About Joshua Corbett

Field CTO and enterprise cloud architect with 20 years of experience — and a day job that looks different every day. At Archera.ai I develop features, triage engineering tickets, architect integrations, and run strategic presales motions for enterprise accounts, sometimes on the same day. That range is what makes the work interesting and what keeps me credible from the codebase to the boardroom. Currently at Archera.ai, where I built the Azure GTM motion from scratch — zero to $2M ARR and $10M in committed Azure consumption in six months, earned Azure IP Co-Sell ISV designation, and drove 2x partner revenue year over year. Before Archera, I was Field CTO for the South-Central U.S. at Digital Velocity (CDW), leading 10 principal architects across a $100M services book and winning the 2022 CEO Award. Before that, I grew WSM International\'s Azure practice from $6M to $24M — 58% YoY for three straight years, contributing to a profitable acquisition by Connectria in 2019 My work sits at the intersection of cloud architecture, AI strategy, and partner GTM. I hold six Azure certifications including Solutions Architect Expert and AI Engineer Associate, and I\'m a Certified FinOps Practitioner and FOCUS Analyst contributing to the FinOps Foundation FOCUS working group alongside Microsoft, AWS, and Google. I use Claude Code daily. I think AI coding agents are the biggest productivity shift since the IDE — and organizational readiness for them is about two years behind the tooling.
