James Read

A technically orientated IT professional, with a focus on Technical Partner Management in the Cloud and Service Provider space. I look after Red Hat's Global CCSPs from a technical perspective in EMEA - Microsoft Azure, Google Compute Platform, Amazon Web Services and Rackspace. What this really translates to is joint opportunity engagement, increasing awareness, technical enablement, content development and internal evangelism.

I've built (and actively maintain) a broad and detailed understanding across all aspects of cloud, as well as software engineering, system administration, and networking. This is reinforced through education (eg; variety of certifications), but many years of real personal and professional experience.
