Cloud Foundry with Joshua McKenty co-founder of OpenStack

Join us and meet Joshua McKenty and hear Pivotal's vision for Cloud Foundry.

Joshua McKenty recently joined Pivotal as Field CTO for Cloud Foundry. An entrepreneur and technologist who has been highly influential in defining and bringing cloud solutions to market, Joshua works with Fortune 100 customers who seek a new platform for the development and deployment of cloud-native applications. He works closely with Pivotal’s Cloud Foundry team to bring new features and functionality to Cloud Foundry-based products, the industry standard enterprise platform for the cloud era.

A San Francisco Business Times 40-Under-40 Leader (http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/print-edition/2013/03/01/joshua-mckenty-co-founder-and-chief.html?page=all)and NASA Ames Honor Award Recipient, McKenty was instrumental in moving several ground-breaking cloud projects from inception to influencing the broader cloud computing market. He is the co-founder of OpenStack, founder of Piston Cloud Computing, and founding Technical Architect of NASA Nebula, the Federal Government's first cloud computing platform.

Before OpenStack became the definitive open cloud solution on the market, with multi-billion dollar commitments from IBM, HP, Cisco and Red Hat, and VMware, McKenty led the development of the NASA-sponsored IaaS that would become OpenStack’s flagship project.

As co-founder of Piston Cloud Computing, he helped shepherd the company into a mature software business, driving exponential year-over-year revenue growth, and attracting marquee customers through private cloud solutions for the enterprise, including the first commercially supported OpenStack/Cloud Foundry integration.
