Reducing barriers to adoption of OpenStack by organisations of all types.

Previously Product Manager in AWS EC2 and OpenStack PM at Canonical before that. Involved OpenStack since 2011, I helped design and release Canonical's OpenStack distribution from 2011 to 2018 and was an OpenStack Board Director for several years. A 25 year career in infrastructure software with Product Management, Product Marketings and Solutions architecture roles at Oracle, Red Hat, Canonical, MySQL and a couple of startups. Now recently joined Neo4j as lead PM for SaaS products running across a number of different clouds. I love spending time with Open Source infrastructure technology learning about the differing models, communities and the challenges of each.
