    Lead the global executive-level presales consulting team that builds strategy and design for private, public, and hybrid cloud services for both for the IT organizations that seek to run as a service provider for their business or mission, and for-profit cloud service providers.This high performing team has performed hundreds of workshops all over the world for nearly every vertical and region in many of NetApp's largest and most strategic customers, helping them to transform IT service delivery into a cloud service provider model. The result for the customer is predictable service level delivery, lower cost and risk, and higher agility synonymous with "cloud".This unique methodology rapidly assesses the IT footprint, design service levels at all IT layers that are aligned to the requirements of the footprint, plan the performance of the infrastructure, identify cloud use cases for optimum cost and agility, manage storage QoS policy, and enable the roadmap to API-managed infrastructure with cloud automation. Also developed the patent-pending Adaptive QoS algorithm to manage storage QoS policies at scale across an enterprise to deliver storage service levels.The methodology compresses months of meetings and analysis into a one or two day workshop. It describes the future state such that follow-on planning and implementation can be performed to rapidly transition IT services into a cloud service provider model in as little as 30-90 days. NetApp built products using the principles of the NetApp Service Design methodology including the WFA SLO Pack, NetApp Service Level Manager, and Adaptive QoS in ONTAP 9.
