About Cliff Simpkins
I\'m a DevRel and developer marketing executive with 15+ years building go-to-market strategies that translate complex platforms into compelling value propositions for developers and technical decision makers. I\'m currently building a Developer Relations team at UiPath - bringing together humans, AI agents, and automation robots to unlock business outcomes.I believe great developer engagement requires genuine technical understanding combined with authentic community engagement. Whether I’m scaling a 22-person global organization or crafting hands-on product stories, I focus on creating experiences that genuinely help developers succeed while driving measurable business outcomes.Career Highlights:• I led the Auth0 DevRel and Developer Marketing teams at Okta, reaching and delighting 120k+ developers in-person annually and 2.8M monthly digital users with insightful and educational developer content.• I created cross-functional \"Developer Councils\" at Auth0 and Microsoft that aligned Marketing, PLG, and Product teams on metrics, launch, and content strategies - creating connected developer journeys that accelerated their time to value.• At Microsoft, I rebuilt Azure\'s developer marketing into a global motion that engaged 3.4M developers annually across digital programs, communities, and learning programs
