I have over 20 years’ experience in the IT, cloud and hosting industry gained in a variety of roles spanning project management to product release and product marketing. I’m responsible for product marketing for SUSE OpenStack Cloud, and have been working with OpenStack since it was released in 2010. Outside of work, I enjoy running, cycling, great beer (craft, cask, keg – call it what you like as long as it tastes good), spending time with my family, playing the piano and charity fundraising – I’ve been supporting the Movember Foundation since 2006, and have run multiple races, climbed mountains and cycled around the UK for many charities over the years.

Abstract:

A recent survey of IT decision makers revealed that 95% believe Software-Defined Infrastructure to be the future of the data centre. Join SUSE to hear about this evolution, and why OpenStack should be at the heart of your Software-Defined Infrastructure
