Bio

I am an American technology executive expat living in Hong Kong and working cross-border for Shenzhen, China-based Huawei, China's preeminent technology company. There, I lead vision and strategy across Huawei's overall global business and portfolio, which spans mobile and consumer electronics, telecommunications, and cloud/enterprise IT around the world. Learn more in my intro blog post at https://lnkd.in/fpmFgZK Previously, I spent over 15 years at Red Hat and led many of its strategic new initiatives and most of its business and technology expansions beyond Linux into middleware and cloud. Some other tidbits about me: -I have worked in open source for over 15 years -I travel frequently to meet with customers and speak at events. I've flown about 3 million miles to over 40 countries and eaten everything from shrimp and grits in Charleston to chicken sashimi in Tokyo -I am a reformed engineer. Before, I was a software developer with a Bachelor's and Master's degree in computer science from MIT writing complex Web and distributed applications. Now, I create slide presentations and talk for a living -I have been featured as one of the most influential people in cloud computing -Even though I work in technology, my wife has a much more popular and award-winning blog than me (http://www.tinyurbankitchen.com/)
