About Alistair Sloan

I am a technologist with experience in both the technical and business side of companies. My background is in product management, technical infrastructure, engineering, P&L, M&A, sales and contract negotiation.I\'ve worked at start-ups – one that IPO\'d and another that was acquired – and large, publicly traded, industry leading technology companies. They are different experiences but at the core it’s fundamentally people, products, process and metrics that make the difference. Getting those aspects correct is essential and with it, you can do great things.I believe it’s critical the technology teams understand the business side of their company and market. Their direct output is essentially the product. I am passionate about creating and leading teams that understand and merge these two aspects.Everyone delivers a product.Experience:Product ManagementBusiness Unit P&L and Business Development Technical Infrastructure Engineering & OperationsSoftware Development ManagementConfiguration Management, Release Planning and Production Code DeploymentNetwork Architecture, Engineering and OperationsMergers, Acquisitions and Due DiligenceContract Negotiations (IP, Colocation, CDN, Equipment) and Deal StructuresStrategic and Competitive AnalysisMember NSTAC Presidential sub-committee on Industrial Internet Security 20••••14
