Nerdio CRO on Microsoft Cloud Strategy, Citrix/VMware Alternatives & Partner Success - NerdioCon 2025

Written by

In this exclusive VMblog interview from NerdioCon 2025 in Palm Springs, California, VMblog sits down with Joseph Landes, co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer of Nerdio, to discuss the company's partner-first approach and strategy in the evolving cloud virtualization landscape.

Joseph shares valuable insights on Nerdio's growth journey, emphasizing how being an "outside-in company" that prioritizes listening to partners and customers has been crucial to their success. This core value has guided Nerdio through nearly seven years of expansion in the Microsoft cloud ecosystem.

The conversation highlights what sets Nerdio apart in the competitive cloud virtualization space, including their ability to move quickly in response to customer needs and their strategic decision to focus exclusively on Microsoft technologies for end-user computing solutions.

Joseph addresses the current market disruption caused by Citrix and VMware's changing strategies, explaining how Nerdio is positioning itself as the reliable alternative for partners feeling uncertain about the future. He references analyst reports showing Microsoft's leadership position in the desktop-as-a-service market and Nerdio's role in helping organizations make that transition.

For those considering attending future NerdioCon events, Joseph emphasizes the unique value of content focused specifically on desktop virtualization and Microsoft cloud technologies, along with the collaborative community of professionals facing similar challenges.
