- HPE Private Cloud Enterprise / Business Edition and GreenLake platforms
- AI/ML platforms (HPE Private Cloud AI, NVIDIA AI Enterprise, AI Factory architectures)
- HPC environments and large-scale compute clusters
- Container platforms (OpenShift, Rancher, Kubernetes ecosystems)
- Ensure seamless integration across:
- Compute, storage, networking (including high-speed interconnects)
- Data platforms and AI pipelines
- Hybrid/multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- Drive adoption of cloud-native, automated, and scalable architectures.
Delivery Leadership & Execution Ownership
