Clayton Groom is the owner and Principal Consultant at Clayton Groom, LLc., DBA "SQL Monger."

Speaker: Pamela Mooney
Pamela Mooney is the Data Services Manager with NISA Investment Advisors, LLC. I started my career as a DBA over ten years ago as a midlife career switch. I have worked with every version of SQL Server since 2005, and I currently lead a team of DBAs as we evolve into a multi-platform operation. They teach me every day, and it is a privilege to work with them. The DBA profession finds itself at a pivotal point, with many choices and opportunities before us. I work to ensure that the voice of the DBA is heard, that our depth of knowledge is respected, and that our professionals have a seat at the table as the future unfolds.
