Bryan Kirschner, VP of Strategy at DataStax, has joined the DEVOPSdigest Vendor Forum.

For more than 20 years, Kirschner has helped large organizations build and execute strategy when they are seeking new ways forward and a future materially different from their past. He specializes in removing fear, uncertainty, and doubt from strategic decision-making through empirical data and market sensing. Prior to joining DataStax, Kirschner was named the first Director of Open Source Strategy in the history of Microsoft and was instrumental in a task force that resulted in then-CEO Steve Ballmer’s 2010 landmark speech declaring that Microsoft was "all in" on cloud computing. In 2013 he founded the Apigee Institute, bringing Apigee customers, world-class experts, and groundbreaking research together to help enterprises accelerate digital transformation. Following the company’s acquisition by Google, he led research and strategy for Google Cloud Developer Relations and DevOps Platform. Kirschner holds a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from Yale University.

With DataStax, any enterprise can mobilize real-time data and quickly build the smart, high-scale applications required to become a true data-driven business. DataStax Astra DB combines the power of Apache Cassandra—the world’s most scalable database—with the advanced Apache Pulsar streaming technology in a unified stack delivered as a service on any cloud.
