About Joshua Tieso
I’m a cloud infrastructure and data platform leader with 20+ years of experience operating mission-critical enterprise systems across healthcare and SaaS environments. I currently lead shared data services and cloud infrastructure strategy supporting a large-scale SaaS platform, with accountability for reliability, performance, disaster recovery (BCDR), and multi-million-dollar cloud spend across a hybrid environment. My focus is on reliability, governance, and modernization—ensuring platforms are resilient, cost-efficient, and aligned to business growth. I’ve led cross-functional teams across platform engineering, data, and operations, and partner closely with executive leadership on cloud strategy, risk mitigation, and platform evolution. More recently, I’ve been expanding into Azure data platform and governance initiatives, including metadata management and data lifecycle visibility, helping evolve legacy systems into modern cloud architectures.
