ABOUT DAVID JOHNSTON

I lead SUSE’s UK & Ireland business, with full commercial accountability for growth and customer outcomes across enterprise open source infrastructure.I’m also an unapologetic geek. I care about how infrastructure actually works, because ignoring the plumbing is usually what creates the biggest business problems later.What I care about most:‣ When Kubernetes estates grow faster than the governance around them‣ When virtualisation strategy becomes a financial shock rather than a technical one‣ When Linux lifecycle is treated as an afterthought instead of risk management‣ When AI ambition runs ahead of operational maturityEnterprise open source is powerful, but it demands ownership and clarity. The organisations that succeed treat platform strategy as a commercial decision, not just a technical one.If you see infrastructure as a strategic lever rather than a background utility, we will likely have an interesting conversation.
