Katie Gamanji

Katie is the Ecosystem Advocate for CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) that steers the End User Community. Katie’s focus is to foster the growth and visibility of the End User Community while bridging the gap with other ecosystem units, such as project maintainers, TOCs, and SIGs. In the past roles, Katie contributed to the build-out of platforms that gravitate towards cloud-native principles and open-source tooling, with Kubernetes as the focal point. These projects started with the automation of application delivery on OpenStack-based infrastructure, which transitioned into the creation of a centralized, globally distributed platform at Condé Nast.
