Cornelia Davis is a software technologist with more than thirty years of experience who drives technical strategy, product development, and go-to-market, and helps customers leverage said technology to further their business goals. Cornelia prefers to spend half her time directly engaged with customers, deeply understanding their needs and finding solutions to their problems. The other half of the time, she spends distilling what she learns through these engagements and using that to drive product evolution as well as industry advancement through evangelism, conferences, and writing. Her personal mantra is “free your mind.” She is also the author of Cloud Native: Designing Change-Tolerant Software. And she still cuts code, even if only a bit of the time.
