Meet October's Cloud Champion
techUK's 'Cloud Champion' campaign showcases technology leaders that are playing a leadership role in championing and supporting organisation’s move to the cloud.
The campaign will highlight best practice by leaders that are creating cloud enabled organisations, across all sectors, and a cloud driven workforce that will be vital for the UK’s digital future.
This campaign follows the launch of techUK's Cloud 2020 Vision for keeping the UK at the forefront of Cloud adoption which highlighted the importance of supporting organisations given the cultural shift required to optimise the use of cloud.
A new techUK 'Cloud Champion’ will be chosen every month, so if you would like to nominate a friend or colleague to be the next 'Cloud Champion' please drop Sue Daley a line with a bit of information about them!
October's Cloud Champion is Matthew McGrory, Managing Director at Carrenza Ltd.
Read on for a little taster and find the full interview below.
What is your current role and responsibilities?
I’m the Managing Director for Carrenza Ltd and I am responsible for the running of the business on a tactical and strategic level.
What does a typical day involve?
A typical day may involve some internal meetings to keep abreast of what is going across the business, meeting a customer or two and ensuring that we are still going in the right direction.
What do you most enjoy about your work?
The variety and the ability to turn ideas into reality really quickly with the team I work with.
How have you supported the organisations adoption and implementation of cloud?
Well we are ‘The Cloud’, we have built our own Compliant Cloud which we sell to customers and we also resell these alongside the Hyperscale providers Google, Microsoft and AWS providing Multi-Cloud solutions for our customers.
