WORK HISTORY
Emea Director Value Strategy, App and Cloud Platforms @Red Hat
Helping Red Hat’s customers shape their platform strategy and understand the value of investing in the complete portfolio of Red Hat software and the community. Working with Red Hat’s key customers and partners across EMEA, building customer-first strategies that address the technology challenges that underpin business and board-level initiatives by directly engaging with their executive teams to articulate the strategic and financial value of Red Hat’s capabilities and message. I also support Red Hat’s regional sales leadership and sales teams as a key source of market insight into how our customer view the benefits of using Red Hat technology, and how to develop re-usable C-Level account strategies and go to market content to allow this to be scaled out – all whilst providing feedback to BU, product development and marketing. Alongside this I support development and creation of the assets and messaging that is required to position Red Hat’s value as the trusted platform for both today’s workloads, traditional IT Virtualization through the Modern Application platforms supporting the AI workloads of tomorrow – and helping enable Red Hat’s teams to take that message to customers at scale.

SKILLS
ABOUT ED HOPPITT
I have had 25 years experience in Enterprise Technology, combining real-world operational experience gained from 13 years working for a Global Telco with 12 years supporting some of the worlds largest enterprises - helping them build out IT and innovation strategies aligned to their ever changing business goals. I have a history of making real impact, in particular with bringing new technologies to market and empowering customers and sales/pre-sales teams to deliver them. I am a real believer in championing talent in the quest for delivering customer success and have built and run talent organisations as well as building SME groups to amplify skills within organisations. As as accomplished speaker and story teller I can bring customer impact standing on a stage in front of or in a 1:1 environment with a senior leader where my real-world operational background affords me credibility and empathy. That combined with my expertise in knowing how to empower people to execute against a strategy allows me to connect across organisations and bring influence and change without authority. Outside of work I am a maker and builder at heart, evidenced by winning BBC TV\'s Robot Wars World Championships - and then taking that success and turning it into a vehicle for advancement of young people in STEM around the world.It\'s my unique experience and ability to bring impact that led to me being included in the Palo Alto Computer History museum as a \"Founders Interview\" exploring my journey in the industry from school to where I am today, something I am immensely proud of.Please get in touch if you want to know more, either via LinkedIn or find me on Twitter @edhoppitt
