I\u2019ll keep this one short because I can\u2019t say a lot about my job publicly but in the essence of posterity, I wanted to post to this blog that I\u2019ve now been at TomTom for four years. Not a huge career achievement considering my life expectancy but it is a big deal to me at this stage in my life.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I joined TomTom on September 7th of 2010, moved from San Francisco to New Hampshire and started a new life here. It was a big risk for me but I\u2019m truly amazed at all of the incredible innovations and talented people at our company.<\/p>\n
I hope to continue working @ TomTom for many years to come!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I\u2019ll keep this one short because I can\u2019t say a lot about my job publicly but in the…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2016-10-17T19:23:34Z","apple_news_api_id":"f4d22b2e-1565-4bec-bfe3-a3992096c121","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2016-10-17T19:23:34Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/A9NIrLhVlS-y_46OZIJbBIQ","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-4252","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-life","7":"cs-entry","8":"cs-video-wrap"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-16A","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":4499,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2015\/02\/17\/technology-tomtom-multi-sport-cardio-gps-watch\/","url_meta":{"origin":4252,"position":0},"title":"Technology: TomTom Multi-Sport Cardio GPS Watch","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"February 17, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"I\u2019m really excited to be testing this device out.
