited about our future together as we are.
Regards,
Hock Tan
President and CEO of Broadcom
