About Gil Kirkpatrick

I am a veteran enterprise software product executive with a successful track record in technology strategy, product design and development, R&D management, and business development. Several of my products have become award-winning industry leaders generating tens of millions of dollars in sales annually. My technology expertise is primarily in the areas of identity and access management, disaster recovery, and distributed systems management. I founded and chaired The Directory Experts Conference (later renamed the Experts Conference), the premier conference for Microsoft identity and access technologies, and I wrote the first book on Microsoft’s Active Directory for programmers, Active Directory Programming. I am currently the Chief Architect at Semperis.Specialties: Identity and access technologiesSoftware product strategyDistributed system software design and developmentSoftware engineering managementProduct managementSoftware developmentTechnology community developmentSpeaking and writing
