Docker's monetization strategy is shifting from a single product to multiple offerings. The next $100-200 million in revenue will come from new products launching alongside Docker Desktop and Hub, each requiring new pricing models that let sales teams sell bundles instead of one-off deals.

2 years ago, they bring you in. What was the mandate and mission and charter as you saw it and as they saw it?
For the first 6 months was really focused on that core product, looking at it, making recommendations, implementing those. Um, the next iteration of Docker's growth is going to come from multiproduct. So Docker has this great product that's used by millions of people today. You know, the next, the next $100 million or $200 million in ARR is going to come from attaching other great revolutionary groundbreaking technologies and software to Docker Desktop, to Docker Hub. And so very quickly, like my job has become developing pricing models for brand new products, which is fascinating, which is a really cool thing. It's very, very fun to do. So I mean, Docker's launched two new products in the last two years. So that was a large part of my— sorry, in the last 10 months. So that's been a large part of my job. You know, there's going to be 2 new products in the next 10 months. So, um, but then also like the, the other pillar here, it's been a lot of my focus this year, is making sure that when we're releasing new products and the new products pricing, we aren't putting ourselves into a situation that's going to be really messy and hard to untangle. And so I've had to take a step back and think about, okay, like what's— how are how are people going to consume Docker and purchase Docker and how can we package Docker in a way that makes it very easy for sales to sell and for people to adopt? And so, and less of a kind of a one-off purchase for each individual product. So that's been a huge part of my focus this year.
