Rackspace, the #1 managed cloud companySenior Technical Trainer - Linux / Cloud
Sep. 2012 - Mar. 2017London, United KingdomFor this role, I again picked up the Linux training mantle, with the addition of creating & delivering training for Rackspace's Open Cloud platform, for both technical & non-technical audiences. In a collaboration with our product team, we created a training entity which offered some of this training to the public in cities across the UK, at private courses & at our 'Cloud Unlocked' events. I was also responsible for the build & maintenance of the virtualised infrastructure we used to connect / provision / create bespoke environments for our 4 technical training labs in our newly build campus. During this time I was one of five nominees for employee of the year, for a cross-function campaign I ran to assess & boost engagement & combat attrition. During this time I was a 'dotted line' member of the Talent & Development leadership team, attending all off-site strategy sessions, working on globalising T&D function by creating an international brand & identity.
