Jeff Gallimore is the chief technology and innovation officer and cofounder at Excella, a mid-size technology firm based in Arlington, VA. Gallimore started his career as a developer and DBA, then turned to the dark side by going into management. Now he lives vicariously through other engineers and reminisces about the good ol’ days when he spent most of his time in a code editor and command line rather than Outlook and Excel. Gallimore currently leads the team building Excella’s capabilities, leading the innovation activities, and managing the go-to-market offerings. He is also active in the technology community as a writer, speaker, co-chair of DevOpsDays DC, and advisor to IT Revolution. Regardless of the role, he keeps a passion for technology and how it can be used to help organizations win in the marketplace and people find the joy in their work.
