Kimberly
Build. Create. Enable. 🛠️
Since I was young, I loved disassembling electronics and solving puzzles. Technology is much more than a passion for me. I have a natural need to create, imagine, and build. My mission is to enable others to embrace uncertainty since there is no linear path to success. To create their own path, their own opportunities, and their own success.
Over the last decade I've worked across developer relations, engineering, product marketing, open source strategy, technical enablement, and go-to-market leadership. Whether building developer communities, supporting open source ecosystems, or helping field teams adopt AI and cloud technologies, I've always been drawn to the same challenge: connecting people, ideas, and execution.
Things I Believe
- 🏠 Communities create opportunities
- 🌱 Growth happens when we're exposed to different perspectives
- ⭐ Great leaders help others create their own success
Career Journey
Developer Relations
Building communities, technical content, and developer experiences.
⇩
Open Source & Platform Strategy
Driving Prodcut adoption: Linux, Kubernetes, and Open Source technologies.
⇩
Enablement & GTM Leadership
Building programs, communications, and operating models that help organizations execute at scale.
My career has taken me from developer communities to GTM strategy, but the motivation has always been the same: helping people succeed with technology.
I've worked across GitHub, Auth0, and Microsoft, building developer programs, leading open source initiatives, designing enablement experiences, and helping organizations adopt new technologies at scale.
Today I focus on Cloud & AI strategy and enablement, helping teams navigate complexity, create alignment, and turn ideas into action.

Experience
Over the past 10+ years I've helped developers, communities, and organizations adopt technology in meaningful ways. From building developer programs at GitHub and Auth0 to leading Open Source, Cloud, AI, and enablement initiatives at Microsoft, I've been fortunate to work across developer ecosystems, platform strategy, community building, and go-to-market leadership.
Along the way, I've had the opportunity to build communities, create learning experiences, launch programs, influence strategy, and support teams at scale—earning 5 Canadian Marketing Association Awards across Innovative Media, Brand Building, Customer Experience, and Business Impact.
