Made in Loudoun County, refined in the West Country.

Hello 👋. I’m Ed.

I’m a former musician and ex-soldier who fell into technology by mistake when I left the army.

Turns out I’m good at it, so I’m still here, and currently in my second stint working at Rubrik, Inc as the product strategy and go-to-market technical lead for EMEA and APAC in their emerging products business unit, Rubrik X. We’re responsible for defining the GTM strategy of, and then executing on, bringing Rubrik’s new products to market, and are currently focussed on driving the cloud and data security/DSPM product lines.

In between my terms at Rubrik I took a brief, 2 year sojurn at Google Cloud in their SecOps business working on Chronicle SIEM.

What do I do?

I’m a strong IT generalist with over a decade spent in the industry, I have extensive experience in infrastructure architecture and design, converged systems, enterprise storage and virtualisation, cloud architectures, and business continuity/disaster recovery.

A geek at heart, I am passionate about technology, and how customers can utilize emerging and existing technologies to solve their business’ problems. I am a strong proponent and advocate for DevOps methodologies using automation, orchestration, config management, and CI/CD to accelerate business results through technology, I firmly believe that removing many of the silos that exist in most IT departments can drive real results that turn IT into a business enabler rather than a cost centre

Here are a few things that I’ve focussed on recently from a technology perspective:

• Cloud Computing & SecOps
• Automation & Orchestration
• Infrastructure as Code
• Distributed Systems
• Cloud Native Architectures

And some that I spent a long time doing back in the day:

• Converged & Hyper-Converged Infrastructure
• Virtualisation
• Enterprise Storage
• DR & Business Continuity
