- Experience with containerization and registries such as Docker, Kubernetes, Docker Hub, Harbor, ECR, GCR, GAR, or similar technologies at enterprise scale.
- Excellent people leadership skills, including hiring, performance management, career development, and building diverse, high-performing teams.
- Strong communication skills, with experience presenting to senior executives and influencing cross-organization priorities.
