We are pleased to share another spotlight on one of our raffle winners from our July Odyssey raffle. Today’s winner is Samantha Warnes, a Senior Program Manager based in England. Learn a little bit more about Samantha with our Q&A interview below:
Q: Hi Samantha, what you do for work?
A: I am a Senior Program Manager for the Global Professional Services teams at OpenText. I am responsible for a number of strategic programs to support growth, effectiveness and efficiency improvements. One of our key initiatives is around Containerization and this is why I was interested in the Kubernetes Lab.
Q: How long have you been in your field?
A: With a degree in Information Systems with Artificial Intelligence, I have been in the IT industry for over 20 years, and whilst I have spent much time in non-technical roles I enjoy understand and working hands-on with technology.
Q: Do you regularly use VMware products?
A: I have used VMware fusion for many years as a solution consultant to enable me to deliver Demos. Today, I don’t use any products in my role but it is important I understand how our consultants and customers use such technologies and products.
Q: What is one thing you enjoy about Odyssey?
A: I really enjoyed how easy it was to have a live, hands-on environment to learn, and practice with. I found the hands-on lab a really great way to learn, and it was excellent to be able to try it first hand, not as a video or canned demo. I also liked the added benefit of the competition of the leader boards to be a motivation. I would suggest anyone to give them a try!
