Product Announcements

Going to VMworld? Meet the Technical Marketing Team!

By Duncan Epping, Principal Architect.

Many have asked me if I could make a list of all the people from the VMware Technical Marketing team responsible for vSphere and the Cloud Infrastructure Suite (or components of) who are presenting at VMworld. I have listed everyone below who is presenting and where applicable have added links to follow that person on Twitter and of course the links to the sessions. Note that many of the Technical Marketing Team members will be part of the “Experts Program” and it will be possible to join our group discussions, but more news about that program will follow soon.

If you spot one of us don’t hesitate to say hi. If you have product feedback (positive / negative) we love to hear it. If you have a cool success story, share it. If there was a piece of collateral (video / whitepaper) very useful let us know, so we can keep on producing what you love reading.

Of course this is not all of outbound facing Technical Marketing. There is one person missing on the list, this is Grant Suzuki. Grant is a Senior Tech Marketing Manager who focuses on Security. Grant is not presenting at VMworld but will be around!

And of course all of the people above would not be able to do their jobs without support. There is a team led by Pablo Roesch which is responsible for for instance Demos, Hands On Labs and our TM Cloud infrastructure… Members of this team are: Bruce Ward, Jeff Godfrey, Dave Mischak, Rob Noth, Dennis Wilson, Tina Walsworth and Andrew Hald. Of course, let’s not forget our management team: Kaushik Banerjee (Director Technical Marketing), Jim Senicka (Group Manager) and Charu Chaubal (Group Manager).

Once again, if you bump in to any of us at VMworld (or any other event) don’t hesitate to say hi!
