Droplet Computing
today announced the appointment of Michelle
Laverick as Chief Technologist. Michelle’s background in training,
blogging, VMware and Citrix make her the ideal candidate for this newly created
role.
“One of Michelle’s key responsibilities will be technical channel enablement,”
commented Peter von Oven, CTO and founder Droplet Computing. “As a highly
regarded and respected trainer, Michelle was one of the first Citrix and VMware
certified instructors. She is also known for her contributions to the Tech Field
Day events as a delegate blogger.”
Michelle is also well known for her blog, RTFM-ed, that was one of the top
resources for educational content for VMware technologies. It was so popular
that in 2010 Tech Target acquired it. She has spoken at many VMware User Groups
across the globe, as well as having authored 8 books on various VMware
technologies. Her technical background will be exploited in her new role, as
she will also be responsible for creating and reviewing technical
documentation, be a liaison between the customers and development for product
feedback and contributing to the overall product strategy.
“In my capacity as an industry blogger I get to see many new and exciting
technologies. I was at the Tech Field Day when Droplet Computing came out of
stealth and was very intrigued by the technology,” stated Michelle Laverick,
Chief Technologist Droplet Computing. “To be recruited into this new role is
very exciting and I’m looking forward to the diversity of the role and being
part of this new way to deliver applications.”
